The hotel is located in a great area with easy access to everything. Staff is great and the lobby is cute, however the hotel is not located on the beach as advertised but it is near the beach. I would “not” recommend this hotel. The halls on each floor are dirty. Upon check in and getting to my room, the commode was stopped up and I had to make multiple calls before maintenance came to fix it and the tv in the room did not work. It definitely was not worth $200+ per night.

The room was the size of an indoor cabin on a cruise ship. Plenty of space for a stay. You are a block from Lincoln Mall, a block from the beach, and a block from the Jackie Gleason music center. Lowe's and the Ritz-Carlton are block away under swimming there is a better location in South Beach that doesn't have music downstairs and noise until 1:00 a.m.. the properties of updated that's really clean Steph could not be more commentating. There's a pool currently under renavation, but the outdoor seating for breakfast more than makes up for it. Remember you are less than a few hundred feet in the beach. There are a few other properties very close The Crest, and the James, but I'm quite sure, of all the local properties this is the pick. For the price you're stay in Miami at the Albion is unbeatable.
