do yourself a favor and book an oceanFRONT room - the property has two buildings, with the older tower being much closer to collins and all the street noise that it brings with it. the oceanfront rooms all are in the buildings tahts much more set back and face the pool and ocean, and if you can score a high...

We had booked thru Booking.com and the hotel (on pictures) looked quite cute. Well, when we got there, we were shocked. The smell coming out of that first room was so horrible, and it didn't look like any of the pictures, the receiptionist was nice but didn't speak much English. After we told him that we didn't want to stay... More

Really enjoyed my stay at the James hotel last week. You expect good service in a five star hotel but the staff at the James went out of their way to make it special and memorable. Nothing was too much trouble, even when my husband left a Miami book behind, the manager, Michael, found another copy for him immediately. The... More

2nd time Here in the last 2 months!! Loved this hotel!! Great location! Near Lincoln road and espanola way!! Nicely renovated! On the beach and lovely pool!! Loved the concierge Ivan!! So helpful and accommodating! He had great recommendations for restaurants!! Had an overall great experience!

We have just checked into our hotel and already this place is HORRRIFIC. The luggage took an hour to get yo stairs The sheets on the bed are not clean and our room is as small as a postage stamp for 500 a night. A partial ocean view room is a real stretch and the furn is crammed in and... More

Avoid James Hotel, South Beach Miami. Most of the hotels at South Beach were sold out last week in February 2013 so we ended up at this terrible place.Paid USD 2042 for 8 nights. No value for money. Non existing cleaning, rooms very poorly furnished and filthy, depressive experience. And if this wouldn´t be enough, this hotel has pets: BEDBUGS!... More

spent a couple of months at the James Hotel.. (2nd time) was obviously happy with my first stay (or wouldn't have gone back) but would have to say this year was even better.. my room was quite nice, a little bigger than the previous year.. all the rooms seem to be a little different. 2 beds, (some rooms have 1...

We spend the night in South Beach and I found this hotel on Booking.com. At $139 a night, this was one of the best prices in South Beach and after reading a few reviews it seemed pretty decent. We knew we wouldn't be in the room for long. But- YIKES!! The women at the desk didn't speak much English at... More

This place looks like it popped out the movie Bird Cage. Stayed here because it was cheap and a last minute idea before we left Florida. Rooms are VERY Basic. Something that many hotel goers would probably rate as bad. There are beds, clean bathrooms and TV. All you need on vacatoin. All in all it was nice and cheap.... More
