First of all this was my fault, for not reading reviews before hand. We needed a place to stay close to the port to leave on a cruise the next day. Had I done some research I would not have booked it because all the reviews (at least in here) are spot on. Pros: location and check-in experience. Now, price wise obviously everyone gets a different price depending on their dates but I paid $161.00, so NOT a "budget" hotel like some people said. Cons: well, it is a place to crash, but not a place to take your family. The rooms are SUPER small. The sink in the room (instead of the bathroom) was a weird thing to have. The bathroom was ok, we did not use the toiletries provided bc we had out own. There's no space for anything and the beds are smaller length-wise. I am only 5'7 and my feet were hanging. It's an old building so it doesn't have central cooling and uses a window unit instead. When we arrived our room was probably 90 degrees. If all you need is a place to sleep, and don't care about anything else, then it will be fine. If you expect any sort of amenities, this is not the place for you, especially not for the price. read more

Came here for luggage storage. It's very convenience and the customer service was very nice. Scan the QR code and book online then show them the QR code, they process and gave me the tickets. read more

Miami Sun Hotel - Inside - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

Absolutely third world conditions, from the lobby to the rooms. I checked in, immediately came back down and politely asked for a refund that I chose not to stay. Was denied and charged for a room that I barely set foot in. I can't express enough!.... Look for lodging elsewhere. read more

Alright so there are a couple of things I wanted to address before writing this review: First off, I, myself personally, am a decently easy person to please and if you've followed my previous reviews, I rate most of my experiences with a 5 star rating. I don't really have a gauge to compare my ratings to. For me I rate based on how my experience was, whether it was my first time (trips--also first impressions can make/break a situation), to being a regular at a certain restaurant. Secondly, I've read the previous reviews as well as seen the pictures. Again for me my rating will be based on my experience throughout this weekend. I'll also be including the reason why I was in Miami in the first place and everything will fall into place from there. OKAY I appreciate those were are still reading this for this in itself could be the rating. SO... to start things off, the outside doesn't look like much, and has a small drop off area for taxis and Uber's. But inside, the lobby has a pretty hipster vibe going for it. But enough about looks. The receptionist at the front desk, Nina, was so pleasant and very accommodating. Now the reason we were in Miami was because my friends and I attended the Ultra Music Festival (20th Anniversary). Nina asked if we were going to that festival and we said yes without shame. Our flight arrived to Miami around 8:45 am and our friend, whom our reservation was under wouldn't be coming in until 9pm. So we had A lot of time to kill. Although Nina couldn't let us check in for obvious reasons, she gladly held our luggage for us. She also had great recommendations for what to do in Miami. The second floor, which we were situated on, feels more like a college dorm than a hotel and the room is...cozy. Still bigger than some San Fransisco hotels I've stayed at. The room had a small closet space with a few hangers to hang your nice clothes. The room has a tv, remote, air condition, microwave and fridge. Those are nice commodities to have in a hotel room. The bathroom is small but had everything you need (soap, shampoo, towels). Our view isn't much to look at, but it's given our group a nice inside joke now, perfect for memories. Now what makes this place a game changer is that it is literally only 2-3 blocks from the Ultra venue, literally a 7-10minute walk. Now you don't have to go to music festivals to know how crazy it is when the nights end. Crowds of people are literally filling the streets as they make their way back home to their hotels or spots to catch Uber's to the next party. You wouldn't want to be caught dead in a car towards the end of Ultra. So what made this hotel amazing for our group was that we did not even worry about getting to/coming back from the music festival venue. If you can get past the small, cozy atmosphere of the room, then this place is heaven sent. Sure, it's no Hilton, but the location is prime. Setting the music festival aside, the Miami Sun Hotel is very central to the Bayfront, Little Havana, and the Wynwood. The Miami Beach is a bit farther away but nothing a Uber can't fix. Let me add two more things. They give out a single key (not a key card) so I recommend having a designated key holder throughout your trip especially in big groups. This hotel also doesn't have "so not disturb" signs, however the housekeeping had a gentle knock, just enough to hear it, but not obnoxious. She was so sweet! She would ask us if we needed anything, including cleaning the room but usually just asked for towels and toilet paper in exchange for the used towels from the night before. The service was on point. read more

