They offered earplugs when first checking into the hotel. Need I say more.

This would be an awesome place to stay if I was in my 20's ready to party all night long and sleep all morning. The loud music till the early a.m. could have been tolerable....(na really wasn't)....but people constantly partying in their rooms, slamming doors, being loud in the hallways made for little sleep even the little I tried to get returning at 2 am.

Rooms smaller than my dorm room in the 90's, but clean. Bed comfortable but you won't sleep anyway. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Recommend this hotel only if you want to party non-stop.

Where to begin.... I was only staying in Miami one night as i was heading down to the Keys the next day to meet friends and family and i wanted to get the most fun out of my one night in South Beach. Wow, I couldnt have made a better choice! From stepping out of the car i was welcomed by everyone i came across. Front staff was perfect and checked me in quicky. This hotel is classic miami beach art deco but is completly renovated and seems new. Entering my room i wasnt prepared for how nice the rooms were done. very chic. Flat screen tv , 300 thread count sheets and the most comfortable beds ever. Luxurious bathroom with rain shower glass enclosed. My room was a pool view overlooking the party going on downstairs. I changed and headed down and got a drink and instantly started making friends as everyone was so friendly. Food was good as well, had dinner by the pool and then room service for breakfast, both were great! By 11pm i found myself watching a booty shaking contest at the stage in the pool area. Keep in mind this was during spring break. I suddenly noticed that the entire pool area had somewhat turned into a night club and there was even a line to get in off the street! ha. There must have been 500-1,000 people in the pool area all partying. It was so Miami. All in all a great night. If you are under 35 or so you will LOVE this hotel! Yes, I heard music in my room most of the time, so if you want quiet do not stay here! If you are not into partying until early morning and having the time of your life then stay somewhere else! This is THE SPOT on Ocean Dr. I had the time of my life and cant wait to get back in June with my friends! Thanks Clevelander!

Made a reservation 2 months ago for our daughter and 5 of her college friends from TX to spend a week here for Spring Break. Upon arrival, our daughter (21 in June) was told that she and 2 of her friends could not stay at the hotel since they were not 21 yet even though 3 of the other girls were 21. None of this was revealed to us during the lengthy reservation process. The Front Desk staff handled it all VERY poorly and harrassed our daughter about their reservation. The hotel then had the gall to inform our daughter that she would still be charged $400 for the first night of the reservation!!

As we appreciatte your feedback, we would like to clarify that the Clevelander Hotel is for adults over 21 years of age only. This information is posted in our website, is mentioned during the reservation process and is also printed in the confirmation letter. We are also very careful on checking Id's upon registering at the Front Desk. We are fortunate to have a sister hotel, the Essex House Hotel & Lounge, were we gladly accommodated your daughter and her friends for the entire stay.
Once again, we appreciatte your feedback!

Right from walking in the front door, the lobby was well done and clean, the front desk woman was courteous and helpful, and a bellman handed me a fruit drink as I checked in. The room was perffectly clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the room darkening shades helped to sleep a bit later in the morning. ALthough the younger people partied until around 3:00 AM the room was quiet enough to sleep. Definatley not a quiet hotel, but alot of fun!

Super friendly and easy check-in experience. Upon arrival we magically had complimentary drinks in our hands. They were sticky sweet blended something, but I appreciate the gesture and it did kind of get us in that "I'm in Miami, let's get the party started" kinda mood. We were allowed to check in early which was great because we could soak up as much sun as possible at the hotel's rooftop and pool areas.

On a tip from other reviews, we did not fall for the special pricing on Pool View rooms and it was well worth our money to upgrade to Ocean View. The Pool View would put you so close to the pounding club music (open til 5am mind you) that you would be forced to stay up and party until that time because there would be no sleep to be had. We came here knowing it was a party spot, but I'm on more of a passing out by 2am schedule. That's just me...

That said, we could still hear the music in our Ocean View room! So I can only imagine what the people in rooms closer to the pool side were hearing. It was a managable volume though. Our view was pretty nice, however across the street from the hotel is a park, then the beach. So the water is actually a bit farther away than I expected. I don't know why I was put in a room with 2 double beds instead of one queen/king. My boyfriend is 6'3" and the bed was just way too small for us, but other than that the room was bright and clean and well put together. Totally beach appropriate with white linens and blue and sand colored accents.

The C-Level rooftop deck was my favorite area. It was a little smaller than I hoped, but there were plenty of cabanas and lounge chairs, a nice water feature, and a fabulous view. Maybe this was because we were there on a Thursday, but there was no bar open up there! We ended up walking down to the main pool bar area to get drinks and then taking them back up with us. Most likely a blessing in disguise since 2 mojitos set us back $24 so having limited bar access limited the money going down the drain.

The second rooftop area, SPF4, was a total letdown. It was tiny and there was just nothing to really keep you there. Looks much nicer in pictures.

The main pool area was kind of dirty and didn't attract me (other than to grab drinks). The pool is pretty much a waste of space since they just cover it up with a stage for spring break style activities (when we headed out for dinner it was set up with beer pong tables, when we returned late at night it was the dance floor). All the lounge chairs you'd expect around a pool are only found in the rooftop areas, the pool area is really just the bar and restaurant.

The restaurant didn't really suck us in either, we ventured out to find something more interesting and were happy we did.

I think overall for the price and location it's a good stop on a Miami trip as long as you're aware of the spring break vibe. The other places that we liked more we couldn't have afforded, so it worked out just fine.
