    Dirty socks from previous guest
    Lauren S.

    We chose this hotel for our trip back down to SoFL for the Winter Classic game. It was not super close to the venue but it appeared to better fit what we wanted. We arrived around 8pm and it was busy with traffic coming in and also leaving the hotel. Valet took a little long but they were busy. I went in separate than my husband, while he took care of the car. Upon entering, I was greeted by very friendly and enthusiastic staff, who escorted me to the elevator. They were probably my favorite encounter at this hotel. Once I reached the lobby, I then had to take another elevator, further away from the reception desk. I finally made it up to the room and was pleased with the room. It was spacious enough, with floor to ceiling windows. There was also a refrigerator, which is always a plus for me so I can store my insulin. The bathroom was tiny but sufficient. We went downstairs to use our credit at the bar. We later attempted to order a drink I guess after they closed and were shot down. I had to purchase flip flops due to hubs taking mine out of the suitcase before we left home. Whoever was working at the gift shop was just as good as a mannequin. She was on her phone and didn't say 1 word to me. We slept okay throughout the night but the air conditioning was not cold enough. The views were great from the windows but then I noticed a previous guest's dirty socks still sitting next to the window. I guess that means housekeeping didn't vacuum in between guests. We ordered room service for breakfast to use our credits because we did not want a repeat of the previous night at the bar. The food was good and was hot when delivered. Obtaining ride share was pretty easy and when checking out, valet delivered our car pretty quickly.

    SCW and I stayed at the Hilton Miami Downtown for a little getaway, and I needed to renew my passport (the US passport agency is right around the corner from the hotel). When we arrived a valet attendant took our car after we unloaded and gave us the card to retrieve the car. Once inside the bottom lobby you'll need to take the elevator up to check in. Check in was quick (you can also check in on your phone if you wish). I tried online check in, however the specific room chosen wasn't ready yet despite checking in after the check in time. The person at the front desk had no trouble getting us checked into the same type of room just different floor. The room itself was spacious and clean. We had windows on two sides of the corner room with a good view of the cruise ship terminal in Miami. The bed was comfortable and the shades did a good job of blocking out the light which I always appreciate. The room was quiet as well, but the hotel seemed lower occupancy that day. The gym was nice, while we exercised outside I did take a look at it and it had a good view and a decent amount of equipment. It was also clean. The only potential downside was the valet service. We only used this arriving and departing from the hotel, but we had about a 15 minute wait on departure. While we had nothing urgent to attend to it was a bit annoying. There seemed to be only two attendants and not many others checking out while we were. Just seemed a bit unorganized. Minus the star there. I'd certainly consider staying at Hilton Miami Downtown again.

    This was my first time staying at this Hilton Hotel and it was a great day. I was here for three days and two nights and had a great experience. The beds and pillows were so soft and I was easily ready to go to bed tonight. I was super hungry one of the nights in ordered room service. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and it costed me about $43 for everything but I was so hungry and just didn't care how much the price was. I do believe that it was super tasty and flavorful. Valet was about $45 per night and it was easy to get the car whenever we needed it and valet was super fast. I did like that. They didn't come every day to clean my room and would totally recommend to come back again.

    NEVER BOOK THRU A THIRD PARTY! I don't know what made me do it, but it gave me 2 queen beds for 1 night. I only booked this hotel because of the proximity to the cruise port! When we arrived, the lobby was a DISASTER! There were folks there from the NIGHT BEFORE THAT WERE STILL AWAITING ROOMS!?! When we came to sign in, we were like 25th on their list. We were told to hang out in the lobby until we were called. I'm not sure if it was b/c the government was shut down or what, but it was VERY CROWDED! We dealt with a guy at the desk that looked worn out! We waited about 30 minutes and inquired about our room and spoke to Val! Because of her customer service, I'm giving a TWO FOR SERVICE! The room we had was OLD and as soon as we walked in HOUSEKEEPING came knocking talking about did we want our room cleaned?! The room was clean and we just walked in! The restaurant in the hotel ADDS AN AUTOMATIC 18-20% GRATUITY, so we walked across the street to PUBLIX and got dinner and snacks for our cruise. The day of check out was a COMPLETE MESS! They had folks manning the elevators to get to street level. Then TAXIS/UBERS CANNOT COME TO THE DOOR OF THE HOTEL! So we had to walk down the block to get our Uber, but b/c of the elevator fiasco, the driver left to circle back. We're standing on the corner with our bags AND grocery items looking like REAL TOURISTS! Thank God no one robbed us! A taxi came to a red light and we flagged him down to get us to the cruise port. Would I stay here again??? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Is it convenient to the cruise port, sure as long as the port route stays open. I guess it closes at times to allow traffic to clear. I'm NOT a first time cruiser. However, even for an experienced cruiser like myself, you would get rattled. So, if you stay here, or anywhere in Miami, and you have a cruise, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO GET TO YOUR PORT!