We wouldn't advise you to book this hostel for room..... my hueband andi came here for one night back in 2017 after hurricane Irma scare! We couldn't stand this nastiest & overpriced hotel by Poop inn! We would have gone to different hotel for more clean and comfort level.. this Lyft driver should not have took us here for the night! Sadly, we became sick with bronchitis for two months! This hostel need to go! read more

This place is an old apartment building repurposed. It's worth 99$ not $150. Rooms are old and dated, definitely meant for solo travel on a budget. Bathroom is like a closet without a sink in it. Bed was comfy and the best compliment I can give was the lovely front desk Asian woman made our welcome very enjoyable. She should leave here immediately and go to work at a more reputable establishment. read more

Would give this hotel 0 stars if possible. Smells of death, hot garbage, and rotten food upon entering lobby. Shady characters and illicit activities going on.Rooms are out of a horror movie- old, oddly-shaped, cramped, moldy, and stained (sheets, walls, curtains). We were afraid to touch anything and felt violated by even touching door handles, yuck! We immediately left and fortunately received a refund from The website in which we booked (Hotels.com)- unfortunately for others it seems that it is difficult or impossible to receive a refund when booking directly with the hotel itself. I do not exaggerate, this place is not fit for human habitation. read more

Place is run down and gross, rooms are sooo small and bathroom is what you would expect from a cruise ship. Literally had to open the curtain to shower. Room had rust on the floor and paint falling off door. Only things nice were the location and staff read more

Stayed at the Miami Sun because I needed a place to shower before a meeting - I flew in over night. The room windows didn't close so the cold air came into the room, there was mold on the window sills and curtains were stained with big yellow/water stains? and mold on the shower floor and around the shower step. The room was so bad, I left and went to a gym to shower! Hotel wouldn't refund any portion of the $150/night rate they charged me. Additionally, the immediate neighborhood felt very unsafe, homeless everywhere. Very bad and not as pictured. read more

I'll start by openly saying I haven't stayed here. This is about customer service and the pandemic. When the pandemic happened and Ultra festival was cancelled the hotel immediately offered to credit its customers for a future stay (no reimbursement). This made perfect sense to me, the world was unsure and if they reimbursed everyone they'd probably go under right? Ok fair enough. Months later the world was still unsure and many of us were unemployed (myself included. I was an essential worker who eventually got let go). The hotel still offered the credit, good for a year from the date of the initial check in. I still felt like I understood. Despite the mask ban lifted and people traveling, the world could easily shut down again without warning. Months after this things were starting to level. When I spoke with the hotel this time around they still refused reimbursement and insisted that travel was easy to do, no big deal, and they were booking up without an issue, so why couldn't I just come use my credit? Soooo if the hotel is having no problem selling their rooms, why am I not allowed ANY kind of compensation for the $1,300 I had forked over. Fine fine fine. A couple months later we're a year into the pandemic, and according to the hotel things are back to normal entirely, travel is safe and I should simply come stay with them if I want to use my credit. I would just have to let them know soon because they're selling out.... Its like they were fed a line from Florida to encourage tourists. I was understanding in the beginning. The pandemic took us all by surprise. But the hotel is boasting that they're thriving and doing SO well. As for me, I had finally got a job again at the end of 2020 as an essential worker and I was struggling to make ends meet. Yet if I wanted to have any sort of restitution for the Ultra festival cancelation im supposed to travel to Florida. With what money, im not sure, with good faith in my health?, and time the time off I should just simply ask for. I was extended my rebooking period by an extra six months. Id say I appreciate that, but that wasn't for my benefit, it was so the hotel could say they tried. The hotel turned things around, good for them! That must have been hard to do. But they're selling out and I am offered no reimbursement in any capacity for money I really do need, when they've made it pretty clear that not only will my stay not break their bank, but that they didn't care about me as a consumer. This pandemic robbed the whole world of a lot. It would be nice if we were looking out for each other. read more

