    We went for the weekend of Memorial Day, the room was very clean and very quiet, the staff was very friendly and very helpful, I love that they provided towels for the beach and chairs, the bar was very nice, the air in the room was nice and cool, I highly recommend, one thing I would like to tell the hotel they should put bars for the wet clothes from the beach specially if you got with for than 2, other than that I would stay again there.

    Very old hotel with super gross old stained carpet in the halls and a musty smell throughout. Bathroom was pretty rough. You def don’t want to touch anything. No pool or gym on property and attracts a wild crowd… very noisy at night with rowdy guests. Front desk staff were so nice tho, and housekeeping was sweet. Bar at the front of house is never open and give an abandoned feel to the place.

    Location was great! lots of things to do and in walking distance. Hotel itself was not it!!!! We had to change rooms from the first floor to the 3rd because there were so many moths and mosquitos getting in our room from the giant gap at the bottom of the hotel door. It also didn’t help that the hotel leaves the lobby doors wide open for bugs to enter. It was awful the room itself was dirty as well! The floors, the walls, the bathroom just didn’t feel or look clean whatsoever. I felt so uncomfortable sleeping. One night I was so itchy and paranoid from all the bugs I didn’t sleep until almost 4am. Very horrible hotel, you couldn’t pay me to stay here again.

    Didn’t see the bar open. Coffee across the street. Just get a Keurig! Bed was tilted. My head was lower than my feet. Room flooded. Room was super humid. Like the room fridge. AC worked. One unit. Loud. Doors in hall close loudly and wake you. Use the bar for coffee and breakfast would be better use in the AM.

    Well located one block from airport bus and beach. Many eating places around. Close to free shuttle. The young girl on the front desk was lovely. We used their beach towels to go the beach. We didn’t partake of the morning coffee across the road but did walk to the free happy hour first day. A long walk for a sweet cocktail (endless) but a nice touch. Room was spotless and comfortable. Nothing

    Location in South Beach was convenient Room had a chemical smell, very humid, bed was not comfortable, bathroom was small, but hotel was very stingy with towels. We were only given two small bath towels. The window unit AC was loud and the room was extremely damp and humid. I was not expecting a 5 star resort, but it was definitely not a 3 star hotel. Amenities were limited, limited ice, and water options. The key card reader was difficult to use and required 5-7 swipes each time I wanted to access the room.

    The room #105 without ventilation, no windows, all closed. The only way to ventilate is using noisy wall-mounted air conditioner. The room is near lobby and bar, noisy is constant up 2-3AM. The room gave me allergie, congestion. We are elderly people with 5 suitcases, it's impossible to climb the narrow stairs to the second floors then you must go to room #105 at ground floor. Breakfast is just a free cup of coffee at another location and you cannot get a complete breakfast. They have a bar at another location. They have a pool 8 blocks away!. All services are in other location!!!

    -Excellent location -Very friendly and helpful staff -Clean rooms -Well-equipped with AC, safe box, hairdryer, etc. -Beach towels and beach chairs provided Cons: -Very strong air freshener smell throughout the lobby and room, which makes breathing uncomfortable -Some bed sheets are old and noticeably darker than others -When the temperature drops at night (below 19 °C), turning on the heater produces a very unpleasant, unbearable odor -Ongoing construction next door; workers and loud construction noise start as early as 6:00 AM, which can significantly disturb your stay -The cleaning equipment storage rooms are located right next to the guest rooms, so staff going in and out in the morning creates noticeable noise that can be clearly heard inside the rooms.

    Had to walk to another property for coffee, yet another property for pool. There was a daily reception at a site 1 mile from hotel. Limited beach chair- mostly gone by early morning.very small room with no microwave, coffee machine. Very pricey with little amenities. Definitely stay away from this property.

    Best thing about this property is the location. It’s in the middle of south beach and 2 blocks from the beach. Lots of stuff around. The property itself is old and not too clean. Lots of bugs in my shower, hallway carpets stained and dirty, lots of dust and little bentos in the room. Morning staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Night staff was not very friendly. They also failed to mention to me at check in that they lock the front door and you need a code to get access after hours. I would say book this place only if you are on a tight budget.

