Nestled on the corner of quaint Espanola Way and Washington Avenue, The Clay Hotel is a jewel among places to stay in the historic Art Deco District of Miami Beach. Twenty- four hours a day, you can step through wood carved French doors into the cool, terra cotta tiled lobby where you'll be greeted by our multi lingual staff at the front desk-the same desk that's been there since 1925. After you've checked in and unpacked your bags, take a stroll down Espanola Way and observe the exotic features that make this one of the most alluring streets in South Beach.

Location is great as it is a

Location is great as it is a few blocks from Ocean Drive and a few blocks from Promenade. The Clay Hotel has free wireless, although a bit slow, and it works well. Most of staff behind counter were nice and helpful. It would be great if they clean the rooms just a bit better, but in the end, it is a good stay.

best location

The hotel location is very good, near south beach and Lincoln rd. In addition, very reasonable price and staff are kind and friendly. I do not remember other things, however, I will stay here again in case I will visit miami beach in the future.

one night stay

Accommodations were perfectly satisfactory. No problems of any kind. The staff was very professional, helpful, and generally easy to talk to. They gave concise, accurate, and useful answers to all questions we had. Location is convenient to Espanola Way, Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue, Ocean Ave, the boardwalk, and the beach.

Spring Break

We are college students who stayed at The Clay for Spring Break. None of us had previously been to SoBe. Overall, we had a positive experience. Positives: GREAT location! We were so close to all the bars, clubs, restaurants and beach. We also LOVED how cute Espinola Way is! The price was very affordable for us. Our flight was early and got us to the hotel way before check-in time but they put us in a room right away. That was such a relief. We also had a problem with our bathroom door and they fixed it within 5 minutes. Negatives: The room was cramped for the four of us but we didn't spend that much time in the room anyway. We also had cranky room neighbors who complained to us and about us.. if there was a way to designate one of the buildings for "spring breakers" .. that might be better. I'm sure they weren't happy being our neighbors but what did they expect from an SoBe inexpensive hotel during Miami Music Week?
