Ocean Surf Hotel

Hotel

I give them one star because the staff was nice. Pictures are not accurate. Where was the food and lounge? We did not have a tub? We had a shower with a half wall instead of a shower door/curtain. Read all, do not assume the room comes with anything like a hair dryer, microwave, coffee pot or clothes rod in the closet, no need for hangers. We got back to the room @ 10pm no wash cloths, had to wait for housekeeping to come. Oh let me warn you there is an extra building next door that you might be staying in. They say they have black out drapes/curtains, not in my room just pull down blinds. The beach is in walking distance from the hotel. I thought it was on the beach. They have tile floors (which I did like) but did not provide a broom and dust pan to sweep up any sand that you might drag in. So their website and pictures are all very miss leading. I have stayed in many different places but none next to two condemned buildings. The ONLY good I saw was the Turkish restaurant a blook away (on the corner) fabulous food and feshf apple juice, so good. So I do not recommend this place.

The only good thing about this hotel is the location, the service is bad, starting at the desk, maids. The windows of my room had broken blinds that I had to put a towel to cover. The carpet of the hallway. Needs cleaning or change. I do not recommend it, neither price nor quality. There are better hotels in the area. I stayed here for being part of the package I bought, without knowing how bad it is.

Where do I begin? Hotel does not have hotel parking so we have to pay for parking on the street. Once we got to our room the door handle was broken and we have to slam it just to close. The bathroom was so outdated and there we no outlets to charge our phone not was there a phone in the room. I guess since there is no room service to call. The TV was a 1992 Magnavox and fridge did not work. No ice or vending machine for snacks. The ac was falling apart as it was small house unit. We paid 198 for 2 nights which is not worth it at all.

Simple but large and clean accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the beach. Very good Wifi. Very good shopping just behind the hotel for self-catering (warm food to take cubans in the supermarket at the crossroads). Great is the closet room with rod and enough space for the suitcases. One point deduction for the museum-ready TV without sufficient program selection. Air conditioning a bit noisy.

Arrival yesterday… for now no problem. 2nd night the hotel is very noisy awakened at 3h40 by a loud thud… plus our room overlooks a huge fan (surely the air conditioning of the hotel d next door) and it is really not top. The impression of sleeping with a bus running under the window.

Arrival yesterday… for now no problem. 2nd night the hotel is very confusing woke up at 3h40 by a loud thud… plus our room given on a huge fan (surely the AC of the hotel d next door) and c is really not top.

Great location on Miami Beach.

Horrible rooms all very old pity because even if 6km distant from Oceania drive the location is great.

This place is terrible. Workers were mean anytime questions were asked. The rooms are filthy and there was no hot water for the shower. There was no microwave, and the fridge barely worked (wasn’t getting cold enough. ) Had to throw out some of our food. Bed was uncomfortable and squeaky and my pillow had blood on it. AND to top it off I left with BED BUG BITES. Do not come here.

This Hotel is a few steps away from the beach. You'll get free chairs, beach towels and sunscreen. I got the cheapest room and it included a fridge, clean bathrooms, powerful air conditioner and daily cleaned sheets for beds and bathroom towels. Staff is very friendly and they let you leave bags in if you come very early before check in. No carpets, makes sense since you are coming from the beach and who would want to vaccum so much sand? Tiles are always clean and security is great. Highly recommended. Everything else like shops, bars and restaurants are very close.

You get what you pay for. You can't see the beach, even tho it says beachfront. This is no cable, only 2 channels. You don't even get washcloths but they give u plenty towels, even give u towels for the beach. Crazy I know right. An the rooms doesn't have a microwave, no phones in the rooms either. The Wi-Fi barely works. There's no free parking for hotel guess. Only good thing staff are nice an the lobby smells good. Hotel can definitely use some updating.

There is not much cleanliness, no breakfast, no pool, no cream rinse for the hair, the hot water has Q heating who is staying, not working well the safe. The good thing is Q is facing the beach and the people who attend is quite friendly.

Beautiful view of ocean… the room itself needs a uplift. Furniture is out of date, weird smell and squeaky uncomfortable bed. I didn't even stay past 4 pm I was terrified of getting bed bugs. Only thing great about this place is Pamela the front desk manager. She's super sweet and very catering.

Is missing things but nothing better to feel at home and so I feel every time I go I love that place.

Nice and cheap. You open the door and you're in front of the beach. Recommended. Parking lot x US $1 an hour!