    CONS: Add $35+ per night resort fee (they don’t tell you till you check in then it’s too late. For what? I don’t know they don’t have a pool or anything- they say for wifi (lol) everyone has wifi and for towels … it’s just wrong. They say they have a sister hotel pool but it’s like super far away need to take uber to get there didn’t go better to just walk to beach. The carpet in stairs in old and dirty and no elevator so you will need to haul your luggage up 3 + flights of stairs , got a double bed room the mattress are sinking on each side on both mattress I don’t even want to see what they look like and how much DNA is prob soaked up in them .. I got bit by little bugs not sure what they are but even though I’ll mention some pros I won’t stay here again it’s just not worth it spend a tiny bit more and get a better hotel. PROs : Location is nice , near Beach and 7-11 and the cleaning ladies are nice : front staff are ok . That’s about it . They will write a response to this as we are sad or we are sorry it’s bull s()it they aren’t sorry they cut and paste it they aren’t going to fix anything t GET RID of the Resort FEE if you are sorry or sad about my comment . Your Hotel is no resort has nothing with the $35+ per night you are just robbing people greed will be your downfall . PASS on this HOTEL

    This was a great hotel for nights around a cruise for anyone wanting to stay in South Beach. It was quaint and comfortable, and we could walk to many wonderful restaurants and to the water. Be aware that there are no elevators or staff to help carry luggage to the higher floors. I would select to stay at a hotel near the airport with a free transport service to the cruise ship next trip, but I highly recommend the great experience of staying at the Shelley at least once!

    The only issue I had was at check-in. This site does not tell us about the resort fees. When I paid on this site, it says total taxes and fees. However, when we got there we had to pay an extra 30 or $33 a night for the resort fee which was not expected. It would also be great if they had an affiliation with whoever runs handing out free beach chairs. We got to the shack and they said they did not have a contract with hotel Shelly :-( but I'm still going to definitely stay here again, it was a perfect location and we loved our room. It was cozy

    Although the room itself was clean and in order, the door key apparatus was broken, resulting in numerous calls to the desk clerk to facilitate room entry. Hallway and stairway carpets throughout the hotel were stained and filthy. Elevator was not working, resulting in carrying baggage up and down three flights of stairs. This noisy hotel was in a very poor state of repair.

    The curtains had stains and the fridge didn’t work during our stay. There is no vent in the bathroom so it’s more susceptible to get stuffy and smelly and humid. The bed had a dip in it from constant use.

    We asked to speak to the manager, hoping to resolve the issue, but instead were met with outright hostility. The manager was shockingly disrespectful, didn’t even attempt to make any kind of agreement, and just walked away, saying — word for word — “Either you pay or get the f** out.”* I was in disbelief that any professional in hospitality could behave like that. The room itself was a joke: tiny, poorly maintained, and there was no hot water in the shower. On top of that, the hotel had no luggage storage, which is unacceptable for travelers needing even the most basic convenience. This place is a scam and a disgrace. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Stay far away!

The lady at the reception when I arrived was amazing, the rooms work well and the room and bed sheets were very clean. The location is perfect: on 9th, there's a little supermarket, a liquor store, Bonjour Café that offers really nice food and smoothies and it's right by a main entry to the beach with lots of volley ball sets and work out area (so fun and active). Pay more for what? I'll be going again.

    The wifi did not work in the room. I had to stand out in the hallway or go to the lobby to use wifi. Whole hotel needs to be updated. The bed frame had rips in it. The mirror in the bathroom was peeling up. Is not a pleasing place to stay. Only good thing was the location and that is all.

    The room was very clean and the amenities were very good. There was a mini bar and food in the room which was available to purchase, this was expensive and I would recommend walking 5 minutes to 7-Eleven and getting you drinks and food from there! The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The cleaning crew were also very helpful and made the hotel and rooms have a nice clean feel. The hotel is situated in the middle of Colins Ave, which had bustling restaurants and bars up and down. It is also a 2 minute walk to Ocean Drive with beautiful beaches, bars and restaurants. The hotel does not offer parking, but there is a reasonably priced car parking 5 minutes down the road! This hotel was perfect for me and my partner and was a perfect location for us to enjoy our holiday. Thanks for the stay!

    Its a nice place to stay more if you compare price with other hotels in the area. There are few things that i believe they can improve. For example, the shower didnt work properly but it works. I had the double bed ans trust me there is no room to leave your baggage. But overall ita a good place to stay.

    Overall my stay was great, if i could add anything I would say a bit better outdoor seating but you also have access to their sister hotel across the street which does have couches on their porch. Other than that i would give this place a 5/5 everything was very clean and the room was nice & safe!

