Great service, really a 5 star experience!!! Light rooms, clean. We stayed with 5 people in a classic suite, sofa bed could be better. Super bathroom, our daughters loved the tv inside the bathroom mirror. Hotel is on the best spot of Ocean Drive, opposite off the retro Starbucks. Only 2 minutes walk to the beach where beds are waiting.... More

Came here to get propose and we had a fantastic weekend. The room felt like I was at home with warm wooden floors and the typical Miami white decor. Everyone at the hotel was exceedingly helpful and friendly. Beautiful view from the rooftop, great lobby lounge and outdoor seating if you want to just grab a drink. Also fantastic location-wise....

Good location on Ocean Drive as it's at the north end so slightly more "quiet" than right in the middle. Rooms seem to have thin ceilings as we could pretty much hear every coming and going as the people above us. TV's should have a volume limit as we could perfectly hear the blaring one from the room next to... More

We stayed at The Betsy in a Superior pool view room for three nights in April and would highly recommend this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and pleasant which added to our stay. Do have a cocktail at the rooftop bar. This hotel is at the "quieter" end of Ocean View and the lovely beach is just across the... More

We chose TheBetsy for our stay at South Beach based on the fact it is a member of the SLH (small luxury hotels) group. We have stayed at a few of these around the world and have always been impressed with the decor, ambiance and service. They must have very strict criteria for hotels to become a member, because they... More

We spent three nights at The Betsy in April 2013 and in general we liked it, but: (1) you don't really get much with the Ocean view and it maybe a little bit noisy; (2) why the air-conditioning almost always (in many hotels) is directed at the bed?? Besides, it was not always working as it was supposed to (it... More

I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times now. While the rooms are typically small for a hotel of this vintage, it has been updated and brought current in a very fun and hip way. It is in a great location in the heart of South Beach with wonderful restaurant and bar. I especially enjoyed eating al fresco on... More

I spent months talking to the reservation people planning my birthday celebration for myself and several family members & friends. I found communication, while seemingly pleasant, they were not able to meet or follow through with even the smallest of requests. Communication between the staff and computers was dismal. Room pricing was inconsistant. Upon returning home I supplied them with... More