Horrible Customer Service !!!! My son made a reservation here for an event 3 weeks away. As soon as I saw all the negative reviews on this hotel I decided it was not a safe environment for him and his friend to stay in. When he tried to cancel a day after making the reservation, they told him he couldn't cancel within 30 days of his stay. I've never heard of this before but sure enough it was hidden in the terms and conditions you'd have had to click on to read. I called the "hotel" on a Thursday to speak with a manager. I was told by the worker, Eli, that Susan the manager would not be back till Monday. When I asked her how there can be no one in charge till Monday she had no answer. When I told her I would be blasting the hotel on social media she just hung up. Do not book with this hotel. Read the negative reviews ! They aren't exaggerating. read more

As soon as we arrived outside the Miami Sun Hotel, I knew it was not going to be good. The reception area was an absolute mess and the room keys were actual keys and not cards like typical hotels. The pictures of the rooms are close up for a reason. They don't want you to see what the room looks like as a whole. The bed was barely a mattress, every channel on tv was fuzzy, and the main issue was the only air in the room was a small window unit. The hotel should be $50 a night and no where near $175-$200 a night. Absolute rip off. He ended up checking out early and went to another hotel. The receptionist didn't bother to ask why we were leaving and just said, "Ok." I'm guessing she has heard this before. Do not stay here! read more

Where do I start? First red flag was being given an actual key for the room. Second was when I notified the manager that she failed to give me my $5 change for the key deposit, she literally counted the entire drawer before giving me my money. Third was what I saw when I turned the key to the room. It's a cramped closet with a sink in the middle of the room, a tiny tv with no cable, and an awkward shower/toilet setup. The walls are so thin that I was able to hear the conversations and music of the occupants next door. I booked this hotel 2 weeks out and when I arrived, the listed room price was less than half of what I was charged and was basically told to deal with it and that there aren't any adjustments made to reservations although they have a "price match" policy. DO NOT book this hotel. read more

I really wanted to like this hotel. It promotes itself to be a modern minimalist boutique hotel. $275 for 1 night. When you pay $275 you expect better quality. This place was closer to a roadside motel than modern downtown hotel. Cons: No lamps in the room Wifi super slow (like dial up) or non-existent. TV sporadic reception. Mostly fuzz. AC (window based) didn't work. No freon. And filthy. Room was 80-82 degrees, while the A/C was set to 64 for 5 hours. Drain in shower not properly sealed. Towel holder may have fallen off of wall. Initial room didn't have city view. Couldn't enjoy city view once sun came up since the AC didn't work. Front desk staff lacks sympathy, empathy or desire to fix problems. Front desk staff will blame you for short comings of facility - mostly because they offer no refunds. But it's not like they have to offer a full refund. She could have offered She could have offered to extend check out by 2 hours. Or offer $30 or $50 for my trouble. Or a $10 Starbuck's gift card. I used their facility. I wouldn't want a full refund. But sheesh! Act like you care that things didn't go well. Or just give me a $5 breakfast sandwich or something. The whole avoiding a refund doesn't have to be so drastic that no consideration is shown for the inconvenience. Room service provided by another party was closed at 0900 on 12/31/2021. So no breakfast. The A/C tech showed up at 0906 AM. Didn't know how to fix the A/C. He cleaned the filter. The unit itself still dirty. And increased the fan speed. That isn't how these things work. Increasing the fan speed doesn't make the air any colder. Another call to front desk. This time I'm asking why she's so resistant. I'm asking about the background of the hotel. Like does she or her parents own it? Is that why she's so non-chalant? At 0930 - She agrees to exchange the A/C unit. 0956 new unit works great. Check out is at 1100. But I needed that 1 hour of actually cold air. Pros: Location Eclectic decor City view The only decent customer service was an attempt to find me someplace to eat once it was discovered that the second party room service didn't start until noon. And after I badgered her, she had the A/C changed out. No readings on this one. But works a heck of a lot better than the last. ------------------------------------- Narrative: I arrived in the middle of the night after a very long day of international travel. I made a reservation for a room with view. The first room they put me in, Room 305, had a view of the side of the building of Miami-Dade College. After a very frustrating travel schedule, I really wanted a room with a view to unwind. I reluctantly asked to be moved. Room 517 - Great view. However, the Wi-fi either wouldn't connect or moved so slowly when connected that I thought I was using dial up. I ended up paying extra to hotspot my phone rather than even attempt to use their Wifi. The air conditioner didn't work. It was basically a glorified fan. The air was cool, but not cold. At 0830 when I asked for the AC to be serviced, I was told that check-out was in 2 hours. Meanwhile, the sun is blaring into the single pane windows. I had to close the curtains to abate the heat. Finally got the A/C unit exchanged at 0956. The room was 82 degrees prior. The girl at the front desk will find any way to spin any of your complaints or concerns to make it seem as if you're the problem. Her voice and cadence is also weird. It's like she's using an attempt to perky as a weapon. She has no interest in actually assisting you. Probably because they have an absolute "no refund" policy. The customer service could use some help. I thought the rooms were cute and eclectic. They are very minimalist. You can tell that they've tried to upgrade, but it seems unfinished. read more

