As a Titanium level guest, I get suite night rewards. I reserved an ocean view room and then submitted my request to use my suite night rewards for an upgrade. The upgrade was accepted by the hotel and I got upgraded to an oceanfront room. I arrived to the hotel around 4:20pm. Check in is at 4, but our room wasn't ready. The front desk clerk said the oceanfront rooms were actually sold out and he was trying to see which one of the better rooms he could give me. I though when he said better, I thought it was better than the oceanfront had been reserved for me. Anyway, he told me he put me in a nice room but it wasn't ready and they needed to clean it. So we leave to sit and wait for the room to get ready. I looked at my app, and I noticed that the room they were going to put me in was back to the oceanfront that I reserved originally. So I went back to the gentleman that checked me in and told him that essentially I wasn't getting the upgrade anymore so I wanted my suite rewards back. He had the nerve to say I wish you would have told me that at first. I said I wish you told me you were moving me to the room I originally booked. He didn't really understand the suite upgrade rewards process. He told me that wasn't the hotel, that I would need to go through Marriott corporate. Fast forward he ended up having to get the manager who explained that they can refund my suite rewards since I wasn't getting an upgrade after all. She did also give me a discount since our wait has been so long for the room. She was lovely and tried her best to satisfy me. After a long day of travel, this arrival has been disappointing. I write all of this as I still sit in the lobby (approaching 2 hours) waiting for our room to be ready. Ruined my plans for dinner as I had reservations at 6. Definitely not a happy camper. read more

We are staying here for 3 days. 1st room= black mold on the ceiling right next to the air conditioning vent. They moved us. 2nd room= seems smaller, not a walk-in shower like the other one, old style bath tub, which we were ok with it. However, the vinyl shower lining was nasty, yellow mildew with some black dots of who knows what... My husband called to let them know, the front desk said they will let us know if they could move us. We waited for 5.5 hours and no phone calls. We finally called again to check, then they finally moved us.. again.... 3rd room= the air conditioner is not working. This has been a horrible experience staying at this particular Marriott facility. Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed by the lack of good maintenance and management for a Marriott standard. Very sad!!! We will not recommend this hotel to anyone we know. I want to add that the bellguys and valet workers have done an amazing job and they shouldn't be included in this bad review. read more

There was broken glass in our room, stunk of perfume, beds and pillows not comfortable. Only nice thing is the pool.

Stay was ok till the end, when they had a "system error"and attempted to charge me an extra 305 dollars. Check your close out sheet! Then the lovely lady tried with an attitude. Lol Good location but likely won't come back. read more

An ok hotel. My girls and I came for a friends birthday weekend. The view is nice, the staff is nice. However, we booked well in advance, and, unfortunately, only 1 of our 2 requested rooms were available for some odd reason. It took several hours to get us the 2nd room we shouldve had in the first place, and they weren't together, or even on the same floor. Also, a lot of the charger ports didn't work read more

We had a great time at that hotel. The staff was very attentive and polite. Loved the decorations throughout the lobby and around the hotel. They have services at the pool and beach as well. We brought our own umbrella to the beach for precaution, but the bottom pole broke in half when we tried to place it in the hard sand. Marlin at the beach services was kind enough and immediately assisted us with one of his tools setting us up with our umbrella. The staff always took their time to say hello every time we passed by. Our son really enjoyed the huge chess game + pool table by the pool deck areas. We had a great room facing the beach with a standing up balcony. Our only remark was the floors in the room was dirty and our sink our clogged when checked in. Both issues were taking care of when they were addressed. Overall, we had a great time and we will definitely be going back there. read more

This hotel is place is the perfect location on south beach. I have stayed in different locations on south beach but this one is the best location. The staff is very amazing here, Tiffany working the pool went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and Issac and Xavier on the beach were the nicest people. They were accommodating and very friendly. The ocean view room had a great view and everything to the pools and the beach areas were very clean. You have two restaurants on the premises which is a nice perk. Can always go down and get everything charged straight to your room and there's also a Starbucks which is really nice to have close by. Upon arrival they were excellent with check in even though we were early. They didn't give us a hard time and gave us our room right away. There's lots of things close by, restaurants, pharmacies. And I love that you get a free bicycle to ride around south beach included in your resort fee. read more

