Review summary

Powered by AI
The Betsy Hotel, located ideally on Ocean Drive in South Beach, offers guests access to beach amenities, including beach chairs and umbrellas. The rooftop pool area is a highlight, providing good views and a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's restaurant, while generally well-regarded, may not always be the best choice for breakfast according to some. Some rooms are located in different buildings, requiring guests to use two elevators to reach them.

friendly staffcomplimentary loungesmall roomsdisappointing pool
The resort is located on the north end of South Beach. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The live music in the lobby bar each evening was AMAZING!!! The hotel is also dog friendly, that's a plus. There was also a short walk to the beach where complimentary lounge chairs and umbrellas were provided.
I found that the rooms were very small. The rooftop pool was disappointing. I got upgraded, but the bathroom was still so small, the door had to be shut to even fit in there. This was not what I expected.

The hotel's location proved convenient.
My stay wasn't fantastic. The assigned room had a noticeable damp smell. The furniture upholstery featured stains and hair. These conditions detracted from the overall experience.

i liked the live music in the lobby a lot. local artists played, and it made the atmosphere very nice. the staff were also very helpful, especially when i needed something extra.
The room i had was very small, it wasn't really what i expected given the price. also, the old tap in the shower didn't give cold water properly. It was fixed a bit, but it never really worked right.