It was horrible. The hallways smelled horrible. Rooms extremely small. We were afraid to shower because we weren't sure if it was clean. The locks on the doors, let's just say if someone wanted to break down the door, no problem. read more

Yes, all the reviews above are true! This is a place where you take a hooker and nothing else! I live in Miami and needed to crash for the night because of a project I was working on at Wells Fargo nearby. I wanted some place cheap and close because I knew I only needed a room for sleep. I found the Miami Sun Hotel online and was within my budget. When I arrived I decided to see if I could check in early so I could head off to work ASAP! The first impression I got when I walked in was, "Good God"!! Black guys right out of a Jay-Z video lingering in the lobby and a front desk clerk that appeared to look like she might moonlight as an Asian masseuse. Good thing I'm a guy and only needed a bed, otherwise I would have been right out the door in 3 seconds flat!!! read more

This is the worst hotel ever. I am in town for a graduation and every hotel in the city was booked. The hotel was a last minute desperate decision. For $110 +tax( which I was told was 13%) and a $5 key fee, I got a rundown room with a dirty refrigerator and missing light fixtures and taped doors. There are no amenities and it smells dank and moldy. The bathroom......... The halls smelled like marijuana and it filled our room. Definitely DO NOT STAY HERE. I feel like I need to be quarantined. read more

Very helpful staff and good location! It was walkable to Bayside Park for NYE and we were only staying one night so suited us well for the $ and 4hrs sleep. Previous reviews were accurate and helpful. The hotel is very old but they have tried to update it with paint. Very small rooms/bathrooms. Sink is out in the open in the room with no outlets near it or the mirror which makes getting ready difficult. For the holiday price and one night, it worked fine. read more

