A comfortable, affordable hotel with awesome staff

Overall, this hotel offers a great value. It is conveniently located near the beach and Lincoln Road and the rooms were comfortable at a very reasonable price. The hotel manager (Luciano) was extremely professional and nice, and the hotel and its staff were very responsive to all of our requests. Overall, we had a very nice stay thanks to Luciano and his expert team. Plus, as we were told, the hotel will soon undergo a major remodeling so this should make it even more impressive once it re-opens!

Bday get away

The only thing that was good about this hotel was the price & location. When I first arrived the hotel couldn't find my reservation. The hotel had a funky odor & needs to be renovated. The rooms could use a lot of TLC. Old beds with no headboards, iron stains on the carpet, old carpet & the doors to the rooms could easily be broken into. No fresh towels & wash clothes were stocked daily & neither was clean linen. If you only plan on using the room to sleep & shower & not stay for more than 2-3 nights then u should be ok. If not...don't waste your money.

I loved it...

I really liked this hotel. The only thing that was missing was an in-house restaurant - however once you step outside of the hotel you are surrounded by plenty of restaurants. This hotel was one block away from the nightlife, the beach, shopping and a couple of blocks away from Miami Ink and Lincoln Road. The rooms were clean and refreshing, the pool had ample shade as well as sun, and the service was great. It was a nice quaint boutique hotel that I would recommend to others. The price was very reasonable.

A place to sleep

noisy, because of street activity. Very old and outdated, but we did learn that they are going to completely refurbish this hotel and it will become part of the hotel that it backs up to. They are adding two more levels and the pool will be on the roof. It will take about 18 months from now, May of 2015. Sounds like it will be very nice. Beds were comfortable:)

Second time around was just as nice as the first!

Stayed here back in 2007, and again this week, and had a great stay, thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff. Their white on white on white linens and towels made it reassuring that everything was clean, as sometimes hotels recycle their linens because they have prints that don't let you see stains lol. My room and bathroom were extra clean and uncluttered, which makes my trips that much less stressful. I have stayed at other, more expensive miami hotels, and have not been half as satisfied with their service, cleanliness nor accessibility.

Good location. Terrible service.

The location is where you want to be but there is not one good thing about the hotel at all. We arrived and our room had no water. Shower, sink, toilet did not work. Tried to call the front desk- the phone didn't work. Had to go back to the lobby to find help. Maintenance was sent but unfortunately the man did not speak English.... Well that's great. Finally get the water working but it's only scorching hot. Had to pack up belongings and move to a new room. Which was pretty much 4 walls and a bathroom. Worst hotel experience, ever.

Nice place for relaxation.

Upon arrival I was informed that the hotel would be closing for renovations in two weeks. Although the need for upgrades was evident, it still was not bad. A plus was having a pool at the hotel and the team worked to provide good service in spite of everything.

Close to the beach.

The room was dirty. Iron stain on the rug. Was afraid to walk barefoot. There was hair on the bed. The room smelled. The tub was a bit dirty. Noises coming from the bathroom. It was the water running. We tried shutting but it would just continue to run and make a screatching sound.

Yuck but walking distance from everything

We arrived at the hotel early. The staff at the front desk said we were able to park in the lot complimentary. Well when i checked out I found out that wasn't true! The man at the front desk charged me despite my telling him what happened the first day...AND he was rude about it. The hotel did not seem clean to me. If you are looking for a comfortable vacation room, stay away! If you are looking for something that is walking distance from basically anything worth going to in South Beach....I would still look elsewhere!

Don't do it

I had a horrible experience at the Carlton. My reservation was canceled without my knowledge the day before my trip and the manager was not helpful at all. When I tried to book again for the same dates they said they could not accomodate my stay for the entire time. The room was very small, and the rate that they charge is not worth the accomdation. I am extremely displeased with my stay.

Close to beach, but not the best at all

I would not recommend thsi hotel at all. The staff was nice, but the room service and bed was lousy. Ex: I stayed fro 4/18-4/212015, I had to remind staff daily for room to be cleaned, when cleaned towels was always a problem, no microwave on premises, no internet, there was an MP3 player and the ipod dock did not work, but yet they charge a resort fee? for what? The bed sinked in the middle sooo bad I could not take it. I understand it is a historic hotel but a lot of the other hotel in the area has did updates and seem a lot nicer and yet the same price and a bit cheaper. Dont let the look of the lobby fool ya like it did me... The look of the room on the their website looks nice but the actual room is a mess.... If you decide to pick this hotel, I hope your stay is better then mind.

Alright

I got what I expected for the money I payed. It wasn't anything luxorious but the room was clean and spacious. The hotel is very close to the beach and even closer to all the restaurants, bars and shops. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who can't handle the noise of the Miami night life though. The hotel staff could be more friendly and helpful....
