As a long time loyal fan & customer, I expected much more from Marriott than what this tired, small, overpriced, underserviced property offers. At $500 a night for our small room with standing only balcony (I know it's high season) and the worst executive lounge I've ever experienced made me regret deciding to stay here. We got in Friday night,... More

this hotel is not worth be a marriot, because believe me, it is not. Inside the hotel everything needs to be renewed. Elevator smells like garbage and use his license to work has expired. Regarding rooms, besides being small, need new furniture and headboards. The bathroom is too small and it is able only 1 person be inside. The overview... More

This hotel is on ocean drive but just a few blocks away from where all off the action starts on the strip. This was a good thing. The rooms were small but comfy. The pool was great and so were the snacks you could order poolside. Yummy sliders! We went there for a wedding. It took place out n the... More

Just back from our first stay at this Marriott. Great hotel staff, from front desk to Sophia at the pool!! We were greeted with "welcome back" each time we left and returned for the day/evening. Area is busy at night and loved that it was close to several great restaurants. Pros: great location, on the beach, nice pool area and... More

We stayed at The Marriot South Beach for 2 nights in Summer of 2011. This property is located directly on the South Beach on 1st Oceans Drive and trust me it has the most amazing view of the Miami Beach. Being Marriot , you always expect quality & being on South Beach it delivers right on the money. The beach... More

My major complaint: We reserved, and had confirmation, for a room with two beds. We were given a room with a king bed, and were offfered a "complimentary" rollaway bed, so we had a very uncomfortable two nights, and will not stay here again. Marriott's explanation was that there were "too many" families at the hotel and they were given... More

We stayed two nights at this lovely Marriott property and were wishing it was longer. It has a great location right on the beach but a bit away from the noise of South Beach. Really it is the perfect distance away -- a quick walk from all the fun but still a little bit quieter than other places I have... More