    This hotel is right in the middle of downtown with so many food places within walking distance. The free train station is also just around the corner so it's easily accessible. When you enter, you're at the concierge level and every single concierge we encountered was so nice. They would call the elevator for you and you'd have an elevator immediately to the lobby. The lobby is open and gorgeous. There's a restaurant across from the front desk. Because I chose to do a digital key, I never had to stop at the desk. The room was very nice. It was on the corner and we had floor to ceiling windows with views of the water and downtown Miami.

    The room was very clean. Did a bedbug check as always and nothing concerning. The view was very pretty! The AC was super cold and super quick to respond to the thermostat. This was a huge plus for us. The bar restaurant in the lobby, 1601, had good food and a pretty good selection of options. Generally we enjoyed our stay, however there were a few things that were quite annoying. The toilets are very extremely slow to fill the tank after flushing in both rooms, so you couldn't flush again for 25 ish mins. We had to fill the back of the tank using a refillable water bottle. One of the rooms had a plugged toilet from before we came, we had to immediately call them to come plunge it. The water pressure in the shower was very low compared to what we are used to. When we first came, they took our bags on a cart and said they would be delivered to the room. He said "I will follow you up". We were left waiting 30 mins in our rooms wondering when the bags were coming up. On our next time out of the hotel we saw the storage room with carts of suitcases. I don't know why they wait so long to bring the bags. Usually people want to drop luggage in the room and go to dinner or pool right away. Elevators- it was so so busy! They are the smart elevator type. Multiple times we tried to call an elevator and they just said unavailable at this time. The pool closed around 9 which seemed really early, and we didn't make it there in time. But they do have a really cute outdoor area with seating and a neon sign on a grass wall. Something else to note is that breakfast is $30/person. We ran to Publix across the street and got breakfast stuff. That was super convenient. Overall would say our stay was fine, but there were a few things the staff could've done better and some building related improvements needed like elevators and toilet efficiency.

    The Hilton Miami Downtown was a good stay for one night before we got on our cruise. Our check in was fine (not the most efficient) but the representative was nice. The room was clean and was close to the port for the cruise ship. I am a loyal Hilton member and was semi impressed with this facility. While everything was fine, it wasn't the most glamorous and nicest. Seems to be overpriced for the room quality. The WiFi was pretty slow as well. Again, fine for a 1 night stay.

    The hotel lobby is nice and clean, however as you navigate to your room through the extremely dark hallways it is a little outdated. The room we stayed in could use some remodelling to match the lobby vibe. The restaurant and bar downstairs are a great touch. It's a good location for downtown Miami activities and events.

    Stayed here the night before a cruise. We moseyed down to the restaurant in the lobby after we got settled. It was a very easy check-in. There was a mini fridge in the room which was nice because I didn't finish my food and it ended up being dinner the next morning. The food was pretty good. We shared the Cuban. If you're going on a cruise, you better get there the day before. We booked the shuttle service to the port. There happened to be a crash in the tunnel, which serves the port and traffic was crazy. Our driver from the hotel knew his way in and around the streets and the traffic and was able to maneuver through all sorts of problems. He was extremely courteous, giving the praying hand signal to people to get himself into another lane. A fifteen minute transfer took an hour and a half. The shuttle was ten dollars pp...people that took an uber got out and walked because their drivers were not accustomed to a traffic jam and prob didn't drive to the port every day like our shuttle driver did.

    This was a great hotel to stay at! It's in a really convenient location, great views of the bay if you get a bay view window! They have a coffee bar, restaurant, bar, a nice pool area. Was a short ride from the airport and to/from the cruise port! I'd definitely stay again. We got $30 credit for being diamond members and we used it for morning coffee at the Starbucks.

    The Hilton Miami Downtown is a great place to stay if your trip is largely focused on the downtown area. I recently stayed there for a guys sports trip in which we attended Miami Heat and Miami Marlins home games. The hotel has a very modern feel and a relaxing pool area. Maybe, the front desk attendant, did a great job in taking care of a booking/checkin situation for me. The hotel is in a walkable area of the city and there is a Publix nearby for purchasing less expensive travel items as well as food and beverage. There is opportunity for the hotel to improve the actual room - they have more of a business feel and the carpet is outdated. Overall, for downtown destinations, this is a solid choice.

    Joyce P.