Don't stay here , they are not accommodating with rooms, waited for a room for over three . I saw other people get rooms ,the front desk was rude they think because they give you a free sangria can that you're somehow OK with waiting three hours for a room to be cleaned ! read more

Pictures and advertisement looked pretty good. Right by the beach, good view but actually looks nothing like it. Room is small and just looks unkept for the price. The air conditioner in the room we were in suddenly stopped working and just looked like a motel 6 instead of a high end hotel. Don't waste your money here. Stay somewhere else. read more

We loved our room and the friendly staff. The valet, front desk, housekeeping, waiters at Lolo's, and the beach chair guys were very efficient. Our ocean front room with balcony offered stunning views. We'll be back! read more

I typically would wait until I complete my stay at a place before rating them, to see if they have any redeemable qualities, but after being here 4 nights I think I have a clear picture. The unfortunate part is we still have 3 nights left in our stay. Let me start by saying I booked a beach front King room, top tier, for our honeymoon which is a second choice because we had to cancel our original honeymoon (covid and all), but I figured it would be a nice getaway. I'd stayed here before and loved it! Well, I won't be back. I called well in advance and told them this was our honeymoon, only to be welcomed with... nothing. No congrats or even an extra water bottle in our room. Okay, well, whatever. The room view is still amazing, I guess? God forbid they do anything extra. All I asked was for a slightly early checkin, but that didn't even happen. I accidentally forgot to tell my CC company I was traveling so my card was declined the first night, but I got a text overnight from my CC so I went down first thing and cleared it up. At no point did they mention they locked us out of the room, in order to reset our keys, so when we got back from the beach all wet and sandy we had to make an extra trip downstairs to ask why our keys didn't work. I tried calling the front desk from my cell but they didn't answer so I had no choice. No apology, just here's new keys. The first morning there I asked them to clean the balcony windows because they were terrible, streaky and dirty, and 3 days later I was still waiting. You'd think during covid they'd be cleaning everything extra? Guess not. The housekeeping manager came to check on the windows that first day and I told her they weren't cleaned, and she assured me they would be the next day, but they weren't. Wow. I also mentioned our floors were dirty and grimy and they finally washed them. Ew. So finally on the third day when I mention the windows are still dirty they state they will notify the manager. This was again early in the morning after we'd gone to get coffee since the coffee machines In the rooms have been taken away. As my husband lay in the bed relaxing before starting our day, someone opens our room door!!! Even with the do not disturb sign on!!! What?!?! It was someone from housekeeping who said she was told no one was in the room and she was told to clean it? Wow. Considering the front desk had just called me at the room, they knew we were in there!!! She then just left. Then someone else comes and knocks and hands me a coffee maker? I have no words at this point. Finally the front desk calls me, I explain to her what happened, then the housekeeping manager calls me, I explain to her too, because clearly no one here communicates to each other. She swears they're going to make it right and she'll call me later to confirm. That call never came. Who did call was an Ops Manager? Around 3pm? I asked for a manager to call me at 11, which is when I was told they would be in, yeah fat chance huh? He offered an apology, ok thanks, and $100 credit. Yay? A credit that doesn't even cover the cost of 3 margaritas and 4 tacos we had from their on-site restaurant Lolo's by the pool. This place is NOT up to Marriott standards and should not qualify for the tier they're ranked in. I've traveled tons in my lifetime and I've received better service from 3 star hotels in the middle of nowhere. Since I can't leave a no star review I guess the 1 Star is for the view? The service by the pool was nice I guess? But even that wasn't great, they wouldn't open the umbrellas by the pool or at the beach because of winds, when plenty other hotels nearby had theirs open. Guess the umbrellas here are too delicate? My poor husband ended up sunburnt because of this. Side note: I'm looking for other options to complete our honeymoon but moving hotels mid-stay sucks. read more

