Told at check in we owe a $45 resort fee and an hour later I asked if the hotel has a pool and the front desk person seriously said to me “no we have the ocean what are we a resort”. Maybe it’s training or maybe you need to make it more clear that a resort fee is owed, but the beacon is definitely not a resort. I thought that it was fine. Basic value hotel that kind of presented itself as something above that. But like I said, it was fine, but they should not be charging a resort fee.

Our room was fine though a little outdated. The elevator was not working. However, a kind employee helped us with our bags. We asked about securing tickets for the Hop On/ Hop Off Bus. They set us up with a local service that was horrible (Miami Tours). The onsite restaurant was very good.

The room itself was a good size and the bed was comfortable. Reviewers have commented on the bathroom size, but I thought it was fine and updated. My only negatives: lumpy pillows, doors constantly slamming shut (I was on the first floor), garbage truck just after 7:00 AM (though not hotel’s fault), I needed to ask for washcloths on my second night, returned to room very late on Thursday and found I didn’t have a bathmat or washcloths, no hangars in closet, coffee bar not refilled. Just to let others know: this hotel was built in 1937 and received some updates in 1948, so don’t expect a modern place like any of the major chain hotels/suites. An adequate job has been done to bring it up to a fairly comfortable hotel with the major room amenities. On-site restaurant inside and outside with room service and 15% discount for hotel guests. No carpeting in room (but nice floor tiles), window air conditioner, walk-in shower, large closet, small coffee bar, TV ( I could only find three channels but I was hardly in my room), no in-room telephone. When I was there the elevator wasn’t working so I was given a first floor room. Help was offered to carry bags upstairs for those above floors. A historic property on Ocean Drive and you can access the beach by walking across the street. Beach not visible from the street at this address. I walked around a lot, about five miles each day; lots to see.

The elevator was broken. My daughter is handicapped so they had to put us in 2 rooms on the first floor. The mattresses didn’t fit the bed frames and were hanging off the sides. The rooms had no design. Just white walls. The location was good. We loved sitting outside at the restaurant. Staff were friendly.