    Our room had a very nice view of the bay, but the room was old and a little smelly. We were only there one night, so we did not use much of their facilities. The Diamond benefit was $30 food credit and our nice view.

    I definitely recommend the Hilton Downtown Miami. Very lovely property that is close to the cruise terminal area. The entire staff are very warm, friendly, helpful. It's valet only parking, the valet are all wonderful, and help make your stay great! The rooms are immaculate, has a mini fridge which was great. Starbucks in the lobby was a bonus, the barista was very nice. This Starbucks does not have the various coffees you will find in your local Starbucks but they try to make your coffee as close as possible which was great. We tipped the valet, housekeeping, and Starbucks very well, and our stay was great, got the much needed rest before going on our vacation.

Walking distance to a Publix, the mall, bakery, etc. The hotel checkin is on the 6th floor, the first floor is mainly a seating area and concierge. They offer free hot breakfast, mini fridge and microwave in the room, cruise shuttle at time of this review is priced at $12 with pick up times at 10a, 11a, and 12p. If you miss breakfast, they had breakfast bags with fruit and other grab and go items. You will need your room key to access the laundry room and guest floors. There is no carpet in the room I was in (basic king- not the elite level) and pets are not allowed. Service animals only. The hotel has a lobby bar, three restaurants are located right next door (Sproutz, Batch Gastropub, and Shahs of Kabob). I dined at Sproutz and Shahas of Kabob and both are good, but they are not affiliated with the hotel. I stayed 3 nights prior to my cruise and I really enjoyed my stay. The air conditioner worked with no issues, pillows are very soft, bed was firm, but not uncomfortable and I slept better in that bed, than my own. There is a master light switch to control the overhead light in the entry and bathroom. You can operate them separately (it just takes some flipping of lights to figure it out). Decent water pressure and nice, hot water at night. Morning time I suggest getting your shower in early. Hot water is still present but not as hot as it was the night before. Tip- I took my shower at 5/6am the morning of checkout and the water was hot and perfect for a nice shower before leaving for cruise. Staff was always smiling, friendly and willing to assist. Carlos at the concerige desk is very helpful, ask for his recommendations and he is more than happy to assist. The 7th floor has the laundry facility, but many machines were out of order. This is going on my pre cruise hotel list because it was the perfect hotel and the perfect location. It was about a 15min ride to the cruise port and airport.

It turns out that the app was glitchy and we were put in a different room number. The lady behind the counter made adjustments and we were able to stay on the same floor as what I originally picked, but in a different room. The room had a king bed, a fridge, microwave, a TV, drawers, and a bathroom with a shower. It was very clean. We got two drink vouchers to redeem at the lobby/pool bar, which was a plus, to enjoy while we were at the pool. The hotel has a fitness center as well. The continental breakfast provided a selection of coffee and juices for the beverages. The food items consisted of a waffle bar, different types of pastries, and breakfast foods to choose from. They offered a little more than some of the other locations I have been at.

My gf and I stopped through here on our way out before boarding our flights later in the afternoon. If you're toting your luggage and not a hotel guest, you will have to find another hotel to store your luggage while enjoying this most decadent brunch experience. Luckily we arrived early enough to our reservations to sort that out. Reservations are a must if you don't want to wait. The restaurant is gorgeous with various spaces designed differently but keeps to the exotic Asian theme. Dining in the atrium near the water feature in the middle with stage for the musicians is where we had our experience. Olga was our server. She brought us our special beverages not available at the bar: Bloody Mary's and endless bubbly in our glasses The offerings here are more than I can name, but there is something to satisfy every craving. The favorite for me is the caviar bar. It comes with all the proper fixings on a blini with Crème fraîche. Do you need a vodka shot to go with? Yes, that's also available also at the caviar station. Fresh raw oysters, clams or shrimp cocktail is available in abundance with everything else here. The ceviche was great. I passed on all the various noodles but had to have some lamb curry and basmati rice- delicious! I had some Peking Duck and leg of lamb at the meat station. The filet mignon and lamb chops was ordered and brought to the table. The leg of lamb and filet were slightly dry but still good. The lamb chops with chimichurri sauce was amazing- nuances of vibrant flavors. Assorted fresh fruits were a colorful collection of enticements. I saw some papaya and enjoyed its fresh, sweet juiciness. I am not a dessert person but had to try the key like pie. Then of course, the matcha dessert is a sitting temptation next to the pie. So, my dessert spoils were more than intended. What the hell right? Lol That was the sweet ending to my Setai brunch. There was so much more such as bread, fried stuff, eggs, bagel station, toast etc. One can only eat so much. I stuck to enjoying my favorites. The experience is pricey but so worth it. It is truly the best brunch experience I've ever had. - better than Vegas and a cruise ship!! I always have to experience a Setai brunch whenever in Miami!

