    As of June 2026, the property appears to be undergoing some extensive remodeling, but the noise and ongoing work did not affect our stay in any way. My partner and I enjoyed our stay and found the rooms to be modern and comfortable. The only thing I’d note is that, although the cleaning team came by every day, the bathrooms could use a more thorough deep clean.

    Location was excellent and the staff extremely nice and professional the carpet in the room, as I0'm allergic the first nighht I've asked if there were room with no carpet, they told me that all rooms has the carpet in and offered a deep clean on the next day. After the deep clean I had no problem but I do believe that they should do a deep cleann everytime they change clients in the room and better get rid of the carpet

    My main complaint is that the hotel regularly hosts private events at the pool without providing advance notice to guests prior to booking. During these events, the pool is unavailable for guest use, which is disappointing when pool access/pool area is one of the amenities of the property. In addition, the parties can continue late into the night, creating significant noise that carries into the rooms and disrupts sleep. Better communication and consideration for hotel guests would greatly improve the overall experience.

    Overall we had a great stay at this hotel. I enjoy the smaller intimate layout, the large pool and patio area with bar, and easy access to the beach path. The one drawback from our visit was the fact that the gym was closed for renovation. They were providing day passes to a nearby gym, but that was not super convenient, and also the gym did not have towels or self locking lockers (you needed to have a lock) so for the average hotel guest those are inconveniences.

    Also note this is not “oceanfront” it is a hike to the beach going past the hotel and restroom facilities, across a bike/walking path and down another walking trail. For the condition it is in the price should be one fourth what it was. I wish I could attach photos to show the neglect and tattered condition of everything even the towels were stained and torn.

    Bathroom could have been more cleaner. Hotel rooms are dated. Had to take the stairs 1 level up without any help. My refrigerator stopped working and the replacement was too big to fit in its place so it was onscreen outside near the bed l. Room was dark and gloomy no sunlight able to come in because it was facing another building.

    I having been going to this hotel for the last 10 years. The customer service is fantastic and the location is excellent! My family grew up over the years, swimming in the pool and eventually sharing a drink with us. There has been a recent renovation to the outdoor bar area, and it’s a great place to take a break from the sun and have a drink and lunch!! Can’t wait to go again.

    The hotel location is in the heart of Collins Ave, South Beach where all the high end restaurants, bars and hotels are located. Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road is just 10-20 min walk with the beach right on the doorstep of the hotel. The bed was very comfortable and despite the Miami Music Week pool parties I managed to get some quality sleep. Very poor facilities with an outdated room, small shower and very little space to put your clothes. Unfortunately did not get to the pool as it was taken over by the spring breakers during my stay. For the price point this hotel is extortionate for the quality and standard you are getting but the cost is for staying in one of the best locations in South Beach.

    They were supposed to give us breakfast vouchers . When asked they said no booking is not with breakfast . And after all that drama they said 50 dollar credit for each day. And the last day while checking out they said u should have given the vouchers. Spent 5000 dollars and stayed for 6 days in a small tiny room. And the reception staff was clearly not helpful and treats guests differently from greeting to helping. And I am never going back here again would rather go to an air bnb. Staff is rude and clueless and tries to blame the other staff for not giving vouchers and extremely racist and rude ti say the least

    The staff is phenomenal, from the front desk to the staff on the beach, but the rooms are very outdated. The closet has a musty curtain instead of a sliding door and the washroom door looks like it’s from the 70s. The room always smells musty

    Where do I start. On arrival to the hotel, we were met by the valet guys, Ive had previous issues on mulitple occasions where valet guys damage my car. For this reason I will never let any valet worker drive nay of my cars. I was met with resistance when telling them I will be 5mins to drop off my bags and I will move it. I parked the car where they requested but was laugh at for not trusting them. When entering the hotel, it was very busy and noisy in reception, although the décor was very nice and also very clean. Our room was on the third floor, but the main lift was out of action. We had to walk up a flight of stairs, down a long tired looking corridor with a strong smell of marijuana (dont forget this is a family hotel!) then up a very tired lift where it took us a while to find our room due to a very odd numbering system which makes no sense. Our room was clean and tidy but nothing special. We paid extra for a garden view. This was a window facing a building, but apparently because there were some plants in view, its a garden food. Go figure!? I feel the same window on the ground floor may look much nicer. Our room had very old single glazing windows which were very hard to operate and poor for sound proofing. The poor/bar area (which is the entirety of the outdoor area) was booked out for a private party and we were denied access to outdoors, this was a noisy party and there was no prior warning the amenities were unavailable TEXT LIMIT MET

    The location is great. close to great coffee shops and restaurants and right on the beach. It is recently updated and the restaurant is great. They have complementary coffee and happy hour drinks. The pool is way too busy. They play very loud music at the pool so it is not very relaxing. You struggle to find a sun lounger. It is very busy and on both nights we had noisy people int he room next to us.

