The Stiles Hotel

This was a great place to stay in Miami Beach! Perfect location and the staff was super friendly. The room was more than expected and clean. We stayed in the penthouse suite and at an amazing price. There was a $ 42 charge for parking everyday and it did take at least 20 minutes to retrieve the car. Besides that I definitely plan on staying there again.

Let me start with all the positives:
Lobby and the welcome from the staff was very nice. There was plenty of staff to help out! We got there at 10:30 and were told that check out was at noon, so we were told we could leave our bags and either use the pool or get complimentary chairs and towels for the beach until a room was ready. Right at 1:00, like we were told, we got to check in early! Michelle and Ray were very helpful and pleasant! Our room, 107, was larger than most we have stayed in in South Beach in the past. The toiletry that was provided in the bathroom was very good. Very eco friendly. The closet was huge and the desk area, night stands and armoire were all very roomy and well placed. There was also a couch, but not sure if it was a sleeper or not as we really didn’t have the need for one. The walls in the room looked like they had been recently painted. The continental breakfast was better than most. The granola was homemade and delicious!
Now the downsides:
Broken window taped up. Stains on the carpet (everywhere). The grout patchwork in the bathroom was not very good looking. The dangling cords from the mounted TV to the floor was shoddy looking. Our room was overlooking the alley which was very loud during the morning and throughout the day. The AC unit was loud, and sounded like an air compressor, and the overall décor was not that nice.
All that said, if the price was right, I would come back! I have stayed in much worse.

This was awful. Our sink got clogged at 12 am and our sink was clogged. A staff member came up to fix it and wasn’t able to. We asked to change our room bc we needed to be able to wash our hands and brush our teeth but the front desk staff told us that the hotel was sold out. Meanwhile there was availability online for tonight. I will NOT come here again. These people are in the hospitality business and should know so much better.

Simply put — very disappointing. My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for our stay in Miami from DC. The picture online made it look very pretty, clean, and modern. While the location is pretty solid,(directly in South Beach) we were really upset to see that it was MUCH different from the photos. Our room was tiny and the bed had sand on it, as well as the bathroom floor. Pools were terribly small and just didn’t look very clean. Immediately after walking into the room, we returned to the lobby, got a refund, and left for a different hotel.
Not worth the cost at all and very misleading.

This charming hotel has some ok and bad reviews what made me almost not to book a night in the same week of Art Basel. I ended up staying 3 nights and today almost 1 week later booked it for tonight.
Manager Michelle and staff friendliness and service were above average and far exceeded my expectations. Its location is perfect, décor is modern, the room was clean and bed was fresh.

This hotel is mediocre at best. The 1 star is because of false charges they attempted to get away with. I stayed 2 nights at this hotel. I was charged $ 360 upon checkin. This covered my stay and a deposit hold. 3 days after checking out I was charged an additional $ 268.04. The general manager has no explanation and struggles with basic math. My invoice doesn’t show these charges or numbers at all. I’ll be disputing the charge with my bank. Watch out for these boutique hotels that fraudulently charge your card in hopes you won’t notice.

I travel a lot, and I have to say this is probably the best hotel I have ever stayed at. It is in a perfect location. This is because it is not too far away from the water and most of the night life. I stayed in one of the suites on the penthouse level because I figured I would treat myself since it was my first trip to Miami. I got to say that I don’t think I have ever slept so well in a hotel before. The view from the balconies is great. I can see the clubs across the street and the pool down below from the main balcony.
Staff is really friendly and helpful. They provided great dinner reservations. Even let me stay in the same suite I had when I decided to stay an extra night. Great people.
Definitely staying here next time I am in Miami.

This was hotel was definitely A-​Ok.
Pros:
1. Semi-​Clean upon arrival (depending on how OCD you are this might be a con LOL)
2. Centrally located in South Beach (Huge plus on location)
3. Friendly staff
4. Not crowded
Cons:
1. Valet Parking 35 $ a night, WARNING: VALET STAFF WILL STEAL SNACKS FROM YOUR VEHICLE
2. Took forever to get our car, they park the cars in a location that seems to not be close by
3. Air is not cold — the room was hot even at night
4. Water in the shower does not get hot — at all
5. No décor
6. TV didn’t work. A technician came out to fix it but it stopped working again so we gave up.
Overall the only reason for the 3-​stars in the location. Everywhere else around this immediate area was a lot more expensive and over priced. Moral of the story, you get what you pay for.

