I found the Hotel Clifton in South Beach to be fantastic, and in particular, the staff. I was only there for 1 night, so dealt mainly with the night supervisor, who was fabulous in recommending me places to eat, advising me of the bus schedule for the airport and giving me general information about the area. I had no issues... More

After reading the terrible reviews, I wasn't expecting much of the Clifton. But we were pleasantly surprised and did enjoy our stay. To start, the location is awesome. It's right near the 14th street entrance to South Beach public beach, and it's within walking distance of everything. The staff were incredibly kind (Andrew at the front desk was awesome). There's...

CONS: The staff was apathetic. I had a series of problems, and every time it was as if I was inconveniencing them. The bed was so hard, I had to sleep atop a line of pillows. I consulted the staff about switching to another hotel in their chain...their response was the only other with double/doubles available was not as nice... More

Located minutes from the beach, deco strip, clubs, restuarants and shopping - this hotel puts you in the center of the action. They have free wifi - although not always reliable. Rooms are clean but small, which is fine if you plan on spending most of your time out and about. The walls are thin - so bring ear plugs.... More

The Good: - Very nice service staff. Friendly and helpful. - Great location. - Decent price. The Bad: - Poor lighting in the rooms and especially the bathroom - Curtains aren't one solid piece and so streetlights at night and daylight in the morning illuminated our room. - WiFi internet was down for two days (although hardwired net continued to...

Thank you for your review and I am glad to hear you found our location and your room to be excellent. Unfortunately the extra door as we discussed a week after your checkout is an access for the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is on the noise produced is no louder than that of the air conditioner in your... More

I loved the Clifton Hotel. Check-in was quick and easy! We got there at 1 and check-in is not until 3, but the girl at the front desk was really sweet and let us check-in early! She always had a smile on her face and knew some of the best places to go. The door man was really nice and... More

I cannot recommend the Clifton. It was noisy all night with paper thin walls, yelling in the hall ways at 4:00 am and front desk not doing anything. The guest would keep slamming the doors for some reason. THere was no need to do it but they did it anyway, It is a good hotel for someone with a low... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Clifton. Everything from the carpet to the shower was eco friendly, and we appreciated that. It was also conveniently located a block from the beach, and near shops and restaurants. My only complaint was the late check in time (3 pm) and the room was a little dark. More