Didn't seem to bother most people, but was definitely not what I had in mind when I think about relaxing by the pool! That being said, the beach was perfect. Always beach chairs available. Food service took a while, but it was just one hard working guy doing it all!

    The rooms for the price were ridiculous, honestly. The rooms are outdated, and the paint and tile work in the bathrooms look really bad. The amenities spaces look great.

    What a ripoff for $800 a day rundown room furniture, terrible pillows, no occasional chairs in the room to relax, just one desk chair. Old dirty windows with mold. Smallest bathroom of any hotel room and our room was supposed to be premium and most expensive room this run down hotel has and on top of that they charge resort fee, this was worse than MOTEL 6, what audacity to Call it a resort. I even talked to the manager she did listen attentively to all the issues mentioned above but there was no apology or reimbursement of any kind of all the discomfort and inconvenience.

    Rooms are extremely small/outdated and it’s an old outdated building. Even the bathroom, no counter space to put your makeup bag. No coffee maker in the room, you have to request one which was an inconvenience. Give it 2 stars. Can easily tell by the hallway that it’s a very old building. Also valet took over 30 minutes to 1 hour to wait for our car. Save yourself money and valet else where the car. We waited almost an hour several times. Staff was super nice and friendly except for the issue with valet and getting the car. We were not the only ones waiting, there were 4 other guest waiting for their car. Food was excellent - give that a 5 star - ate several times at the hotel, it didn’t disappoint. Outdoor ambiance was neat and next to board walk/beach. They do have a cute courtyard. Just wished their rooms were bigger so not sure I would stay here for no more than a day if I needed a place to stay.

    The air freshener in the lobby is waaay too strong and overpowering. If you have allergies or asthma it is difficult to endure. Air conditioner is very loud when it kicks on at night. The doors slam loud so you other dorrs slamming shut late at night and early in the morning. They have construction next door and if you use the pool, you listen to the drilling and construction sounds. The pool water gets really warm. The beach is nice and tge beach chairs are more comfortable than at the pool. The hotel has a good location.

    So many things were not up to scratch on our trip to Kimpton we left a day early. If your experience of Kimpton in the UK is their top class, amazing hotels in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London …. you WILL NOT get that experience here. Firstly, location is fantastic in Miami Beach and the valet parking guys do a brilliant job so if that is your priority, go for it. However, room was old and tired, no view despite paying extra for a garden room, $30 extra for an umbrella despite paying mega $ in resort fees every day on top of the room rate, flimsy plastic glasses at the much vaunted free 4pm happy hour (I’ve been given better glasses at the dentist to wash out with), significant renovations going on in the pool area with no prior warning (portaloos and workmen everywhere) DEFEANING music volume at the pool (we are not shrinking violets but you could still hear it 400 yards away on Miami Beach) … could go on and on … staff were great (mostly) in trying to sort out or concerns, without their interventions and kind words, not sure we’d have stayed the 3 nights we ended up sticking it out for … not the experience we had expected from Kimpton (we stayed in 4 hotels on our USA trip and this one was by a distance the worst)

    The staff were extremely friendly and the room was really nice. The pool area was beautiful and sqt right on the beautiful beach. I would say the only drawback was I received an extra charge when we showed up to the hotel, $600 and I wasn't sure why. Also, they provided beach chairs and towels which was great but you pay for the umbrella daily. Overall though a great location!

    I've stayed here 3-4 previous times. Great location, nice bar. This time the experience was not good on 3+ accounts: The gym was closed and under renovation. They do have a reciprocal use of a gym about 10m walk, unfortunately it was in the high 40's and super windy. There is no coffee machine in the room. They did offer to bring one, the lobby coffee is a nice touch but not available until 7am. They were replacing hallway carpet, which required to walk around the property outside and back into the lobby. Finally, they have no heat. Not normally required in Miami, but it was in the 40's and 50's. Turning on the heat actually lowered the room temperature. Gonna take a break on this place for a while.

    The price was right, which keeps the review rating right, but the hotel is under various sorts of construction. It would have been nice if i was notified by the hotel when i booked the stay. It may had informed my decision to find an alternative property. Areas under construction include the lobby main elevator and pool side cabanas. It ended up being very loud on Thursday & Friday poolside.

    The Hotel was in a superb location, within walking distance of Many hotspots and Ocean Drive. Clean with good amenities and an excellent vibe around the pool. Great access to the beach with lots of beds and towels provided the whole time. Great touch with the complimentary morning coffee and evening glass of wine.