It is located in the area of Miami beach and is good because it is all very close! But the hotel is very old, its doors pink, the elevator is an antique, bathrooms, carpets from hallways, very old and worn, except beds, sheets, room floor, are relatively fine! It looks like it's all very dirty in the hallways, but what this is old. At the front desk, the Lord's attention was good, helpful and guiding, in terms of parking, payment, form and place to park! It's OK just to sleep and it's a shame for the area where it is located, very close to the beach, a Walgreens a block away, hamburgers and shakes for sale also a block away, but when you walk around the area, you see very strange people with strange skills, it's scary and doesn't feel safe at all!

In season. Average. Price quality is a bit expensive. Very friendly staff.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Wi-Fi doesn't work half the time. Charged a resort fee no pool but they offer little baby beach towels. Rooms are dirty. No towel rack its pulled off the wall. Bathroom fan does not work. Had to use the lobby bathroom so I didn't stink up the room. This place is a joke. Pictures on website are from next door. If I could add pictures I would.

Nice location and good price. Not very nice in if the hotel but the good service, the price and the location give a positive balance.

Excellent quaint spot on the beach with amazing sightseeing from the balcony of the rooms. Walk right to the beach in one minute. Plenty of food, shopping, and banking around the corner. Free trolley around Miami one block away. Fully accessible by car or bus too.

If you want to do beach… It is ideal as it is well frete to the beach… It saddles and towels the establishment is somewhat old and sloppy. No Breakfast service. The location is good.

Pretty nice room and a relaxing patio to relax. Price is a little high to not have any coffee or breakfast in the morning. I didn't get a remote for the TV.

Attention. On time and excellent. Location. First-class…

A place to avoid photos on Booking have nothing to do with reality.

First of all, it's not a luxury hotel. However its beach front location is fantastic. While other hotels would charge you an eye of the face, this simple hotel gives you the same scenery for much less. It is old and has no luxury, but it is clean and quiet. Nearby restaurants are much cheaper than in other parts of the south or further north. They could offer breakfast or have a restaurant to improve the service.

Great location, very rocked off and not clean but for 1 night OK.

Beio, very good service, very friendly small rooms but very cozy.

Loved staying here. Definitely want to go back. Patricia at the front desk was so helpful. Couldn't have ask for a better stay for New Year's. Thank you everyone at Ocean Surf Hotel. Hope to see you soon.

Room size are ok. Best part about this hotel is location. It is just opposite to the beach. Worse part is there is no parking provided by hotel. You need to park your vehicle outside using paid parking. There is no restaurant in the hotel. Giving 3 stars for the location. We enjoyed sunset and sunrise as the beach is very near to the hotel.

Very friendly hotel staff but honestly very old and careless the bathroom curtain and the tub were a total disgust I would not recommend it is a pity Porq its location is ideal for a few days of beach.

Where should I start… positive = Internet… it was fast and stable. Thumbs up!
Negative: So the pictures from the website have to be old, since it doesn't look like this anymore. According to reception we had one of the good/renovated rooms. It worked for us very uncomfortable/cold… and the LCD TV could not change anything. Did not feel like on holiday special EHR in a youth hostel. Our room floor was glued, the mattress was already so located that you as a couple always rolled into the central center, there was no hair dryer (according to recipes. Only 10 available for the whole hotel) … these were still the things that you could see over with a lot of humor and holiday joy…
If you check in here you don't need to hope for cleanliness… We found new hair every day from the cleaning on the bed, bath and towels… After we complained, the bedding was changed the next day… however, we had new hair in and On the bed. We got new towels every day, but they always contained stains and hair! In spite of washing!
The cleaners were nice and greeted friendly, even if they were not powerful in the English/German language. We crept into the feeling that management wanted to save money at all corners and edges… We also noticed other guests who complained about the friendliness of the reception. We asked for a hair dryer on three consecutive days, which led to absolute antipathy.

Perfect location for the beach. The room and the bed were very clean. Pamela at the desk was very friendly and helpful and had a big smile. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again. The hotel and rooms have recently been updated.

Simple — Renovated clean WLAN — good location — more I don't need — good.

Dirty rooms bugs all over the bedsheets no way I stay here I’m going right now to other nice fancy hotel.

Simply refurbished clean WLAN — more I don't need — good.

Rude staff. Rooms looked nothing like the photos. So noisy banging all night. Very unpleasant experience.

