"The hotel doesn't have parking in the premises, but there is a paid public parking just half a block away from the Hotel, so it's very convinient and I would say that's inexpensive as well."

“Hotel Ocean's prime spot on Ocean Drive puts you right in the heart of South Beach, making it ideal for those seeking vibrant nightlife and easy beach access. While the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, I'd advise light sleepers to pack earplugs. Overall, it's a solid choice for experiencing the best of Miami Beach.”

bright room spacious room modern design noisy room internal patio live music

The room was bright and spacious. I especially liked its modern superior design. Staff were helpful. They let me drop my luggage before check-in time. This freed me to explore the city while they prepared the room.

The rooms are very NOISY. My room was above the internal patio with the restaurant. The restaurant has very loud live music until late. Sleeping with earplugs was a challenge.
