Winterhaven Beachfront Hotel, one of the tallest structures on Ocean Drive, featuring the tasty Italian restaurant

This Art Deco building built in 1939 is one of the tallest structures on Ocean Drive. The hotel has been beautifully renovated to retain its original charm: Art Deco mosaic on the lobby floor, wooden furniture, vintage wallpaper in the 71 rooms... It is also perfectly located, not far from the lively Española Way and its many restaurants, but you can also opt for Il Bolognese, the hotel's tasty Italian restaurant. There's no pool, but after all, what's the big deal when the beach is right across the street?

We had a very nice stay there. The staff is absolutely amazing. The restaurant serve very nice food, we ate there every evening, we enjoyed a friendly and attentive service.
The room is small but that was not an issue since there is so much to do outside ! Only issue was the noise outside every morning very early (6:30)
The location et great obviously, the valet parking is super convenient and not expensive (not as I would expect in a big city).
Again we want to recognize the phenomenal staff of this hotel.

No lo recomiendo para nada. No volveré y siento que el dinero que he gastado, ha sido una estafa para lo que he recibido en contraprestación. De principio a fin la estadía fue un desastre. La reserva fue por 12 noches. 12 NOCHES y siendo socia de la cadena, la experiencia fue pésima.
Cuando llegamos al hotel y nos dieron la habitación, la cual no se le podían abrir las ventanas, característica que sí figura en el perfil del hotel en la app de Marriot donde hice la reserva. La respuesta fue: No se pueden abrir las ventanas de ningún cuarto. Pero tampoco había un extractor, y puesto que además la puerta del baño daba a la cama, hagas lo que hagas en el baño te repercutía en todo el cuarto.
Al volver a hacer el reclamo, nos volvieron a decir que nada podían hacer que así era y punto. Al mostrarles que en la APP de Marriot figuraba que las ventanas podían abrirse, "NOS HICIERON LA EXCEPCIÓN" y abrieron la ventana del baño que estaba sellada.
En el correr de los días, cada vez que limpiaban el cuarto, lo cual tambien deja bastante que desear en lo que respecta a los baños, no nos dejaban papel higiénico y he tenido que reclamarlo a diario. Una vez el ascensor no funcionaba y al no haber alternativa, se tuvo que subir por escalera 5 pisos.
El último día, sin casi haber estado en el cuarto, nos encontramos con el inodoro roto. Otra vez la respuesta del hotel fue: NO PODEMOS HACER NADA, DEBEN PASAR LA NOCHE AHI.
Nunca tuvieron el interés en solucionarnos los problemas, que no fueron causados por nosotros encima y que son básicos. Demuestran que la experiencia en el hotel que regentan no la conocen, y que estan dentro de una cadena porque da prestigio, pero no llega ni a los estandares minimos de un hotel de 2 estrellas.

I’ll give one star for the location - which is hard to beat in Miami - 2min walk from the beach.
Everything else is a disaster at this hotel. I’ll list just an extract of things which shouldn’t be:
- Resort fee is a scam. The narrative of “free water and free beach chairs” is ridiculous. Water is free at every Marriott hotel and should not be a privilege. The “beach chairs” is a nicely hidden scam, because the only thing included is literally a chair. For the umbrella you have to pay $25 extra. Enough said.
- The rooms are smaller than NYC’s mini apartments. To the level that it is ridiculous. You pay a super heavy nightly rate (>$400/night) and you get a 150sqft (12m2) room with a bathroom where i couldn’t even stretch my arms
- The views. Are non-existent. 90% of the rooms have one small window with a view of the next building’s wall. Like my room - see pic attached
- The old AC equipment is installed under the window and blows full force cold air onto the bed. If you don’t turn it off overnight, have fun waking up with a sore throat or a cold (worst case). Ridiculous design.
- Service for a Titanium Elite Member: non-existent. I reached out 24h in advance and asked if there are any upgrades available for my anniversary celebration. The answer was: we will try our best. I’m not angry that i got the standard room despite my effort, but the fact that nobody informed me that there are high chances i will get a small standard room with a view of a wall. They didn’t give me a chance to cancel and book another hotel with decent rooms. Simply because they didn’t care that it is a special occasion for me, and this circumstance could ruin my whole trip
- The interior does not pass any minimum standard of a typical Autograph Collection hotels. I’m astonished that this hotel was approved for the Marriott Autograph portfolio. US standards are just not what they were anymore…

I will give a small shoutout to the manager, who reached out to me at the end and offered some small compensation for the disappointing experience. Thank you, but my morals force me to be fair and open with my reviews for potential future guests…
