Hotel The Casa Grande Beach House (Miami Beach, USA)

Guests found the suites to be spacious, tastefully decorated and quite convenient, since they liked having a kitchen with a microwave, a fridge and utensils available, which they stated helps cut down on dining expenses. They also liked the functioning air-conditioning, since the summers in Miami Beach tend to get quite hot.

The hotel is an ocean-front hotel, so you only have to walk a few steps to reach the turquoise ocean. Guests appreciated being in the center of bustling Miami Beach with all of its shops and restaurants, and they pointed out that you can walk to Lincoln Road Mall, downtown, several museums and golf courses in less than 25 minutes.

Guests found the front-desk employees to be helpful, friendly and quite knowledgeable in terms of local entertainment and sightseeing.

Those guests staying in rooms that haven't been renovated yet found the furniture to be outdated and damaged, the carpets were stained, and the ceiling and walls could use a fresh coat of paint. The bathrooms had some evidence of mildew particularly in the shower area and on the ceiling, but guests pointed out that all of the kitchenettes were at least renovated already.

Several guests noted that the weekly housekeeping service took some getting used to, and that getting extra towels, hair dryers or irons was a bit problematic.

Guests noted that the lobby and the hallways could use a thorough cleaning to remove some of the odor and stains.