Never have I been so mislead by the pictures on a website. I was looking for a simple place to stay for one night before a cruise, and needed a room with two double beds. The pictures showed a modern, clean place to stay. I was pleased with the price compared to the pictures. When I arrived, however, it was a nightmare. First of all, there is no parking. To park your car nearby, you have to pay $20/day to park in the next-door lot that has chickens roaming around and dirty animal cages. You're not even guaranteed a spot as if you leave to drive somewhere, you'll come back and the spot will be filled. Upon check-in, I will say that the lobby was nice and the staff was very friendly. But that's about where the positives ended. We knew we were in for something when they handed us a very old brass key. The entire building smelled like trash, and the elevator smelled the worst. The elevator itself was barely big enough for 4 people, let alone the luggage these people might have. Several times I witnessed people dragging their luggage up the stairs since they couldn't fit into the elevator with other people. It also lurched and creaked like it was about to fall apart. When we reached our room, we were horrified to see that our door barely shut properly. And when we entered the room, we were shocked to see how small, and dirty, the room was. As four people trying to share a room, and requesting two beds, we didn't expect to see two beds that were basically the entire room, and did not have walking space between them. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel/motel, and the sink was OUTSIDE of the bathroom, about three feet from one of the beds. No counter attached, either...so no where to place toiletries or even a toothbrush. No dresser or cabinet or side table in sight; only one closet without a door. The bathroom door was about a foot away from the end of one of the beds, and the door would hit the bed when opened or closed. When we entered the bathroom, we noticed immediately that the bathroom was extremely dirty. The shower head was falling out of the wall, and there was not a single shelf inside or near the shower; all toiletries needed during the shower had to be placed on the dirty floor while you were using them. The toilet did not flush properly either. There was one small TV in the room, mounted on the wall, but every single channel was fuzzy. When we attempted to adjust the wires behind the TV, we were disgusted to find years worth of dust built up in the back. There was also a mini-fridge, but it was dirty and smelled horrible...no one wanted to brave putting ANYTHING inside of it. The only positive about the room itself was the A/C...while dirty, it did its job and blew out extremely cold air. However, the placement/length of the curtains was poor and we had to choose between the A/C or closing the curtains. The window was also disgustingly dirty, and none of us wanted to get our hands or faces remotely close to check out the view. A small annoyance, but most of the outlets were up the middle of the wall. Being that there were no dressers/nightstands/etc, if you wanted to charge your phone or plug something in, you had to either hold it, or let it dangle from the outlet. Do NOT stay here. It is not worth the price, and there are better quality places to stay nearby if you're willing to pay a little more money. Trust me, it would be worth it. read more

Enough of the reviews on Kayak said this place was okay, and I wasn't a Yelp user yet, so we got fooled into reserving a room here. The area of town is questionable at best, and some shady dude tried to charge me to "watch my car" when I parked. We checked in, and went upstairs to our room, and Jesus Christ... the place was terrifying. It looked like a place where you get raped, not a place where you spend a pleasant night. And I am NOT a picky person about this kind of thing. Since one of our number was female, and we also wanted to be able to leave our stuff in the room to be tourists without worrying about whether it'd still be there when we got back, we immediately went down to the front desk and informed them we wouldn't be staying there, and requested a refund. They would not give us a refund, no matter how much I stressed that we did not feel safe in that hotel. The words I have for these people I cannot use on Yelp. This place is scummier than a tobacco lobbyist being pulled out of the bottom of New York Harbor. Never stay here. read more

Worse than a motel. Probably best described as The Miami Homeless Shelter. The general staff was pleasant- the manager was unapologetic and wanted to charge a $150 cancellation fee for THEIR crappy room. We reserved five nights, stayed one and were agreeable to pay for it- not the fee. We've taken our case to the bank. Why did we leave? Bare bones dirty room: hairs on the bedding, smudges on the walls, filthy windows and curtains that didn't block any light (or close fully). There was about a 1" gap under the door to let all of the hallway noise in, the bathroom sink was in the room (not the bathroom), poor illumination in the small bathroom, and no furniture was provided to place anything upon. Not to mention it came with a pet spider. Ooo! Never again. Better to sleep on the street with all of the homeless people you'll pass just a block from this Miami mistake. read more

Hotel was way overpriced! Claustrophobic room (and I'm not even claustrophobic!). Shower was the same width as the toilet tank; could not shave legs because it was so small. Room smelled musty. Window was askew like there was an earthquake that changed the frame so it couldn't close. Loud traffic. read more

It is definitely what you pay for, but I loved staying here! I got to save a load of money which was used to party. :) If you don't mind staying in a hostel then you won't mind this place. I went to Miami to party and get wasted every night.... not to sit in a hotel room. We went on a band cruise, and it just so happened that there were a bunch of people from our cruise staying there, which made it like a little mini party. :) ... I do recommend bringing your own sheets and pillow tho... read more