    1. My room was right next to the bar which played very loud, bass-heavy music every night until 2am, making it difficult to fall asleep. 2. The bed was advertised as queen-size but it was in fact full-size (also known as double-size), which is smaller. 3. The hotel sent me an email telling me to check in at a nearby other hotel, but when I got to that other hotel, they told me the email was mistaken, so I had dragged my luggage around that extra bit for nothing.

Was sent a message to check in across street at Chesterfield, but when we tried that was told to go to Shelley instead. Asked about ordering food. Said was brochure in room for room service but there wasn’t one.

    Room was nice enough, check in process was a little hectic and the key cards for the room were a little bit iffy (had to replace mine). But overall it was the perfect room for what I needed it for. Staff inside the Shelley were very kind and understanding. Good privacy, and no overbearing staff getting in our business. I will probably be back at the Shelley when I come back to visit South Beach, Miami.

    As camas e o banho são ótimos. O quarto estava razoavelmente limpo. Mas o hotel não tem front desk e a porta sempre aberta o que causa insegurança. Completamente impossível falar com o pessoal que trabalha na front desk que fica em um prédio em frente pq ninguém atende o telefone e nem responde as mensagens de texto do número que eles disponibilizam. O quarto não tinha blecautes e a claridade nos fez acordar mais cedo do que o desejado. Os corredores so hotel são muito sujos.

    Very disappointed. first things first upon check-in there was only one lady there checking in for three buildings then she tried to charge me an extra $60. We only had one towel in the room when we got there. The rooms are really small. we ended up leaving a day early and I don’t think she ever checked us out because I have yet to receive a confirmation that I’ve been checked out. I do not want to be charged for a day that I did not stay there we left at 9 AM on Thursday. We were supposed to stay until Friday.

    My stay would’ve been perfect if I didn’t have to walk up & down 3 flights of stairs just to walk across the street to their sister hotel to talk with staff! They do not have a working telephone line in either hotels! So if you’re having an issue that is what you have to do! We stayed for a week with no TV! Staff claim it was the cable acting up but every channel had an infomercial all day :( ! Thank goodness we weren’t in the room much! The only pros were that they had a bar in the lobby which had really cool esthetics and a good vibe! Very close walking distance to the beach and Ocean Drive :) other than that I wouldn’t stay here!

She then ‘forgot’ to charge me a resort fee and went all the way up to my room to collect the $100. Very unorganized. We needed new towels, never got any. Had to keep reusing wet towels. Room in poor condition. Dusty food items and bathroom door wouldn’t close. People arguing in rooms next to us, felt ghetto. Oh and check in is weird and inconvenient. It’s across the street in a separate building a little confusing.

    I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my dog. It smells like piss from the moment you enter the hotel all the way to the room we had 215. The carpet look like it hasn't been cleaned since the hotel was built. The water in the shower wasn't hot. We couldn't our $ back. It taught me to make sure you check reviews before i pay for a hotel. OMG!! I had to wash all my clothes when we made it back home even the clean ones we didn't wear because of the smell.

Toilet clogged the second night. Informed desk clerk. Repair person came to room while grandson was in the shower and didn't return. Toilet not fixed until about noon the following day. Evening desk clerk very nice, polite, and helpful. Day clerk not so much. Blamed it on lack of coffee.

    The hotel is conveniently located close to the beach, bars, restaurants and transportation. Hotel was quiet and clean. The only downfall was we had no tv service but 1 channel and they charge you $171 for hotel fees which was crazy bc the hotel had no amenities. We had to check in at the sister hotel across the street, along with getting towels and ice for the beach. Aside from this downfall we enjoyed our stay and wouldnt mind staying there again.

    On arrival there was only one receptionist for two hotels. Housekeeping doesn't clean the room daily,nor check if you want clean towels or remove trash. Their lobby has a small bar and have music blasting till 3 am. There is NO direct number to the front desk or reception. You call their customer service and no one picks up the phone, it is a loop of computerize menu, and when you choose to speak to an agent, no one picks up. Their customer service doesnt exist. Is this place a deal to stay there, I say NO! I've stayed in a different hotel chain two blocks away, without hidden fees, or extra taxes to be paid on arrival, and have better customer service.

    Over all they can do BETTER. Why do the guest have to go across the street for ice. How difficult can it be to place a ice box in the shelley building?? Must travel a mile to the available pool. Wish they would let open the bathroom window. Since there is no ventilation. Also the bathroom had a funky stank. Not dirty but a deep rooted smell. Finally the shower drain is placed in the middle so the water pools in the front of the shower. Wonder what genius thought of that. Over all they can do BETTER.
