The Betsy is situated on a quieter area of South Beach, Miami. You can walk everywhere, the hotel is beautiful, 2 swimming pools, decorated in Colonial style with added touches of luxury. The staff are amazing. The hotel has its own section on south beach though we preferred the rooftop pool area. Musical entertainment in the evening and so much going on around the hotel outside

Initially we have been in a room with balcony in the new building, and it was really small for a 5 days stay (maybe for a 1 night would have been okish). We then moved to a classic king in the old building, space was good. A bit noisy, the ventilation system makes noise 24h and also kids running around outside the room in the corridor. There is a 45usd charge for jazz and beach services, the staff on the beach is not very approachable and there is basically no service, food or restroom facilities. Would not come back. Would recommend a refurbishment of internal areas and rooms: even if we understand the history behind this landmark, they are a bit outdated. A refurbishment would guarantee the 4 stars category and get Betsy back to where it should be!

Dated Hotel

The hotel is clearly showing its age and would benefit greatly from a renovation - rooms and common areas feel tired and outdated. While the restaurant staff were friendly and provided good service, the front desk team came across as disinterested and unwelcoming, which set a poor tone upon arrival.