Unbeatable at the price level.
Close to many shops.
A few steps from the beach.
Hotel retro style, facilities: safe, Wi-Fi, fridge, iron, hairdryer.

Staff is really friendly, housekeeping keeps place pretty tidy & if you are in need of something they have to supply room they will get. Maintenance is pretty quick about getting issues resolved. They are in the middle of renovations here & when finished it will be really nice. They are also renovating the hotels on each side but it is not really a issue. Besides you are right here at beach witb amazing veiws so that is what you will focus on. Plus you can get a room with a veiw where you actually do not have to get out of bed to see the ocean & watch the sunrise. As far as places to eat just a short stroll around to Collins Avenue & you will find all kinds of different types of food.

Low priced, almost unsanitary Hotel, rude staff.

Lousy they never book, they left me with my family on the outside at 8 pm with paid reservation and made of 1 month ago.

Well I booked this hotel, got there. It was closed. They charged me for both days. They have been reported for fraud and to the BBB because they are not informing anyone of their closing and collecting money. Capital one took care of everything, we disputed the charge. I took pictures proving they were closed and that no one contacted to let us know. If you have reservations here I suggest you contact your bank ASAP.

Friendly. Very basic and clean great location for shops n bars.

It's danky, dirty floors (black patches) on the uneven carpet floor. The elevator shook on its long way going up only 3 floors. The rooms are bare bones calling it basic would be a step up from it. Don't expect a flat screen in your room they got a old Zenith Tv (enough said) no Wi-Fi for rooms only the lobby oddly enough. The bathroom is barely clean hard water stains are very relevant wouldn't recommend this to a enemy.

This hotel was very nice and cozy. The beds were very comfy and clean. It wasn't a top luxurious hotel, but it had a clean room which was all I needed. The plus is that you can walk to the beach in 2 minutes! The room had a mini fridge and an old school block TV with no cable. There is no microwave in the rooms but if you ask the staff they will let you in their break room. Very friendly and they had beach towels, chairs, and a few big umbrellas for the beach.

DO NOT STAY HERE! If I could give it no stars, I absolutely would. It's super disgusting in there! The rooms are filthy and nasty. I can't explain how filthy they were. Don't waste your money here! biggest regret ever and it caused us to waste a night of our vacation looking for another hotel. For less amount of money we actually stayed at a fancy hotel in downtown Miami. Do yourself a favor and do not book here unless you want to lay in a bed bug infested bed.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't have put a star.
The only good thing is the proximity to the beach.
Otherwise no effort on the part of the staff regarding the housekeeping, cleanliness and I pass.
I strongly advise against it.

Definitely not what I expected. Good place for frat guys to stay next to the beach. Was put in the next building over and the only view is of the next building with the windows boarded up.

The room was okay, not very clean. Some hair remnants of previous occupants. The furniture was old and everything was functional, the room had a CRT T. V. The fridge was old with stains on the outside. Room had walk-in closet and locker, clean towels and toiletries. Didn't have hair dryer or coffee machine. The beach is accessible from the hotel. The hotel provides complimentary beach towels.

I got to admit I was a little scared from some of the reviews but I can tell you it was a very nice stay. Older but nice, great rate, beds are comfy, and clean, walk right on to the beach. Plenty of places to eat in the area. We Stayed in room 318 we loved it! My 2 daughter and me and the hubby stayed here 2 nights plenty of hot water in the AM and PM. Lovely room, room service was on point, room was clean and smelled very nice. Fresh towels when we returned from the beach was able to watch Sunrise right from room. Balcony faces beach. I can't say enough we will surely be back to stay at this diamond in the rough. I will share pics of the room. We were given a great rate for an upgrade and the resort fee 10.12 a day played upfront includes as many new clean beach towels as needed 2 chairs and an umbrella but I will say this, make sure to grab chair and umbrella earlier in the morning they go quick. Oh also they will put a hold of a 100.00 to your card that's returned after your stay that is understandable. Parking is free from 6pm to 8am and after that is a dollar a hour but 3 short blocks up you can find parking free all day and night. Wi-Fi is spotty in rooms but is good in lobby and covered porch area. But was one of the reasons I chose to come so the family would spend more time together instead of on electronics.