First, the good, it's an awesome location on the southern tip of Brickell Key. The pool was wonderful and gets mostly continuous sun exposure during the day. My balcony faced west so I had sun during the afternoon as well (perfect for a tan). Honestly, I never felt like I needed to leave the resort being a pool guy. The base price room was spacious and mostly clean with a separate shower and tub. The bad- the service wasn't great here. I felt like anytime I needed something I had to ask 3-4 times before staff would remember (including freebies that were part of the room rate). The one time I asked a concierge for assistance he was super brash telling me to go talk to the front desk. The property felt old and in need of a renovation (again it's being demolished so not surprising in that context). Also, a lot of the ads for the resort promote its beach which no longer exists- it's now a model home for the condos going in. The hotel is pricey and gratuity is auto-included at 20% for everything which would be fine if the service was better and they didn't ask for additional tip on top of it. I wish I stayed here 20+ years ago because it felt like in its hay day this was a swanky hotel. Today, it's tired, on its last months, and the staff really don't seem like 5-star talent (as a benefit to the doubt most people would be unmotivated if things were shutting down too). Part of me is excited to try the new hotel whenever it opens, part of me wonders if the poor service is just part of the brand. The gym was tacky- literally they just through equipment in 6ish guest rooms with the doors propped open. Kind of funny but not 5-star hotel caliber.

The beach area was nice, in the servers supporting the beach I felt did their best to accommodate all of the guests outside. If you're a frequent AMEX user, I would definitely recommend going through your AMEX as it really did just make a difference. The grounds were well kept the pool was clean. The staff was friendly and most importantly, we had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend it for anybody coming to South Beach to come here, as it's centrally located and it's easily accessible to lots of other activities you may want to consider.

    My friends and I spent a Sunday at the Kimpton Surfcomber and booked the Ivy cabana. The cabana…read moreitself was cute, comfortable, and gave just the right amount of shade and far enough from the neighboring cabanas so it felt semi private. Service was great. Our attendant was attentive but not hovering, kept the drinks coming, and food came out fast. Everything we ordered was solid -- perfect pool-day food and refreshing cocktails. There is a minimum spend requirement for the cabana, but it was super easy to hit between food and drinks. And considering you're paying for a dedicated space, service, and a prime poolside setup, it felt worth it. Overall, it was the perfect day to unwind and feel a little luxe. I'd definitely book the Ivy cabana again.

    I have always enjoyed staying at the Dream South Beach and this was probably my 20th stay here in…read morethe past 15 years. I was in Miami for a day and half and wanted to soak up some sun and enjoy myself being close to restaurants and the beach . I love this boutique styled hotel and the beautiful rooms that are so beautiful with the turquoise lighting ( my favorite color). I feel safe traveling solo here and never have had any issues. I love the pool and bar area and the decor of this hotel. They offer valet parking which I didn't need as I used car service from the brightline but have always trusted my trucks with their valet attendants. I've already booked another stay for September !

The elevators are a bit slow, the hotel was built in 1920. Its a big elevator. The bedroom is super nice. My partner is a globalist so we got a really nice room. I wish they had a little more amenities in the bathroom like make up remover, cotton and shower cap. If they did have it, I didn't see it. I do have to say, its loud at night. I couldn't really sleep. People were still out partying at 4am. If you don't mind loud then this place is good. The view of the main road was nice, I got to people watch. They also have beach service where they bring out the chairs and have service. We didn't have time since we had to board the Royal Caribbean ship. Check out was super easy. I would recommend this place.

Checking in was a…read morelittle hectic due to the amount of people checking in vs having only one employee during the check in process. Maybe someone called in that day because I felt bad for the young man. Once we checked in, everything was smooth sailing from there. The lobby and bar area were very inviting and everyone I came into contact with was friendly. The room I had was very tiny, but it was just me so I had no complaints. If you have more than one person in a room it will be very crowded as the large bed by the window takes up the majority of the space. This hotel is conveniently located near shopping and dinning and it's close to the cruise port. I'd definitely stay here again.

That said, the room itself was extremely small. It had all the essentials, but there wasn't much space to move around or unpack, so it felt a bit cramped, especially for a longer stay. If you're planning just a short visit or don't mind compact accommodations, it works, but it's definitely something to keep in mind. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the stay smoother despite the limited room size. Overall, I'd say M Citizen is a great choice for its location and vibe, but pack light and don't expect spacious quarters.
