“My brother and I and our families loved it!!!”
Just got back from a weekend at Clifton. We went with another family. All three rooms were amazing. Very nicely appointed, clean, modern and each had a huge wall mounted TV in each. Bathrooms were very modern, clean and nice. They have this eco-friendly thing going on there...actually kinda nice...ie soaps and stuff that are environmentally friendly. Internet was available throughout property...wired and wireless. Its sort of free...ie its included in this surcharge on all rooms. ( Think 12.50 daily) Staff was very friendly. The alarm clock radios in the room have an ipod dock. Each room had a small fridge you can use. Hotel is much better than we expected. Very good value for money. Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Property is centrally located (ie very close to all the South Beach action) and is a block from the beach. There is no pool right on the property. They share with a sister property a couple blocks away. We didnt see the pool since we went to the beach everyday. It was a great experience and recommend it to all. Definitely will go back there next time in South Beach.
“not a bad deal if you don't expect too much and are not staying for long”
The hotel is in a good location and has decent service if you don't want to stay at the pricier and more posh hotels. Staff was very friendly, the guy at the front quickly checked us in after short paperwork and explained that the extra resort fee is unfortunately mandatory..Bellhop took all the luggage upstairs and introduced us to the room. Which is pretty compact, but as you know, if you go for a weekend you won't spend much time in your room. The room was clean and the beds felt comfortable enough, but after the second night I did encountered an unusual backache. I see some efforts to show that this is a eco-hotel, but maybe it was more so in the construction or converting it to green than it's operation. But I guess having the rooms really small helps. The showerhead is a great feature, although it's likely you'll use a lot of water after a long night. AC works well, the walls were thin, but not so bad as to be annoying and everyone in my room got sound sleep. Lobby is small and basically features a small bar that you can pre-party at and many people were there right before a huge limo took the group to the clubs. I definitely recommend for 2 or 3 nights if you get a decent deal, recommend for friends and couples, not much for families or seniors unless it's off-season.
“Good vibes and good price”
Clifton is good for young people trying to stay in a good area at a reasonable price. 13th and Collins is an amazing location next to all the bars/clubs/strip clubs/hot beach scene. If you are old farts looking for a relaxing luxurious vacation, the Clifton is not for you. If you are a young party-er who intends to spend more on alcohol then on his hotel room then this place is perfect. Cheap enough to afford but nice enough to bring back a lady from the club.
“Very pleasant stay one block away from the beach!”
Not a high-end hotel perhaps but definitely decent if you mostly want to be outside and don't plan on spending too much time in your hotel room. Location was great. We were not bothered by noise during our stay. The shower was fantastic. The pool at the sister hotel one block away was just what we needed with our young children, we were the only ones in it !!! (perhaps because a block away you are on the beach!). The staff was very nice and helpful. There is a municipal parking garage on the block (1$/hour) that is cheaper than street parking. The hotel provides beach and pool towels. A block away we found a great sandwich place, called "la sandwicherie". Two drawbacks: lighting is poor in the room and we couldn't open windows because the wall from another building was REALLY close, so it makes the room a little grim. Also, the AC was either blasting freezing air, or the room temperature got hot and humid, we never really found something in between. Overall, it was a great experience and we would go again.
“A little better than expected”
My stay was a little better than expected, mostly because of the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the hotel. I expected a small room, so I wouldn't complain about it, but after living in it for 4 days I would have preferred a slightly larger room. I like the fact that the Clifton is a LEED Gold certified hotel. I am making plans to stay here again on my next visit.
“Great option”
Great property, great location the only thing that needs improvement are the lights in the room, lighting was poor.
“Clean, practical and good location but a bit noisy”
In general the hotel is good considering the price of the room wich for southbeach is low. The hotel is a bit noisy, specially if you are in the first floor close to the lobby. I had to catch a flight at 7.00 am, so the night before asked reception to turn off the music from the bar at 1.30 AM and they said the music would be turned off at 4.00 AM. A bit contradictory if what you expect in a hotel is to rest. However, above all, the rest of my stay was ok.
“Too many hidden charges”
While the room was nice, and the location convenient, I would never recommend this hotel. There were a lot of extra fees that no one told us about until we were checking out. Also, whereost hotels will take your credit card info as a precaution, they put a hold on our card without telling us. Which won't be released until almost 2 weeks after we've already checked out. Also, when I asked why we weren't told in advance, they were very rude. Just keep in mind to add about $20 to the nightly rate if you're looking for a deal.