Let me warn you about this hotel. This was the cheapest I found in Miami Beach so pretty much I couldn't expect much because for what I pay right. Some people say you get what you pay for. But this was the worse experience I had. The first thing my friend and I did was park in the only taxi cap parking they have right in front of the hotel. No one not even the front desk warn us about this. So if come very late like we did and tired just make sure you read carefully and don't park in the taxi parking they have. They towed the car and the only thing we got from the front desk was do you need the phone number for the towing company Really!. Also we ask for no housekeeping during our stay and yet they still came inside the room early in the morning to see if we were checking out. The rooms don't have private balconies we had to share it with the room next door. They have connecting doors. Some housekeeping ladies were very nice but front desk, all of them give you the worse customer service. While checking in Melvin was on the phone the whole time. Like I said before I know we didn't pay much for been near the ocean but still we didn't stay for free either so I think I still deserve some good customer service. Overall Run away form this hotel. Its crappy, very bad with parking, bad customer service and didn't feel safe at all. So I wont come back here that's for sure. And good luck if you try calling the hotel no one ever picks up the phone.

Worst hotel iv ever come across. If I could give — 10 stars I would! Place smells like black mold. This has to be a health and safety violation. The floors are wet and slimy. Our bed had brown goo smeared on the side of the mattress. Disgusting much? Oh and None of the power outlets worked except for one! I had to ware sandals in the shower due to fear of getting foot fungus. I'm not over exaggerating either. It's over priced even at $100 this place should be shut down. I'm warning you stay far far away.

Just to stay a couple of days and visit Miami. It has the basics.

Though their own reservation department confirmed and Travelocity confirmed that hotel was 18 + we were turned away after having paid. We were offered no other options or assistance for staying anywhere. We are still waiting for a refund because both places are saying the refund is on the other party. Of course it was a weekend where even all the hostels are booked up. Very disappointed in both the hotel, and Travelocity. So now because there are no rooms in the entire city that are not booked or are 21 + we are driving home, without our money, exhausted — missing a meeting with the University I was down here to tour. Awesome.

I dont get it why they dont give u a bag of krak when you check in…

Very bad experience staying one night in this hotel. Dirty room. Dirty air conditioning inside the room making huge noise, could not sleep well whole night. No Wi-Fi, no breakfast.

Very old decor. Mattresses need replacing. Hotel under major renovation. More of an old motel feel. Great location. Pleasant, personable, and welcoming staff.

By far the WORST experience I have ever had in My entire life! The room was DISGUSTING! Literally DISGUSTING… The linen was dingy and gross! My pillow case had mold on it and the shower was FULL OF MOLD… The mini fridge was rusted, I wouldn't dare put anything in it! This really really ruined my Valentine's day! Horrible horrible horrible! I would NEVER rent from this place again! I'd rather sleep in my car! I honestly wish I didn't have to leave a star. It's not even deserving of one star!

The location, cleaning or security are its virtues. The price is affordable.

Run far from this hotel. If you happen to book it through hotwire find another room. It was full of mold, no hot water, dirty floors, dirty linen, the worst blanket I've ever used, an old television and a congregation of crack heads outside at night. I didn't feel safe this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The old thing that was good about the hotel was the location near the beach but I would have rather slept in a car than this sketchy hotel. Never again, but you get what you pay for.

AVOID is the only advice I would say Reciptionist is total dumb Not only us, but the group who checked in before us had a hard time to check in. We were offered a room with clogged toilet and the reciptionist then asked us to clean the toilet ourselves. No alternate room offered. Pathetic service and behaviour. The person at front just acted dumb and pretended he did not understand anything. Do not go to this hotel.

Pros: > We had good service; the ladies at the register were very nice and gave us more towels when we asked for some. > Very close to the beach; convenient location to a lot of local restaurants and shops. > The beds were actually pretty comfortably firm; I didn't wake up sore, and actually had good quality sleep. > Breakfast is served from 7 — 9 AM, though the Days Inn next door serves it past that time if 9 is too early for you. Cons: > Walls are thin, and you can hear a lot of what's going on next door, as well as from some of the other rooms down the hallway. > Cold shower water; didn't heat up at all while we were there. > Could only see the building beside us out the window. Nothing special, but nothing terrible, either. I'm not sure it was quite worth $124 a night, though!

No ventilation, very smallest bed room, twin size bed, crv tv, phone doesn't work, rusted and stinky refrigerator, very very smallest bath room, bath room door doesn't close if closed doesn't open, no clothes hangers, no chairs, no table, no coffee machine, no kitchen, TV remote works at specific angle within a specific distance, very oldest tea bags, expired/color changed milk, IT STINKS EVERYWHERE, TO COVER THAT UP THEY USE HIGH CHEMICAL SCENTS. I would not want to pay more than $30 per day for such accommodation. The only good thing is the location, it faces the beach, but the beach is not so good, a lot of weed, may not be easy for kids as the depth starts from your 5th step.

