Stayed here before and it was

Stayed here before and it was a delight. My room was clean and spacious. The bed didn't have a comforter but had a blanket in the closet which I had to use since the A/C worked great! :) Staff was pleasant. I wish there was parking for the hotel but it's miami! There was a parking lot across the street that charged $20 a day so that was convenient. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Stayed at the Crest with my wife

Stayed at the Crest with my wife for 2 nights in April/09. The first room we were given smelled of urine when we put the AC on. We went down to the front desk to ask to be moved and we were given another room right away. It was very clean and didn't smell. Didn't really use any facilities there but I know they have a cafe and the pool looked nice. It is within close walking distance to Lincoln Mall and not too far from Ocean Blvd. You can park across the road which we did or they have a valet service. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Value

Creat Hotel Suites proves to be an exceptional value located in an area of higher priced hotels. It is a block and a half from the beach and a short walk to Lincoln Road Mall. Though the rooms are a bit small, they are clean and well maintained. Hotel staff was very helpful as well. I would recommend this hotel as a good alternative, for those on a budget.

Nice small scale-option

Initial phone conversations trying to get directions to hotel were a bit abrasive, but in person, the staff were courteous and helpful. The basic room was teeny; just enough room for the two queens! Proportionally small bathroom! The suite was double the size and included a kitchenette and decent size bathroom. Little on-site cafe had odd/inconsistent hours but offered good breakfest eats and coffee. Hotel was clean, with nice foriere and small outdoor sitting area. Located at top of south beach a convenient distance from convention center, beach, restaurants, and shopping.

Crest Hotel

This hotel was very nice for the price we paid. Surprising to me the room was very clean espcially the bathroom. The hotel was in a great location and within walking distance to restaurants and clubs. The rooms are small. I would suggest a couple or two friends only. The front desk clerk was not nice and refused to give us a refund on our valet parking after we told her we had a problem with it. The night clerk was also useless and gave us wrong information about obtaining our refund. There were not enough towels and none were available when we requested them at the front desk. Valet company is not reliable and the parking is horrible. So you have no choice but to valet Besides that I would stay again because we booked a great price! Beware there is $15.00 charge for a 3rd person and even if you have paid in advance the hotel will hold $50.00 on your credit card and valet parking is $20.00.

Great location in South Beach!

I enjoyed the short walk to Lincoln Road which is right around the corner. There are a lot of great places to eat and shop down Lincoln Road. The walk to the beach is also only a few blocks away & the boardwalk is a great place to run. I never used the pool, which was small but very clean looking. The price I got was at a fabulous rate that made my trip affordable.

You can't get into most clubs with flip-flops so bring your heels or dress shoes.
