“Nice older property with some upgrades .. welcoming and friendly front desk … quick check in .. restaurant and bar on premises. Food was very good. Patio was breezy and comfortable. The room was lit just right. I had view of the pool. The area was not too noisy compared to other places in Miami . Bed was comfortable - and shower was super nice . Across the street from the beach so a quick walk to see the sunrise was nice. The property had a nice pool with morning sun. And the rooftop patio a perfect place to cuddle on the larger chairs have a drink and watch the beautiful sunset . Very reasonable price !”
“Staff was extremely friendly, willing to help, and understanding! Arrived earlier than expected and a room was made up quickly before the scheduled check in time for me. Location was convenient, restaurant was good, and the rooms were solid too! Had no issues with noise on the 4th floor. Elevator 1 did go in and out of service here and there but I just used elevator 2. I will be back to Hotel Croydon again!!”
“Clean. Friendly. Really nice staff in restaurant/bar which is attached to hotel. Rooms good size. Fully equipped nice clean bathroom. Can't comment on location as wasn't there long enough duecto a 10hour delay at airport. Had ok dinner its a smaller menu after evenings the other menu looked nicer. Breakfast was nice. Very laid back Friendly staff very interactive. Quirky features through the interior. Pools looks nice but it was raining so couldn't use plus thec1st receptionist we encountered told us of for looking at it. When we was leaving theres a man who works very hard. U will no him when u see him all customer were saying how hard he works. He took our bags down a flight if stairs and iut to taxi. Very nice man. And the final receptionist was extremely helpful she printed bits for us that id accidentally forgotten which was a last minute stress we had so helped resolve this quickly. May have been short but enjoyed it x”
“This hotel is a cute boutique hotel in a great location about 10 min north of South Beach Miami- If you’re looking to be a little bit out of the way from all the hustle bustle that’s South Beach has to offer. Pros: -The best part about this hotel is the location. It’s situated on the corner of Collins Ave and feet away from the beach and ‘boardwalk.’ -The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough for two people with ample light from the windows but with blackout floor-to-ceiling curtains. -cvs, liquor store, market all within a block -receptionist, Adriana, was a doll and so sweet! She made our stay so comfortable and accommodating. -Beds and pillows were fairly comfortable to our liking Cons: -Only one elevator worked while we were there which resulted in long waits for use. We used the stairs most of the time. -Never utilized the pool but looked like it didn’t get a ton of sun throughout the day/depended on the hour of the day since its situated in between 2 buildings -AC worked but it was very slow to cool/you never could tell when or if it was on. The controls stated that the fan was on high and what we wanted it at but it never seemed to register if it ever reached the temp we wanted. -since it is a little further away from South beach, there aren’t asssss many places for coffee/breakfast but we made do with what was around. For the price, this place was worth it and exactly what we needed for our trip- being so close to the beach! Would recommend staying!”