    Accommodations are adequate for the price point. The rooms are decently appointed some minor deferments, but all n all pretty fair.! The corridors and elevators could use upgrading, but that’s pretty typical for a Miami Beach property of this age

    This hotel did not meet up to my normal Kimpton standards. The valet circle out front was laughable, backed up down block and when we finally worked our way up, the valet attendant yelled to us from the door that it was raining and we should just leave the car. Then they wouldn’t take my Tesla anyway bc they didn’t want to drive it in valet mode like every other place on the planet. I wound up parking at a general lot for only $20 for 24 hours, which was as a much better deal anyway. No baggage help offered. Check-in was fine, but the rooms are shabby and need an update. The restaurant wait staff were not what I would call motivated humans. I had to ask for coffee numerous times at breakfast and when we told the waiter the coffee was cold he was annoyed. DJ at the pool and multiple birthday parties in the cabanas. If we could do it over we would have stayed at the Ritz for just a bit more.

    Don't miss out on the afternoon hors d'oevres and wine/local beer sampling either. The pool was clean and if you forget your sun lotion they have a complimentary Sun Bum lotion station at the pool area. Beach is steps away from the pool. Will be staying at the Kimpton Surfcomber on our next stay in Miami! Also a great hotel to stay at if you are embarking on a cruise (as we had). Thank you to Maxena and the rest of the staff for their smiles and service!

The pool was dirty, the water temp was HOT, never a cool off. The pools temperature never changed besides being hot and dirty. You’ve great common areas. Great pool view, beautiful hotel lobby. The decor, amenities and appearances sold this hotel to me. Keep in mind their resort fee plus a $600 deposit for each room.

The decor, pool area w/live DJ, waiter staff, and beach a few feet away made us feel like we were on a resort in the carribean islands! Not to mention the plethora of restaurants & shops i the area. We decided against renting a car & never needed to rent a cab. Everything was walking distance away. But if you do venture out the trolleys, buses & cabs are right there.

    Beautiful resort! We loved our stay at this hotel. The pool was lovely and warm. Great for swimming. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The food at the restaurants was delicious, drinks were great, overall it was an amazing experience. If I had to complain about one thing it would be the housekeeping. We had plenty of time out of our room when they could have come to clean and did not. We had to request that they come each time for them to come take out trash, vacuum sand, give us fresh towels, etc. On the last day/night we were there they did not clean our room at all. I feel like they need to do better in this area. When we did have our room cleaned they did a good job, but I shouldn't have to ask in order for it to get done.

    Because I booked with Expedia, they wouldn’t allow us to do late check-out. Which, I get policy, but we are staying for one night and needed an extra hour. Super inconvenient and had I known I would’ve chosen to book thru their website. When we got to room the carpet in the room was wet. Like soaking. Obviously it had been cleaned but who wants to walk on squishy carpet. Our socks were wet and we had to put towels down to walk ourselves right down to the front desk. We were given a room on the floor below and the same thing was happening there. But they were more damp than soaking and we are exhausted. $150 in room service later…this will be the last time the Surfcomber gets me for $500 a night. Such a shame. This place was once so great. The Social Club is fabulous. The staff and servers are great. Juan at the front desk is a gem. Stay somewhere else…lots of other options in Miami.

    We stayed here for our babymoon during the week and it was great how accommodating they were throughout the week. The staff was kind and the property was exactly what we were looking for, relaxing and unique. The rooms were smaller and the bathroom wasn’t the cleanest it could have been, but we were barely in there so it wasn’t too important to us! The air conditioning in the room was the one thing that took days to get our room to a comfortable temperature. By the time we left, it finally was at the temperature we set it to when we arrived. Overall, great stay with quality amenities and location.

    Cleaning personal was marching into our room without knocking multiple times, staff was not attentive (when I asked a girl serving towels by the pool where could I rinse my feet from sand after spending morning at the beach she said "honey, how would I know?"). By 9 am there were no lounge chairs available by the pool. Overall not what I expected for the price and location - and I stayed in multiple IHG group hotels before - would stay at different hotel next time.

    We had no idea it was Ultra Weekend, and the city was absolutely packed, but Juan worked his magic and was able to accommodate an early check-in for us. Not only that, but he also provided us with waters and made sure we felt truly taken care of. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail rival even the service we’ve experienced at high-end hotels like the Ritz-Carlton. Juan, you set the bar incredibly high! We sincerely hope your outstanding service gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you for making our stay exceptional we will definitely be back!

    The hotel has a beautiful lobby and restaurant and pool area. The rooms are small and outdated but not terrible. As a family I might not stay here because there are nicer, roomier places. But for this girls trip it was great. Location is perfect, close to plenty of restaurants and beachfront. It was at 17th and Collins so just a few blocks north of a busier area so it was nice to be cover but not on top of the noisier area.

    The property did not meet the level of cleanliness expected based on the listing. One of the main reasons for choosing the hotel was the pool, but the pool was closed to all guests after 4pm on a Saturday, there was no prior notice at the time of booking nor when I checked in. Lastly, we had reserved a poolside cabana and there was inadequate staffing. We had a minimum spend, there was not enough staff to accommodate the needs at the pool and we were completely neglected. Also, the food service was cut even shorter than the pool, no food past 2pm. Everything I chose the hotel for was completely the opposite of what I received.