Fantastically located near the beach but away from the loud party hotels in the area. The Stiles rooms are clean and well taken care of. I stayed there last weekend and I loved the convenience of it. I totally would recommend it for those weekend escapes.

There are only five reviews for this hotel, but they were all so strong that this is the first time I feel the Unilocal community disappointed me. :/
This isn’t a bad hotel, but there are just so many flaws that I can’t justify giving this place even three stars.
Valet parking: 32 dollars plus tax per night. You can call for the car from your room and they’ll have it in front for you. But the estimates they give are WILDLY off. One time in particular, they said 20 minutes, but it was more than an hour. I eventually called again, and they said «yes, the car is downstairs, just got here.» But previously they called the room to let me know my car had arrived. The inconsistency was frustrating.
Pools: 2 very small pools, and a similarly-​sized jacuzzi in the middle. The jacuzzi doesn’t have very many streams to relax. One the first day, one of the pools was dirty.
Gold bar: closed during the week it seemed.
Housekeeping/​front desk: forgot my two bottles of water. Called the front desk, and they said they’d have the water up to my room. Almost two hours later, nothing. So on my way out, I tell them again, and they say housekeeping will send up water. After coming back later that night… still no water in my room. Call them again, and they said «no one was in the room», so had to come back down to the front desk, where they had the bottles in a cabinet. So frustrating for such a minor thing (and yes, when the water is part of the 15-​dollar a day resort fee, of course I’m going to use it!)
Beach towels: very small and not clean.
Room: the air conditioning never really worked well. Not that it didn’t work at all, but I would set the thermostat at 65 and it never got cold in the room. I could also see the water condensation from the AC vent. Also, the AC was very loud.
Shower: the hot water was very inconsistent. Sometimes I had a good amount of hot water, and sometimes the water never got hotter than lukewarm.
Again, this place wasn’t terrible — the room was clean (a bit small but i was solo traveling so it was fine for me), bed was comfortable, staff were all very friendly. Also, I got a decent rate for this place (about 90 bucks a night, which is great considering the location), and the lobby was well-​decorated and had ice water available. But this is definitely a case of «meh, I’ve experienced better»

Pros:
A romantic restaurant in the hotel with dim ambience, equally inviting courtyard/​Jacuzzi area, classy outdoor dining, clean/​comfortable rooms, a block from the beach, big granite shower, very friendly and accommodating staff.
Cons:
Parking is about $ 35 a night, the room we had was rather small, even for the 2 of us; no couch, the art deco theme is just not really my taste because décor tends to be sparse to keep in line of elegant yet simplistic, and the room was too art deco for my taste.
I would return if I could book a larger room.

This was a great hotel for the location, wifi is fast, Restuarant in hotel. However will not call it a 4 star hotel. Back area where jacuzzi and pool are is very dull looking like being in someone’s apartment back yard with a poor view of old stained cement walls. Rooms are comfy but not enough room to hang wet clothes. Elevator needs major improvement very small and slow !!! Only 1 ice machine and you need to walk to 1 st floor to get access. Staff very pleasant. Best part of this hotel was location 2 min from beach and you get 2 beach chair rentals daily free !!

The staff are awesome! Nice clean hotel. The beds are super comfy. The rooms are rather large! I would come back for my next visit!

If I had only knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have reserved a room here! Why you ask? Let me explain:
1) major renovations are needed! The elevator works most of the time but you might as well take the stairs!
2) there’s a stench that lingers in the hallway & your room. So if you don’t mind the «stench» you’ll be fine. Otherwise be sure to bring some febreeze because you will definitely need it.
3) the bathroom is horrible! There’s mildew or mold on the walls & floor of the shower. We went & bought flip flops just to shower in.
4) the lights in the room need to be changed. They were blown out so the lighting in the room was bad.
5) we had a balcony… Yay! But it was covered with bird poop… not so yay! It was gross!
My mom said if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. So here’s my something nice. The staff was nice. It’s close to the beach.

This is a great hotel! Newly renovated and I think new management. The staff was wonderful. So friendly and accommodating, always offering to help. The décor is fresh and charming and the beds are super comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel for a fun South Beach stay. Great location too! Walking distance to everything.

The Stiles hotel is a south beach gem. It’s a boutique hotel with a little over 50 rooms. The bed is comfy. The rooms are clean. They changed their name from Hotel Nash & are completely renovated. Their service is outstanding and location is phenomenal. They are in the heart of south beach and in close proximity of all shops, restaurants & Miami beach. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. You should try it as you will NOT be disappointed!
