    Love this place
    We truly enjoyed our stay at the Lord Balfour. A nice European atmosphere in an unmistakebly miami setting. Nice (small pool) great shower, great bed and courteous and relaxed staff. Breakfast is simple but good. We’ll be back!

    Excellent for the Price
    I had originally planned to stay at the Marriott, but this place was about 50 bucks a night less and got very good reviews on Trip Advisor - and when my skin-flint wife found out about it, there was no changing her mind: We had to stay at the Lord Balfour. This hotel has an…

    Reoccurring charges
    Great hotel and location stayed here twice before. After my last stay I keep getting charged 16.10 USD to my credit card I called queried and was promised it would be reversed but it has popped up again on my credit card statement. Why is this happening? Is this fraud? Is it…

    Breakfast included
    Not the swankiest place in town but nice enough. The rooms were clean and well maintained for an older hotel and the location is great. Close to the beach and within walking distance of lots of bars and restaurants. The pool is quite small and is not exactly a sun seekers…

    Great hotel for rest
    I stayed at their Waldorf Hotel before but prefer this one mainly for its quieter location! Also, hotel has small pool and a gym. Great staff as always! It's a really great place to have a full rest after busy days . Will be back!

    We're arriving early morning coming from a cruise. Is there a luggage storage room where we can safely leave our luggage until availability of the room?
    I would imagine they would hold luggage. We arrived early too but our room was available. We stayed the day prior to our cruise. They are so nice and accommodating there. If you are looking for breakfast or lunch, you can walk to the Big Pink. It was really good and a safe walk. Have fun.

    How much is parking?
    Parking through the hotel is $35 per day, this includes as many in and outs as you wish. Alternatively parking in a parking lot is $20 per 24 hours, but there are no in and outs. I used the hotel parking, which was no problem at all and would recommend if you are going to use your car on a daily basis. If you are just going to park your car up and not use it, a local parking lot may be a better idea. Hope this helps and have fun.

    "ask for rooms away from the beach view if you want something quieter, and away from the elevator too"
    "Both times back side corner rooms had been quiet."
    "Definitely ask if there are rooms with "decent" sized bathrooms. I stand 5'7" and was hitting my elbows on the walls!"
    "Double room with an ocean view"
    "We overlooked Ocean Dr from a corner room (310). No problem with noise."
