Esme Miami Beach

Location, staff, room.

Beautiful, wonderful staff perfect location

A couple of more towels in each room

Awesome location, great amenities, love love loved the fact that we had complimentary towels and chairs at the beach, and very clean room and nice daily maintenance which is the most important.

The room was a bit tight and there was a few minor issues that made it a bit uncomfortable - the bathroom door would not stay closed, it kept sliding opened unless you got it to stabilize a certain way. Also there were no window openings to ventilate the room or bathroom so it quickly got musty. The room door had a big gap at the bottom so you could hear everything in the hallway and vice versa. Lastly, the air conditioner was great but had a constant motor noise that was a bit annoying especially at night. Another note - we could not redeem our last voucher for breakfast as we were leaving early in the morning. It would have been nice to be able to redeem it the previous day with a smoothie or another latte at Sunshine coffee for its value.

Pros * Excellent South Beach location close to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. * Charming Art Deco style with lots of personality. * Rooms are clean, well maintained, and feel fairly new. * Friendly and helpful staff. * Good-sized bathroom. * Street noise was minimal for the area.

Cons * Rooms are quite small with limited storage. * There was scaffolding outside our window and we weren’t advised of it before the booking. * Music from the restaurant below can be be heard until fairly late at night. * The air conditioner rattles on certain settings. * Housekeeping staff frequently let the supply room door slam throughout the day. While this may not bother everyone, it made it difficult to enjoy a quiet afternoon rest or nap between activities. * The mattress seemed past its prime and could use replacing. * The one-ply toilet paper felt cheap, and no extra roll was provided. We had to call the front desk for more.