Marriott Stanton South Beach - Our lovely view.. of a streaky dirty door. - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is a lovely hotel in a quiet but desirable location. The staff is knowledgeable and polite. From the second I got out of my uber to the minute I checked out, the service met my every need. As a platinum member, my benefits far exceeded my expectations. My room was perfect and had a great view. Fan stayed on all night when set to, and the thermostat worked fine. Most rooms appeared to at least have a Juliette balcony but mine was a full one facing the ocean. I have to say one minor irritation was the sliding door on the bathroom. I am really not a fan of that especially when it did not line up at all and had trouble closing. That's usually a deal breaker but the room was so nice and pretty large, so I ignored it as best I could. It also had the typical Marriott smart tv which I love! I had my bags brought to my room, ordered maid service, and ordered room service and have to say everyone was fast and polite. The hottub and pool were both enjoyable and outdoor space was plenty. The amenities were worth the fee; the chairs on the beach were comfy and the bikes were fun. I loved the gym, they had a peleton and plenty of equipment. The on property dining options were lovely as well. I would say if you're planning a nice relaxing vacation in South Beach that is not too far from the action but a little out of the way and more relaxed, then this is certainly your place! Marriott customer service gave me a lot of trouble but this hotel staff made it right! Thanks for a great stay. read more

Really a quite nice hotel! The rooms are definitely smaller (i'm used to larger hotel rooms) but overall, not too bad! Beach access is SO CONVENIENT! You get 2 free Citi bikes for a few hours each day you stay. We took them down the historic Ocean Drive. what a cool experience!!! You also get 2 free chairs on the Marriott beach, as long as you check in with the booth up front (super easy). Overall, I would say that this is a great place to stay! Close to the beach, near the cruise port, and right along Ocean drive. read more

I've been here twice and loved it both times. It's a smaller hotel but I like that. I've never had a problem getting a chair by the pool. It's right on the beach and they have chairs and umbrellas. There is food and beverage service on the beach. The location is central without being right in the middle of chaos. Next time I am in Miami I will definitely stay here again. read more

Such an amazing hotel and our stay didn't disappoint at all except the Cantina.The hotel staff was truly great and even though we were there for one evening we still utilized the resort features of the bike riding and we did get the 2 free drinks that came with the package. Our only true disappointment was the horrible wait staff and treatment at the Mexican Cantina restaurant on the grounds. We were so mistreated that we had to complain to the manager on duty of the hotel because we also witness other customers receiving the same bad service. read more

I had a pleasant two night stay here! Staff and everyone were extremely friendly. The valet service was extremely friendly and quick for South Beach. I was very happy. The hotel was very clean. Only giving it four stars because the rooms were somewhat dated but still nice and clean and the outdoor beachfront restaurant was closed for some reason. read more

After having the worst experience at the wanna be Bentley Hotel South Beach, we had to get out of there and decided to come here. We came earlier than our check in time but the manager Kristine and front desk associate Naomi were very accommodating. They held on to our suitcases and let us enjoy the pool. The room was ready before we even knew it. They also had super yummy complimentary cookies in the lobby. The location is awesome. Steps away from amazing restaurants and with Starbucks downstairs you can't top this for a such an affordable price. We also visited during Art Basel week and they were still able to give us the best service possible. read more

Mediacore at best. We took red i flight down for a work meeting. Arrived at 1230am paid hotel for a whole day because of late flight. The maintenance vrew had the audacity to start up a gas pressure washer at 7am to wash the pool. Inappropriate and out of character for other hotels. When i called the front desk they said they had to do it. I spoke with odella at desk who said andrea the manager would handel it. But nother happened and pressure washing continued. Wont stay here agian. Update too review. It gets worse one elevator was down the other barely works and jasnt been inspected for saftey in three years read more

I came here for vacation and I can't brag enough about how fantastic my experience was. The location, rooms, view, pool and restaurants were all great. The sangria at check in and the gelato were very nice touches. I have to shout out Heather at the pool and Nate at the beach. They were both super helpful and made our stay so much more relaxing. They both provided top notch service. I will definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends. read more

