While looking for a different hotel to stay in on my trip this year to South Beach I was reminded of a bad experience I had at Essex House last year as a Birthday and Graduation present. The hotel decor was great the room was ok for the price until realizing the room was infested with bed bugs the next... more

Stayed here for two weeks over Christmas 2007. It was our first time to Miami and had read the reviews of this hotel. The position is really good, walking distance to everything. We especially enjoyed the comp. breakfast - just perfect to line the stomach before setting off for a day somewhere. Very helpful staff and always obliging. The rooms... more

As soon as we stepped foot in The Essex house we felt relaxed and comfortable. The customer service is unbeatable, you could not ask for a better location, great drinks at the bar with half price happy hour from 4-6pm daily, rooms have everything you could possibly need (great down pillows and comforter), great pool with flat screen TV, amazing... more

I'm always on tripadvisor reading and rereading reviews for the various hotels I plan on visiting. My girlfriends and I decided on the Essex House because of the reviews, the price and location. We NEVER regretted it. And on the many nights we passed by the other hotels in our SoBe stay, we all commented on how HAPPY we were... more

I read MANY reviews on this hotel before we booked & after we booked, some reviews had me worried but after actually experiencing ourselves we realized the bad reviews were probably people that should have been staying at Delano or Loews, etc. I felt very comfortable here & LOVED its charm! Everything about the outside patio/pool area was nice to... more

We stayed here for one night. We booked it on Bookit.com and got a great rate of $89 ($103 with taxes and fees) for a standard queen bed room. The reception we got from the staff (bellhop, doorman and desk) was great. They greeted us by name. They don't have a valet, so you will have to park in the... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Essex House for one night. In summary I would say the hotel had a grand reception area, very friendly staff with a warm welcome and helpful too. Unfortunately put in a smoking room but because we were only staying for one night didn't mention, later I discoverd some wet carpet by the air... more

First, let me say that we booked the hotel through Bookit.com and got the excellent rate of $139 a night for a suite with a luxurious king bed, livingroom area, large flat screen TV, a huge bathroom with a BIG jacuzzi tub and so on. The room was clean and cool--very comfortable for 3 nights. The pool is small, but... more

There are numerous reasons I would stay at this hotel again. First, the location was fantastic. You are a block and a half from the ocean, and a block from the famed Ocean Drive and Washington (where a good deal of the clubs are). Second, the amenities were a plus. The hotel in it's entirety was a no frills hotel.... more