The hotel is very ugly, frightening…
Good predisposition of the receptionists.
Basic breakfast.
Good location.

Got our reservation wrong (booked a single bed, got a room with two twins. ) Their solution was to place us next door in their nightmare property next door, the Hawaii Hotel. Hope that doesn't happen to you — we rebooked elsewhere as soon as we stepped into our room there. Ocean Surf rooms are pretty outdated with barebones amenities.

The hotel is awful!. The smell is horrible… all rooms have the same smell… deco and also odor is deco… not clean it from the 40?. Te smell is impregnated in clothing and things, and you!. The service is nice and the location but nothing compensates for… do not recommend it… for nothing!

NEVER EVER GO THERE, I booked 5 days and left right after checking in and after knew the fact, first of all they charged me surface fees 50$, 10$ for each day and I dont even what that mean but whatever, I paid, then they dont have parking for the customers to park their cars and I had to pay hourly to park front of the Motel even though the maximum parking time period before renew is 2 hours, so you got to renew your parking every two hours, they are so rude too, I didnt get refund for the rest of the nights but I didnt care I left this horrible place and booked in different motel to feel that I'm being human.

Excellent hotel good service.

We like the art deco styling and that it´s close to the beach. The stuff speaks spanish, only a little english.

This is the best hotel in the world. They have the cleanest carpets, best atmosphere, cleanest sheets, and all the television channels you could ever want. Screw everyone who says otherwise, this hotel is the greatest, and offers the friendliest service, tastiest breakfast, and most modern Wi-Fi there is. 11/10 would stay here again.

This is a 2 star hotel expected to pay a 2 star hotel when you book it. Has a good location however the rooms are very dated and worn and some dirt and stains can be found.

Wow, had a great time got exactly what I paid for. A room directly on the beach, Old 60 era everything, good friendly desk service, clean sheets (inspected thoroughly) not for the big box Marriott people expecting big box square inspect every corner for proper caulking or OMG I saw a smudge or crack in the wall etc. If you want the original South Beach experience Great place. BUT IF lookin for a resort experience and want to stay in your room with room service May I suggest the Fountainblue Hilton or the Lowes Hotel @ $450 per night. See ya there, G$.

This hotel is absolutely nasty! It is probably compared to a motel in a small town. At first, our key didn't open the door neither could the clerk open it either so we got switched to a smaller room that you had to open with a KEY like a house key. I picked up the phone to call front desk and the phone did not work at all and was from the 1800s. Our floor was dirty, under the bed was not swept. I was honestly scared to lay in the bed, and we also had no iron to iron our clothes. The breakfast was warm juice and milk, muffins that are cheap nasty ones, and cereal that was two bites. Not any positive thing to say about them, they never checked on us or offered more towels (they looked at us like we were crazy when we asked for more towels to shower with). Lastly, our Wi-Fi didn't work. Not even downstairs! Do not stay here, should be avoided at all cost and torn down.

Horrible experience Notting works, as a cop I called the health and inspector. They refused too have me my money altho I spent only 1 hour. Do NOT ENTER this place it's not customer friendly after u figure out who u spent your money on.

This place is horrible! The pictures displayed do not match how the hotel actually looks. The receptionists are rude, the rooms are tiny, and it is not safe. The hotel is run down, and dirty. Also smells very musky, for breakfast they serve toast, tiny prepackaged muffins and if you're lucky a small orange. It is not a family friendly hotel, it is mostly people wanting to party. It's not in a convenient area, is it across the street from the beach? Yes, but that it THE only positive thing about this hotel. To sum it up DO NOT STAY HERE.

I have never been so disgusted walking into a hotel room. The room was filthy to say the least, there were bottle caps on the floor and the ENTIRE hotel stunk horribly. The bathroom wasn't clean, the beds were falling apart, the shower made such a mess all over the entire bathroom and the TV was broken. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my stuff unattended and couldn't wait to check out. Horrible experience. When it comes to hotels, pay more. I will never sacrifice cleanliness and safety for money again.

Quality is very good price!

The very pretty area, but while he sat in the bathroom I despaired of the above, equal back again.