I'm underwhelmed and ticked. The staff was fine and very nice- but I am so annoyed that when I began checkout online I began with a king sized bed for 2 occupants and at some point it reverted me to 2 doubles and 4 occupants. Did the app overbook and change my room? They had nothing else available during our stay- which made a very uncomfortable nights sleep while pregnant. We were "upgraded" to an ocean view from the City view I collected....but it was actually a partial ocean view so we stared at an adjacent apartment complex for our stay. We book through bonvoy almost weekly for work so I'm not sure at what point the reservation changed but honestly I felt baited and switched. Also- terrible bathroom layout. It has a sliding door on the bathroom that doesn't shut or lock, it stays open about 2 inches. The shower stall to counter layout is so hard to describe, but two people can't be at the vanity at the same time, and honestly getting into the shower was a bit difficult again because I am pregnant- but honestly if I was a regular sized man it would also be uncomfortable. I regret booking this and I regret staying here. We accumulate a lot of points with our rewards but I'm put off staying with Marriott for vacations for a long time. At least the room seemed clean and the beach was close. read more

My husband and I stayed at this boutique hotel for about a week. Although the hotel is a bit outdated and needs some improving their customer service is great and their staff are all very friendly! The room was spacious and clean. This hotel is close to the beach walking distance and to all the restaurants and bars. Great location and highly recommend it. read more

This hotel is clean, rather contemporary, quiet at night, great service and walking distance to almost everywhere you would want to go. We arrived around 9:30 AM and requested the north side of the building parkside, 7th-11th floor. If you're facing hotel from the street, that's the left-hand side of the hotel. I also requested to be in the 1st room closest to the beach with Oceanview, not Oceanfront, because that was another $1,000 more for six days. We kept ourselves busy visiting restaurants and having some drinks at Southpoint Park which is beautiful. At 4pm, we got the call our room was ready. They put us in room 733. There was 1 more room- 735, to our right with exact same view as ours on side of hotel. I called down to the front desk and asked them why we weren't put in that room. I was informed it was considered "Oceanfront with unobstructed view"!!! So you're basically paying $1000 more for an oceanfront room that's on the side of the building. There's a circular drive you can pull into, off the Main Street, which is very convenient. There's always staff to help you carry your suitcase up the steps and open the doors for you. If you can't go up the stairs, there is 1 elevator on the ground floor on side of the building with a longer wait, However on the main floor, there are two elevators that go up to all the floors Our room was rather small but It's very comfortable, clean and cozy. The bathroom is also rather small including toilet (not in separate room), but does the trick. Their is only standing shower, no tub. There is a central shower head as well as hand held spray. The closet is divided in half. One side is for hanging clothes, and the other side is all shelving which makes it very convenient to unpack your suitcase if you're staying for a longer period of time. It was delightful sitting on the glass walled deck with two chairs, a small table and warm ocean breeze, sipping on a drink, and just looking at the ocean and the tops of the palm trees. The water is clear and as turquoise-blue as being in Key West or the Caribbean. There were very few waves, being that you had the channel just south of you where the park is. That's where the large cruise ships, large boats from the marina come in and out. The service here is wonderful. Everybody you meet greets you with a smile and asks if everything is OK. John, the concierge, was very helpful at the front desk. Any information you need on where to go or how to get there, he had brochures or pamphlets and full of information. This hotel is better than the one a few buildings down, where I stayed years ago. It's also about $1000 cheaper for the week. The. Marriott also has a $30 a day hotel fee which includes two beach chairs daily. However, an umbrella as an additional $22 a day. The Marriott doesn't have a kiosk but they do have Starbucks connected to their hotel so that you can get there without going outside. They also have a little café called Lola where you can get breakfast, lunch and drinks. There's another Japanese restaurant there as well that's rather small but gets good reviews. We didn't eat there. The layout of the huge deck on the side of the hotel along the park, has a large chess game on the floor, ping-pong table and pool table. There is a bar facing the ocean, overlooking the two pools and hot tub. They don't have a pool designated pool just for kids. If you go out the back gate of hotel, there's a beautiful well-lit brick path that runs all the way from Southpoint Park to Lincoln Avenue. So, if you want to stroll along the park and not along the street, you can still get glimpses of the ocean and see the backside of all the historical hotels and condos, which was really fun. It's also easy to get Lyft/Uber to visit many sites in Miami and key Biscayne (see my reviews). I highly recommend the Art Deco Architectural tour at 10:30 am daily on 10th St. and is around a 10 minute walk North of the Marriott. I also recommend you download the "Go City Card app". You get 20% off any place that you visit and have up to 30 days to go there. If you don't make it to one of your sites, then you have up to 1 year to get your money back. Be sure to visit "The Marketplace". This is where you book many different mini cruises with tons of shops and restaurants. It is really great fun. We took the Island Queen tour which was relaxing and goes around Fisher Island and north to see all the mansions of the rich and famous. We loved staying at the Marriott Stanton and definitely plan on going back. read more

