I had a great time at Hotel Shelley! The location is super convenient, just a block away from Ocean Drive and the beach, and the staff made my stay enjoyable with their warm hospitality. While the rooms were a bit dated and had some quirks, the friendly atmosphere and the proximity to nightlife overshadowed those minor inconveniences. Overall, it felt homey, and I'd totally come back for another visit.

Rooms

8.0

The room was snug and had a touch of the old vibe, but the bed was comfy enough for me. The mini fridge was stocked, leaving little space for my drinks, which was a bit annoying. I also heard some complaints about very cold showers, but I found if you adjust the knob halfway, it works fine.

Service

10.0

The staff was really good! Nelson at the front desk is a rockstar; he made me feel welcomed and was super helpful throughout my stay. There was always someone greeting me with a smile, which made a big difference. Even though I ran into some issues with my room key, the staff was patient and attentive.

Location

9.0

The location is a huge plus! I was just a block away from Ocean Drive, so it was easy to hop over to the beach or hit up local restaurants and bars. Everything I wanted to do was super close by, making my trip all the more enjoyable.

Dining

7.0

Happy hour was nice, though it could've had more drink options. I did enjoy the vibe at the bar, especially after a long day at the beach, but if you're not into rum or vodka, the choices might feel limited.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel had the essentials, like a place to store my bags before check-in and free beach towels, which were handy. However, I missed having a microwave in the room, and the fact that there's no elevator made lugging my stuff upstairs a bit of a hassle.

My stay at the Shelley Hotel was a mixed bag. The location unbeatable, right in the heart of Miami Beach, making it easy to explore. However, the room cleanliness and service left much to be desired. I faced several issues like a broken bedframe and frequent troubles with the room key. Overall, while the spot is fantastic for a short getaway, I wouldn't recommend it for an extended stay. 🏖️🤔

Rooms

The room was not cleaned daily, and there were multiple issues like a broken bedframe. I also found hair on the towels, and the bathroom was poorly designed with a shower door that led to a soaked floor.

Service was generally lacking. I had to frequently request fresh towels and the front desk was not helpful when issues arose, especially with my room key. No elevator made things worse when dealing with the third floor.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and local eateries. However, the service left much to be desired, with long waits and unresponsive staff. The rooms were clean but had a musty odor, and the lack of basic amenities like towels was frustrating. I probably wouldn't return.

Rooms

The room size was decent, but it was poorly maintained. I found the carpets had a strong, musty smell, and there were no hooks in the bathroom. Additionally, the shower was frustratingly small and not cleaned daily.

The hotel's facilities were lacking. There was no ice machine nearby, and I was shocked to find they only provided one towel and charged for extras. The lobby was hot and uncomfortable with no AC.

During my stay at Hotel Shelley in Miami Beach, I found the location ideal, just a short walk from the beach (which I loved!). However, I was often frustrated with the service and condition of the facilities. The staff sometimes seemed indifferent, leading to an overall experience that was less enjoyable than I'd hoped.

Service was inconsistent. While some front desk staff like Claudio and Alexa were attentive, I encountered significant problems with management's response to requests, especially regarding check-out procedures (I felt quite embarrassed during that interaction!).

The location of the hotel is fantastic, right by the beach on Collins Avenue, making it easy to explore local attractions (it's perfect for beach lovers like me!).

Dining

Dining options were limited, with only basic offerings like cheese sandwiches (which didn't really satisfy my dining expectations for Miami).

Facilities

5.0

Facilities felt lacking. There was no elevator, making trips to the third floor challenging, and I noticed the carpeting in shared areas needed a refresh (the vibe felt a bit tired).

The size of my room was a bit cramped, and the cleanliness left much to be desired, with stains on the sheets and some mildew odor. The lack of consistent cleaning was disappointing, especially considering the price we paid.
