Second time around

Doug

Make sure you ask for a room away from the new disco that opened up next door or you will feel the walls shake till five 'am.

This is the second time I stayed at the Townhouse Hotel in South Beach. I choose this hotel because, three years ago, when I stayed there I remembered how hip and friendly and wonderful it was. Well, it still is. BUT. The Townhouse is right at the end of basically all that is cool about South Beach - it's right on the water, it's a boutique, it's intimate. But as I was walking by all the other hotels on the Ocean Ave/Collins Ave. strip, I kept wondering if they might be not only cooler, but more comfortable. The beds and the room are, as my friend put it - monastic. The rooms are done in red and white - heavy on the white and the beds are firm. Super firm. I checked under the sheets - it's basically a queen mattress on a hand made very simple wood platform. Comfortable, but not very. There's no pool and the fitness center is an exercise bike at the end of the hall on every floor. However, the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. The lobby offers free coffee and juice and continental breakfast, stacks of papers and a chance to get to know your fellow travlers every morning. Plus you can rent the coolest bikes in South Beach from the front desk; red and white flyers - very snappy. If you're looking for something chic and are on a budget, it's a great hotel.

Finally a great affordable hotel in miami beach

Shannon, Albany, NY

The Delano, The Shore Club, Mynt, Rokbar are all within walking distance

I was overall very satisfied with my expierence at the Townhouse hotel. The location is great even though it is not directly on the beach.. it is just behind another very nice hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They even recommended a few hot clubs and even helped with reservations. They also leave you alone when you want to be left alone. I didn't eat at the restaurant but I did visit the rooftop which was fully equipped with a nice bar. The hotel is also set up for wireless internet access, good breakfast, cool crowd, great expierence.

Great Value

There are a number of close spots to hit for some nice dancing and good drinks.

The TownHouse was among the big elite hotels of Miami and the cost was almost a steal. The value was unbelievable. I plan to make this my hotel of choice when I am in Miami.

great business amenities

The Townehouse was a great boutique type hotel. Service was extremely professional from the check-in, car valet, room service. In house restaurant, Bond Street, was tre chic. Breakfast room was bright and airy. Good place for business meetings, too. Room was comfortable. Nice amenities. Block from the beach for relaxation after long day.

Not good

Excellent boutique hotel, amazing service

This hotel is a short walk frm Lincoln Road, close to Mint (the club) and the Setai and the Shore Club are next door. Location is perfect for shoppers and dinners.

The Townhouse Hotel was more than I expected. The property is beautiful and clean and more importantly, the front desk was extremely helpful to my needs. I highly recommend this hotel for young couples that want to have some fun in Miami Beach.

Great Hotel, Great Location!!

The TownHouse is in a prime location, just steps away from the main beach and minutes away from a few of Miami's major clubs. Even though it is located on the main strip, it is actually tucked away around the corner, so it's very quite. The service was excellent. If you needed anything they were there to help you out; plus the serivice was quite fast. I would definetly go back to the TownHouse