My husband and I chose to travel to South Beach Miami in mid-February in search of the warmest temps during the coldest part of the Midwest winter. We had never travelled to this part of Miami in the past, so we weren't sure where to stay. I asked around for recommendations, and Marriott Stanton came up as the top contender for amenities, location and price. The Marriott Stanton was about a 20-30min Uber (depending on the time of day) from the Miami International Airport. We arrived in the late-evening so check-in was very smooth. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who checked us in, he was very pleasant. I did notice throughout our stay that there are busy check-in times during the day, so plan your travel accordingly as you may be waiting for your room a bit. The hotel has a Mexican restaurant onsite, and all guests are provided with a voucher for a free 8oz frozen margarita upon check-in. Perhaps a margarita and free wi-fi in the lobby could ease your wait, or maybe you're one to chill on the beach - the hotel is right on the beach, so you have beach access as a guest. As a guest, you get 2 beach chairs per day as a part of the daily resort fee. Umbrellas are an extra $22 each day. in addition to beach chairs, your resort fee also gives access to bike rentals, beach towels, the fitness center and the spa. The resort fee may vary depending on the time of year, we paid $40/day. Hot tip, bring a cooler if you can for snacks and beverages! Wish we thought of that. In addition to the Mexican restaurant onsite, the Marriott Stanton is the home of a popular Japanese restaurant - Azabu. We didn't get the chance to dine here as we made other offsite plans, but the menu looked tasteful. During our stay, the Starbucks onsite was closed. Maybe call ahead and check the status of the reopening if a daily Starbucks is a must. The nearest open Starbucks we found was up 12-13 blocks on Ocean Drive. Miami Beach has many other options nearby within walking distance for your daily coffee fix. We walked about three or four blocks to Pura Vida for our daily lattes. The pool is reservation only right now, and if the beach/ocean isn't your thing, you need to be in line to reserve your pool time by 7:15am! However, the beach is not limited, at least not during our stay. We didn't waste time with the pool. We went straight to the beach everyday. There was a line at the beach cabana to get your chair(s) set up, so again be patient and prepare to wait. The staff is very friendly and do their best to cater to the guests. I can imagine they are short staffed as well. If you chose to eat on the beach, do not waste your time ordering at Lola's Cabana. You're better off walking into the restaurant and waiting for your order. We made the mistake, and waited nearly 90min for chips and salsa. Again, keep in mind they may be low staffed and just be patient. The location of the hotel is fair. I'd say its basically South Pointe. After taking walks up and down Ocean Drive, I think a hotel anywhere between South Pointe and 15th would be ideal beachfront location and walking distance to all the restaurants, bars and nightlife. The rooms are small, but nice. We had to ask for extra towels since they are not offering daily room cleaning unless requested. A simple call to the front desk and our request was fulfilled. We had a furnished balcony with a partial ocean view. There is a mini fridge and safe in the rooms as well. However, the mini fridge didn't seem to cool down very well, so be cognizant if you plan to use it. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and I would recommend the Marriott Stanton to anyone traveling to Miami Beach in search for a relaxing vacation. read more

The Marriott Stanton was a GREAT choice for the second half of my Christmas get-away. It's ideally located in SoBe away from the tourist areas a few blocks away (also on Ocean) but within walking distance of a number of good restaurants. As a Marriott platinum member, I had access to the concierge lounge which serves a nice breakfast, drinks all day and canapes in the evening (with wine and beer available for purchase). The hotel staff was great. On arrival (4 pm) my room wasn't ready so they gave me to other choices including an upgrade to a suite...which I took...and which was a nice touch. The hotel has beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach right behind the hotel. The staff there (Kevin in particular) was helpful. The chairs are included in the daily resort fee, but the umbrella is a reasonable $19 per day. The pool area is nice, but it gets crowded early, so if one wants to be at the pool vs. the beach, you need to get out there early! Overall a nice stay...and I would certainly go back! read more

Great relaxing location. Staff is super attentive from beach crew to bartenders. Laid back vibe. Dee at pool bar was awesome!!!