This place is a total dump. The rooms are small, disgusting and overpriced. The bathroom doesn't have an exhaust fan they don't provide hair dryers for the guests and the towels are as rough as sandpaper. They should be arrested for the ridiculous prices they charge for these rooms --absolutely disgusting I would not recommend that anybody stay here. We only booked this room because it was close to the arena when we came to see Madonna in concert, this is an absolute joke I have never stayed in such a disgusting, deplorable place in a my travels. read more

People expect too much when traveling. You might say to yourself, well for 120 a night I could get a lot more for my money! Not in downtown Miami... this is the best deal, no frills, great location, friendly staff and a decent room. The room was clean and the beds were comfy, you've got all the necessities and you probably have a decent window view of the surrounding skyscrapers. Just be realistic, it's not the ritz Carlton and it's not a cookie cutter chain hotel either, this is a small operation and you get what you pay for here. I'll be staying here again on my next visit to Miami. read more

I have experienced better hotels. Whats Wrong: 1. My room telephone didnt work. $118/Night FOR A DECORATIVE PHONE. 2. They have mattress box springs beds. They are soft but firm. 3. Only 2 small pillows 4.The layout is weird for a hotel looks like a really small studio with tile floors. Challenge: Most of the staff is spanish speaking so it will help if you speak a little spanish. Whats right 1. The staff is genuine 2. Delivered extra pillow 3. Working on phone issues. 4. The location is great. read more

I stayed at this hotel with a friend of mine when we went down for Ultra Music Festival, and I would say it was a great decision. This hotel is a great budget option. Don't get me wrong, it's not a 5 star hotel, the rooms are a tad small, but the staff was really nice! The best part about this hotel is that it's cheaper than all the counterparts in the area, as for Miami Music Week prices skyrocket up to $500-600 a night in neighboring places. Best part about this location is that it's only a 5 minute walk from Bayfront Park, and probably 7-8 minutes from the AA Arena... that is AWESOME... That completely takes out the factor of having to pay for an UBER every day or renting a car, which saves a lot of money. All in all, It's a great hotel if you're going to Ultra, or an event at AA arena and aren't going to be in the hotel much except for sleeping. Already booked my reservation here for Ultra 2018. read more

Please don't waste the money here. The whole place smells like a toilet. This is the kind of hotel where if you go into the shower you come out dirtier than when you went in. The windows don't work, the bathroom sink is 5 feet from your bed. I feel like I caught something by being in here. LISTEN TO REVIEWS! Don't pay attention to the pictures they post, it's all to hide the nasty room you are in. read more

Tbh this hotel should have better reviews. This hotel is exactly as pictured. Super unique lobby and decor, it is older, but is clean and has everything you'd need. If your looking for an affordable, clean place to crash in a great location this is it! Walked to the American Airlines arena and bayside easily. Brickell isn't too far either. Parking lot right next to the hotel easily accessible, $20 for the day. Make sure to have cash because they do ask for $5 key deposit when you check in. It is not your modern hotel. It's old school and smaller. Stayed one night and would definitely book again. Most affordable place in dt miami! Cheaper and better location than any place on Air bnb. read more

