The hotel

This value-for-money hotel is ideal for groups or young couples. Rooms are simplistic with a contemporary style featuring custom-made furnishings and exclusive artwork. To help start your day, enjoy a coffee on the outdoor terrace and watch the streets of Miami Beach come to life. Conveniently located in the Art Deco district, it makes for a great base to explore the countless attractions on your doorstep, including the shops and restaurants of Lincoln Road. You're also just a stones throw away from the beach, and when you get there, the hotel's private area with dedicated beach chairs and towels are waiting for you to relax upon. And did you know, this is the home of Miami Beach's first vegan restaurant! Full Bloom Vegan is right next to the lobby for you to enjoy creative plant-based dishes on the terrace in the sun.

DO. NOT. STAY. HERE. I made a reservation as a surprise for my friend's birthday during the black friday deals and received a confirmation email right away. One week later, out of nowhere they sent me an email saying the card was declined and instantly canceled my reservation without giving me the chance to change the payment method! I had no idea… Read more

One week later, out of nowhere they sent me an email saying the card was declined and instantly canceled my reservation without giving me the chance to change the payment method! I had no idea the payment did not go through and when I called, they told me they had indeed cancelled the reservation and I would now have to pay the normal rate. WORST customer service EVER. It is not worth it to go through the struggle, find another hotel! Read less

I walked in and immediately booked another place to stay. I will fight for a refund - but the room was so disgusting I couldn’t sit down. The photos are a complete bait and switch to the reality. Nothing was clean. The sofa in the 1 bedroom looked like they found it on the street. It was dark and gloomy. If you care about location, cleanliness,… Read more

My experience at the Crest Hotel & Suites was not great. I spent four nights there and I wish I had chosen a different place. The only positive thing about this hotel is that it's near the beach and some nice places to eat at Lincoln.

My experience at the Crest Hotel & Suites was not great. I spent four nights there and I wish I had chosen a different place. The only positive thing about this hotel is that it's near the beach and some nice places to eat at Lincoln. The hotel doesn't have its own parking, so I had to shell out extra money for a public garage ($20/day) and walk for three blocks to get to the hotel. The room was not clean, with dirty spots on the carpet. The AC was loud and ineffective. The staff was friendly and helpful and they told me about a spot on the beach where I could get free seats because of their partnership. Read less

I scheduled a wake-up call as I had to be at the airport by 5 am and it didn't happen, when I asked the receptionist what happened, he said: I forgot. I sent an email to the hotel and I never got a reply.

My current stay at your hotel is deeply disappointing. I encountered several issues that left me frustrated and dissatisfied. Firstly, the receptionist attempted to double charge me for the security deposit, falsely claiming the initial payment didn't go through. Thankfully, my bank alerted me to the transaction, preventing a second payment. Secondly, the room bore no resemblance to the photos advertised. The stark difference was disheartening and misleading. Lastly, despite the website indicating availability, the receptionist refused to change my room event if i proposed to pay an additional fee. This contradicted the information provided and was unhelpful. I hope the management addresses these issues promptly and improves the guest experience. Read less