We came in for the Miami half marathon and chose to stay on the beach vs the host hotel our group selected; great and easy decision...cause seriously, who passes up a beach property? Our room was ready at check in, but Michelle was very honest in saying that we had a small standing (only) balcony, so we opted out of that room and waited on another and joined the south beach festivities in the interim. Once we truly checked in, the room was great. Beds were comfortable, pillows were nice, rain shower head in the bathroom was a nice touch, and the view of ocean was an added bonus. We even got to change rooms the next day to an actual ocean front room on a higher floor. My type of vacationing.... The staff (restaurant, front desk, concierge) etc were great. The hotel was clean, hot tub hot and just nice. I like that they've added the resort fee that allows us 2 chairs on the beach (although I do wish it included an umbrella too), because this was not an option the last time I stayed here. I'd definitely stay again. read more

Let me preface this review by saying I am a VERY good customer of the Marriott hotel chain. They reward my loyalty by taking VERY good care of me whenever I am at one of their properties, this one being no exception. The Marriott South Beach is located at the southern end of the "SoBe" area. The hotel is lovely. Because of my status with Marriott, everything was exactly the way I like it. Cheese and wine in the room when I arrived, access to the Concierge Lounge,and a beautiful room that has a balcony overlooking the ocean. The Concierge Lounge (available to those with a certain Marriott status or you can pay for access) is a great place to grab free breakfast in the morning, soda, water and fruit throughout the day, and appetizers and desserts in the evening. There is even an honor bar if you'd like a cocktail to go with any of that. The infinity pool overlooks the amazing beach area so each day your biggest decision is whether to sit out at the pool or in your own private cabana steps away from the Atlantic. Service is the same at both locations- friendly and attentive. The fitness center is also top notch and during my stay- was not crowded at all (keep in mind I am writing this during off season) There are also basic spa services offered such as massages, facials, manicures and pedicures in their spa. The location of the hotel is great. You are right on the beach so you can walk endless miles along the coast. Or you can walk a few blocks to the central South Beach shopping district and restaurant row and have a coffee at one of the many cafes that line the streets in the old Art Deco area. At night-the clubs are just up the street for all the late night parties anyone could want. The downsides as I saw them? The housekeeping staff and the valet. The housekeeping staff because they always seemed underfoot and should have been less invasive. Most hotels do their turn down service between 6-8pm while people are out at dinner. At this place- after 9 (maybe to accommodate the large amount of Europeans in the hotel?). Also- they forgot twice to replace the bathroom towels at night which was odd since they took the soiled linens away. As for the valet- even when I called for my car 15 minutes ahead of me needing it- there was always commotion when I showed up as no one ever knew where my car was. C'mon guys- it's not that hard! So if a hotel with style, class and elegance without pretension sounds like the spot for you- you should stay at the Marriott South Beach. Hmm . . .and if I don't get motivated by the end of the week to come home- you just might find me still sitting here at the pool! read more

Thank you to the Marriott Stanton South Beach for an excellent Christmas vacation! The remodel is going really well and I love all the upgrades to the hotel. Next up they definitely need to do a big upgrade of the exterior of the hotel, as I had stopped by briefly before my parents arrived in town to scope out the place and was worried it wouldn't be very nice. The lobby is beautifully redone, as our the interiors of the rooms. The rooms have hardwood floors and gorgeous showers with overhead or handheld options. The shower gets nice and hot and the overhead has excellent pressure. There is a little cutout in the shower door .. does anyone know what this is for?? My theories are that it is either for turning on the shower and getting it nice and steamy before stepping in (what a waste of water!) or for reaching for your towel without letting all the steam out. The hotel's staff was what really put the hotel over the top. When we checked in we realized we had made a booking mistake and our reservation was actually for the next day; the wonderful lady working at the check in counter was able to find us a room at a reasonable rate, and arranged it so that we wouldn't have to change rooms the next day. We also needed a small pair of scissors (to cut wrapping paper, of course ;)) as well as a curling iron and hairspray, all of which they were happy to provide. One gripe, that you will also see on my review of Boucher Brothers, is that the beach chairs and umbrellas bearing the Marriott logo on the beach in front of the hotel are NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE HOTEL. They will not give free beach towels for hotel guests, only those who pay for their expensive beach chairs and umbrellas. This would be fine, if only these umbrellas did not bear the Marriott logo. I strongly feel it is a poor business move for Marriott to permit use of their logo if a service is not being provided to hotel guests. You have to bring towels from your room to use for the beach, as pool towels are not permitted to be brought to the beach. A beachfront hotel should provide beach towels, IMO. read more

