Essex House By Clevelander, Miami Beach, United States of America

Essex House is located at 10th and Collins in the Art Deco District of South Beach. It's a block from the beach. It's a block from Gianni Versace's former mansion. The hotel was built in 1938. While there are updates, the bones are still aged. The air conditioning works really well, though. Don't pay for valet parking. You can save a few $$ by parking in the public lot right next door on Collins. Our biggest gripe is that there's no refrigerator in the room. (We didn't care that there was not coffeemaker nor microwave.) At least, with this, you'll be prepared. Ice can, though, be had by asking at the front desk. They gave us sizable bucket of ice, which chilled our bottles well.

We were really pleased with the great location. The hotel could do with some modernisation, but they’re doing some works at the moment, so hopefully that will be covered. The beds were really comfortable and the service was excellent.

The room was very comfortable and it was in a nice location. Would have been nice to know that parking wasn't free. We had the Jetta tub but no stopper. We never received one during our stay so we had to make our own. Other the. That nice room lovely stay.

Room was small, the breakfast was not a real breakfast...no meat, eats etc. There was no refrigerator and the hotel is very outdated.

My suite was nice 😊
