Leslie Hotel Ocean Drive

Everything

Right on the money, facing the beach . 5 minutes walk to the main shopping street. 20 minutes drive to the airport. 👍

Comfy beds, helpful reception staff, pool area is great. Great location for Miami/South Beach.

Window from bathroom into the bedroom meant the room got light as soon as the sun comes up - needs a curtain to cover it. View was of a wall 3 metres away!

Location was excellent, right on Ocean Drive, can't get much better than that. Modern enough room, although not obvious from the outside. Comfortable and clean, it included all the usual amenities. The paid breakfast was in fact a voucher to use at the associated restaurant from a reduced set of options, not the full menu. Tasty though, and service was good.

Noise. Everywhere. The room (101) was next to the 1st floor main door, and the noise from the corridor outside was not pleasant, banging door and people talking loudly as they walked past our room door. Furthermore, the noise outside the window (closed and locked shut) was loud enough that it was keeping my young daughter (and us) from falling asleep. It's the downside from being on Ocean Drive, I guess. The valet parking is in fact a third-party service, which is very expensive and felt dodgy, although there was no problem in the end. We tolerated it for a one-night stay, but it felt weird and restrictive. There's a parking garage 2-3 minutes' walk around the corner from the hotel with very reasonable prices, so I would definitely use that instead. The hotel looks and feels dated, felt almost like a hostel when we walked in. It could definitely do with an update, didn't feel very inviting. Felt more like a place for young, party people, not a family.