Marriott Stanton South Beach - "We are too busy, so we're out of towels." $400 for a room, but you have to pay an extra $13 per chair to get a beach towel - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Minus the airport where I've flown through for layovers, my most recent trip was the first time that I've actually ever visited Miami! This Marriott is located right at the beginning of South Beach (1st & Ocean), three doors away from Nikki Beach, two blocks away from Story and Big Pink, and a $15 cab drive to downtown. Pros: + Spacious rooms with great views + Literally a few steps away from the beach (located behind the hotel) + Friendly staff, from the bellhops, concierge, housekeeping, and room service who dealt with our crazy group (especially the bellhops who would hail cabs for us!) + For Starbucks addicts, there's a Starbucks attached to the hotel (in addition to a separate entrance outside) + It was in a quieter area (unless you kept your windows open, you would be able to hear the music from Story and Nikki Beach) than the rest of South Beach Cons: - The bathrooms were small and they had sliding doors in lieu of actual doors - You have to pay $10 for a chair on the beach - Although central South Beach was walking distance, it was farther from most places to go out -- Google Maps is your friend in determining whether you need a cab or not For my first stay in Miami, the Marriott was a great choice for us! read more

I have been here three or four times and always had a great time. Giuliana at the bar is amazing and this time she made the Popo drink for me. Everything else did not meet up to the other drinks.. Ask Giuliana for the Popo and you will not be disappointed. read more

Marriott Stanton South Beach - If you haven't tried the "Popo", do it now.. ask Giuliana at the pool bar for it... AMAZING!! - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Clean hotel, beach front, heated pool that looks over the beach.. South Beach, you made my touristy girlfriends and I leave with great memories! This Marriott is located on Ocean Drive, so all the restaurants, clubs, main attractions were close by. Also, it's in the middle of the art deco district.. where it's along beautiful pastel-colored vintage and modern buildings. You can pack up your beach gear and walk to the beach, or call the nice valet guys to help you catch a cab for a night out. It's funny because we were more dependent on the valet guys rather than asking the concierge or looking online. They were spot on and extremely helpful in so many ways: 1. They knew all the popular places (for people our age). 2. They always remembered our names and asked us if we had a good time (maybe it's because being Asian is super rare there). 3. They helped our drunk asses order food for delivery at 3 a.m. We literally hopped into their tiny office and called from their phone, HA. The hotel has an avery/bird conservatory right outside the hotel? Cool but a bit random. And if you feel a little tired out from over-relaxation (yes, that exists), there is a Starbucks inside the hotel. I miss you, Miami! read more

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights this July. The property is extremely clean and welcoming. There is a really relaxing smell to the lobby - no doubt some kind of aroma pumped in. The room was very clean, and the bathroom was beautiful. The shower had two heads and had excellent water pressure. We stayed in an Oceanfront room on the 4th floor. The balcony was not as expected, having viewed the photos on the website, but the view was very nice. The bed was extremely comfortable and the sheets were very soft. The pillows were great too. The pool can get crowded so if you want seats I recommend getting down by 10 or 10:30, and earlier on the weekends. There was some gross half eaten fruit that was being dropped from the palm trees by birds I assume. I would have liked if they swept it up periodically. The girls on the pool service were excellent. They had plenty of towels and set up your chairs for you with extra towels. They periodically came around with fruit and once with iced lavender washcloths - it was so refreshing on a 95 degree day! The drinks and food service from Lolo's at the pool was unfortunately slow. It took forever to get your drinks. I ordered a Bloody Mary ($18) and with tax and 18% gratuity it totaled $22! It took so long for the second drink to come that I gave up and went to the restaurant myself. To my surprise it was only $11 at the bar, plus tax and 18% gratuity. So the waitress lost out on that one. Also, it was the weekend and the pool was full, yet there was only one waitress. In contrast on Monday, the pool was 1/2 empty and there were 3 waiters - so that didn't make sense. However, the food and drinks from Lolo's were excellent and the staff was great. The beach was really nice. We were given two chairs and lots of towels, but it was $22 to get an umbrella for the day. We did not use the spa services or go to the sushi restaurant. The Starbucks was great and there was an entrance from the inside of the hotel. Lots of taxis outside the hotel. The area was quiet but just a few blocks walk from the busier part of south beach. read more

