I guess it's all about expectations. Considering I've been coming with to South Beach for several years and staying in sub-$200/night rooms in the 2-3 star class, I knew what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and freshly remodeled the rooms were upon arrival. We were upgraded to an ocean-front room and had a blast. I even... more

Rigth on Ocean Drive is fun, but they have to pay more attention to there customers. We stayed more than a week, but never felt recogniced by the staff. Had to ask for towels and cleaning. We ate a couple of times in the resaturant, but half an hour later the "attacked" you with the menu again, like you were... more

Spent 2 nights here in November 08. Aside from the excellent location of this hotel we were not at all impressed. The room was shabby, even though it had been redecorated. The beds were almost on the floor and were surrounded by a black wooden plinth upon which both my wife and myself almost broke our ankles on more than... more

The service at the restaurant was poor and slow. They boast of a 50% discount off the dinner menu but when we were seated, we were told that only SELECTED items were 50% off unlike the other restaurants along Ocean Drive (which boast of the same promotion but applied the promotion to the entire dinner menu). Note the small print... more

I've been in many SoBe hotels but this one was excellent and right in the middle of South Beach. There are clean robes and flat screen TV in every room. However, do not expect luxury. All hotels by Ocean Dr and Collins are old, art deco style and that's their beauty. The style is more important here than anywhere else.... more

We did not go to the Colony with overly high expectations that it would be comparable to a 5 star luxury hotel, but we went to stay in a fun, authentic, real art deco hotel, right in the heart of what's HOT in South Beach, and it much more than delivered... the rooms were modern, and comfortable, with an atmosphere... more

Other than the location being right on Ocean Drive and in the heart of South Beach, the hotel is awful. The beds are a complete joke. We stayed in a double and the beds are practically on the floor. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been clean. The bath towels, as someone mentioned before, are thin and feel like hand... more

The colony hotel was a great place to stay, me and my husband stayed there for one night before going on our honeymoon cruise. The place is great, nice and clean rooms, just steps away from the beach and very friendly staff, we booked another night when we come back from our cruise. I will make sure to let all... more

The Colony hotel couldnt not have been in a better location! Its right in the middle of all the action in Miami South Beach. Its right across the street from the beach and only a short walking distance to a huge selection of restaurant and even a short walk from Lincoln Road and a spanish village, both of which are... more