I wish I could give this less than a star but unfortunately Yelp hasn't come up with that feature yet. First things first: when the guy who drives the airport shuttle asks what hotel you're going to and you tell him "Miami Sun" and he looks at your over his glasses and says "Miami Sun!?" and you cautiously reply "yes..." and he looks at your boyfriend then back to you and says "I hope you love him. Because you won't later on tonight." NOT A GOOD SIGN. My boyfriend had booked this hotel because we were staying over for less than 24hrs so that we were close to the Miami Port to board our cruise ship the next morning...I would have rather SLEPT AT THE PORT than stay at this place. We get dropped off on the corner and my boyfriend's face immediately turned to a look of "crap. what did i do." We go inside and there is another set of people trying to book their room...from what I overheard, the woman had lost their reservation. One guy was on the computer frantically looking for another hotel but not coming up with anything. Soon it got to be our turn to check in and I wish that I could have said "NOPE SORRY. SMELL YA LATER" but there are signs EVERYWHERE in bold print stating NO REFUNDS. So we check in, and turn to get into the elevator that I am pretty sure could have killed us if one thing had gone wrong and get up to the 3rd floor. Our room was in 309 waaay in the back corner and then we opened the door... There was one full sized bed, a desk, a chair, and that was it. Basically a scene for an upcoming CSI episode. I scarily sat on the bed and surveyed my surroundings...the closet was crooked (please, tell me HOW that could happen...), there were marks all over the mirror (I don't even know of what), I nearly knocked myself out because of the TV hanging OVER the bed (if it had fallen in the middle of the night, my boyfriend and I would have had broken ankles), the windows were cloudy and had bars (we were on the 3rd floor...WHY DID THERE NEED TO BE BARS?!), the bathroom door handle/lock was put on backwards, and the toilet in the "bathroom" was TOUCHING THE WALL. Which, for my boyfriend who had to use the bathroom was easy peasy. For me? Let's just say I mastered my squatting. I slept in socks, SHOES, sweatpants, sweatshirt, a winter hat, and a scarf because I was afraid of getting bed bugs (just think: We're in Miami, its 76 degrees, the AC in the room was jacked up and not making a difference...I was making myself suffer but for good reason.). My boyfriend and I also made a pact when we first walked in that we weren't showering. It really was THAT bad. Let's just say, I'll be booking the hotels from here on out. We stayed in this hotel on 02/13/14. read more

This is one of the few places to stay in Downtown Miami under $100 a night. It is an absolute budget hotel idea when you on a budget and just need a clean room with no bedbugs. It needs to be rated and compared to similar budget properties, other reviewers expected the Holiday Inn or Marriott. It is not. This is a legit option when here solo for work or a conference. Hotel fit that requirement and was very clean. Staff was nice. Only legit issue was the shower lacked a soap tray. Very annoying. read more

While I would not recommend this hotel for honeymooners, it is the perfect place if you just need an affordable place to crash and only the basic amenities. I too was afraid based on the reviews of the place, but I successfully stayed four nights and have absolutely nothing to complain about. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Miami area and need only somewhere to rest your head. Friendly staff, great location, and it saves you money. read more

Definitely do not recommend this hotel. We booked this hotel only because of location and price. Shortly before our trip on a Cruise line, Covid 19 breaks out and our Cruise gets cancelled by the Cruise line, along with our plane tickets getting cancelled by the airlines. Everyone providing a full refund. EXCEPT MIAMI SUN HOTEL. Instead this hotel decided that they feel entitled to keeping our money, knowing that the entire country was shut down by the US government, knowing that this situation is and was completely out of our control. But instead of being understanding and honorable, instead MIAMI SUN HOTEL feels they have a right to keep our money in the amount of a whopping $112.35 Pretty pathetic that a hotel such as MIAMI SUN HOTEL, would rather steal our money and damage their reputation over a lousy $112.35. Obviously this hotel is ran by inconsiderate a...holes and is not in tune at all with the rest of the world and the suffering that is going on. Anyone planning on staying at this hotel, I'd caution you to be careful. These people don't give a sh.t about the rest of the world and now have lost a customer for life, along with hopefully many others. read more

Why do I do this to myself? I had to be cheap and we suffered here. Its grimy, super sketch, and the area sucks for food. The front desk was nice and its an upgrade from a hostel but not far. It's not awful, we survived, but I might upgrade to a $120/night hotel. read more

Im1 star because you have to rate it something but if I'm being honest this was one of the worse hotels I've ever stayed at in Miami. The pics may look cute but this place is tragic. The elevator feels like it's ready to take its last breath at any given moment. When I got to the room it smelled like mildew 2, the ac began to leak when I turned it on, the cleaning lady was extremely rude. Won't be staying here again today read more