We loved this hotel - very modern and on the quieter side of South Beach. So, it was good for our little family. The style is very modern, consistent with the town vibe. And, it was very clean, which is important to me! The staff was just awesome! $50 parking/valet seemed a bit much, but I guess that's the only choice you've got and Miami is an expensive town. And, we saw some older dudes get in a tiff in the pool because the football they were throwing got a little close to one guy's toddler - he definitely overreacted. read more

Easily a four-star review if not for the major renovations and construction currently in progress. Overall a very nice hotel in the trendy SoFi neighborhood of South Beach. I was fortunate enough to have a few days off in Miami prior to doing some work-related business near the airport, so I decided to head out to the beach to redeem some award points at the Stanton. By far the best part of this hotel was the location. The Stanton is in the quiet and safe part of South Beach in SoFi, yet only a short 10-15 minute walk from all the action further north on Ocean Drive. There are many great bars, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, and the area is also in the perfect location for getting in a quick morning run. Another big plus was the concierge lounge on the top floor, easily one of the nicest Marriott lounges I've had the pleasure of visiting. A solid variety of food and drink options and panoramic views of Miami Beach from the multiple rooftop decks. Great for watching the sunset or some of the epic South Florida thunderstorms! As for the downsides, I have to subtract a star due to the major renovations going on at the hotel and the general haphazard setup it created in the lobby and ground floor areas. Although I'm sure the work is just temporary, it definitely detracted from the overall experience and I might not have booked the hotel if I knew the extent of the construction ahead of time. The other issue...I found the pool area and the customer service in the pool area to be lacking for a hotel at this price point. For one, the pool area felt extremely cramped, and several large families with small children running around the pool area didn't make it better. On top of that, one of the pools was closed and taped off for more than half of my stay, and the staff didn't appear to be doing anything to fix the issue other than placing an orange road cone on the bottom of the pool. Down to one pool instead of the usual two, the congested pool area became even more so. My final gripe was with the poolside servers, some of who seemed to ignore certain customers all together and showed little personal attention. I personally heard more than one individual complain to the manager about their bad customer service experience by the pool. Not the best considering how much people are paying for that experience. Overall a nice hotel and once the renovations are complete, I would definitely recommend the Marriott Stanton to others. I personally will probably go elsewhere on my next visit to South beach just to explore the variety the area has to offer. read more

Marriott Stanton South Beach - Ocean view room, not bad at all! - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

No charging station. Will have to find another hotel next time Room is nice. People great. But inconvenient without charging overbite read more

Service is the best I've recieved in a long time from the hotel industry. This is also the best hotel I've stayed at in the south beach area as I've been here multiple times. Though it is located on the quieter end of the strip, it is well worth the stay. The atmosphere is relaxing. The beach is right at the back of the hotel along with the hotel pools, and there is a fantastic restaurant leading to the pool area. I really liked the food they served though it was a little pricey. I'd definitely stay here again based on the customer service and location alone. Oh and there's a nice gelato shop at the front of the hotel. read more

Stayed here for a weekend of partying with two good friends. I'll start by saying the housekeeping staff was great...cleaning up our partying before going out to the bars each night--definitely felt like I was reliving some of my college days. The deck, pool, poolside bar and beach access were great. The rooms weren't the greatest, but they worked. Only thing I didn't like was the location, definitely too far away from the clubs being down on 2nd. Most of the clubs are around 15th, so we had to cab it every night. Can't wait for the W to open up in south beach, it's supposed to be around 15th street on ocean--the building looks amazing. It's in the right area and it's a W so it will be awesome. read more
