Great little historic hotel right on Ocean Drive facing the beach! We really enjoyed the hotel and its charm! Our room was very clean and the marble floors are great! The staff were very friendly and responsive when called upon. Depending on the time of year parking can be a little tricky as the hotel has no onsite parking. Plan to park in one of the city parking garages or use one of the valet services on Collins Street behind the hotel ($50 a night during our stay.)

I enjoyed my stay at the Beacon Hotel, it’s in a great location, there are many food options, the area is very nice, there is a CVS next door to the hotel, the room (206) had a comfortable bed, was clean , had a mini fridge. The staff were very pleasant and helpful including the bartender who made delicious cocktails.The only thing missing from the room was NO MICROWAVE. We wasted a lot of food that could not be reheated. That is the only negative for me but may impact my return to this hotel.

This hotel was way below expectations. Front desk not friendly, noise and yelling down the hall at all hours of the night and the tub had brown residue in it with very limited space. Not ideal for families or small children. People smoking on every corner, beds hard and cheap , pillows lumpy and sheets felt like paper. The a/c barely worked and you have to keep your window curtains closed or people will look in your room. WTAF
