- “I got upgraded to a one bedroom the times I've been and the full bath and half bath are spectacular.” 13

- “we are using molten Brown products molten Brown London never heard of that but this packaging looks really swanky looking forward to using that” On camera128:52
- “i did want to say that this hotel is very loud there are so many cars in brickell it's not really the hotel's fault but not a lot of noise cancellation from the windows at all so i would definitely recommend staying somewhere else if you are susceptible to that” On camera46:33
- “I would stay there but don't think of it as high luxury. It is just above average and nicely quieter than others” 3
- “Number one soundproofing on these windows not not very good Bickle kind of known for all the supercars running around people like to rev their engines late at night especially on the weekends I was here on a Friday night so it was pretty loud last night” On camera12:57
- “all the food was really delicious definitely a little expensive but miami in general is just expensive for food” On camera42:57

- “Brickell Arch Dining - service was good, but pricey.” 3
- “Pricing is alright, paid around $500 for 1-night during the winter and while it wasn't anything memorable it serves fine.” 11
- “The dining here is great and its not too over the top expensive.” 11
- “The inspired rooms are nice, clean, and renovated. It is really the best value option in Brickell and if you like W you might as well like this option.” 3

- “They switched to Japanese-Peruvian, and that's just too much of a "niche" cuisine for me, especially if I want to eat at the hotel more than one night. It feels like an excuse to serve me a minuscule morsel of fish for a very high price. Their steakhouse used to be good.” 11
- “The Nobu tends to also be one of the cheaper hotel options in Miami, I've seen it almost the same price as some 4-stars. That said you basically get what you paid for, a nice room, great dining, but you won't get that over the top, personalized service.” 11
- “I paid around $350 to stay here per night in the fall and it was a really good deal!” 11

- “Hotel Beaux Arts: Nope, do not stay here. It isn't a bad property per say but for the price point it has terrible value.” 3
- “The Fontainebleau pretty much missed the mark on everything and yet they charge $700 per night, so even though there is a lot of hype around it this is one I'd recommend you avoid.” 11
- “True...and I need to adjust. But the rates, bro. If I'm paying JWM+ prices... ya know? Don't charge me Ritz prices and give me a glorified Moxy.” 13
- “The rooms here were not clean at all, while the views were great the linens weren't ironed and the rooms felt dusty.” 11

- “Rooms dated, housekeeping meh, I wouldn't rush back there for any reason.” 11
- “The service here is 100% more improved than the JW but again the rooms feel dated and this time, cramped.” 11
- “At least the lobby has some colors, though the lobby feels very small and cramped. This is one of my least favorite hotels because it offers nothing special and the service here also doesn't meet up to the mark.” 11
- “While the service here is more geared toward the friendly side, the rooms here are some of the best in the city.” 11

- “We stayed 3 nights at the RC Key Biscayne last year and I'm not normally obsessed with service, but this place was awful.” 11
- “The Inspired room at JW Marriott Miami is slightly more modern while JW Marriott Miami Marquis has better service and property grounds.” 3
- “Are you referring to the FS in Brickell? That's the worst FS I've stayed at (earlier this year) and the service was non-existent or weird, with the exception of valet who were great.” 11
- “The rooms and the service are terrible.” 11
- “I stayed there several times and unfortunately, the service has been on the decline since 2018.” 13

- “I find the dining and service to be quite nice here.” 3
- “just come back to the room and not cleaned let's calm for two and a half hours this is one downfall of the Marriott app and also on using that iPad to request turndown service order across green cleaning I've noticed there's a big time leg as opposed to just calling” On camera1215:56
- “I am writing this from the hotel. Rooms are very nice.” 14
- “Brickell Arch Dining - service was good, but pricey.” 3
- “Emilia and Lucia were our front desk attendants on Christmas morning and checked us in. Emilia , in particular, was courteous and responsive to our needs.” 13
- “JW Marriott Miami is the best option ONLY if you book an Inspired room. The inspired rooms are nice, clean, and renovated. It is really the best value option in Brickell and if you like W you might as well like this option. I find the dining and service to be quite nice here.” 3

- “Keeping in mind that we were on the chaise lounges on the "observation deck" at the far end of a very long pool (100 yards), I had to walk to Tulum, wait 20 minutes for lunch to be prepared, then carry it back. Alternately, I could just walk back and forth twice. This situation seems beneath the standard of service of a luxury hotel.” 13
- “Miami Beach Edition: Personally, for someone who has stayed at a lot of EDITION Hotels (Lake Como, Tampa, etc) this one was a letdown. The rooms here were not clean at all, while the views were great the linens weren't ironed and the rooms felt dusty.” 11
- “Otherwise the rooms were clean and the dining is great but the service was lacking.” 11

- “Brickell Arch Dining - service was good, but pricey. We had breakfast on Saturday : 2 eggs/bacon and breakfast burger with coffee and 2 cokes and total bill was $84.” 3

- “The rooms here are 100% dated and probably in need of a renovation and the restaurants haven't been doing so well.” 11
- “Breakfast is beautiful restaurant, elite dining has changed from "anything" to a more limited menu. They also forgot to take it off folio 2 of 4 stays and painful to call in.” 3

As I've stayed here more and more despite the grandeur the property has it has started to lose the 5-star charm. The rooms here are 100% dated and probably in need of a renovation and the restaurants haven't been doing so well.” 11
- “Dining here was exceptional, all the restaurants had delicious food. However like the Ritz-Carlton the service here was lacking and didn't feel personalized.” 11
- “Dining here was exceptional, all the restaurants had delicious food.” 11
- “the interpretation of the elite breakfast was really great we actually i actually felt like it was a full breakfast there was you know hot food if you wanted so definitely better than what i've seen other marriott hotels try and do” 4
- “I like I can do the master light in the entire room that is cool” On camera1230:47
- “St. Regis Bal Harbour: This is by far one of the more interesting properties on the list. It feels very glamorous when you walk inside but for me I didn't like the rooms. The bathrooms were a big highlight and I loved the balcony I received.” 11
- “JW Marriott Miami is the best option ONLY if you book an Inspired room. The inspired rooms are nice, clean, and renovated.” 3

- “The bathrooms were a big highlight and I loved the balcony I received.” 11

- “The rooms are nice and 100% scream fancy, the room design is simple yet elegant and the bathrooms are gorgeous.” 11
- “Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour: This is one of the only few hotels where I've stayed in a suite room. I loved the hard wood floors and the room was very clean, the views from the bathtub were amazing.” 11
- “bernardobrito • 7 buwan ang nakalipas I guess I had become accustomed to a "Living Room" and WetDeck vibes at other W's. This property has so much potential, and management is sliding by with low effort.” 13
- “The bathrooms feel outdated but I like the wooden touches in the room.” 11
- “Rooms are fine because they are new but the wood furniture likely won't last.” 3
- “it really is an entertaining room it's not a sitting showroom it's not very comfortable oh this is not a room that's meant to be this is not a countess meant to be sat on I wonder almost if it's intentionally uncomfortable” On camera1231:36
- “There will be 5 of us, my wife and I, and my 2 kids and my mother. We've done the Residence Inn Miami Airport several times which we like because it's easy to get a 1 bedroom suite and it's a quick ride to the port.” 15

- “I loved the hard wood floors and the room was very clean, the views from the bathtub were amazing.” 11
- “At around midnight I discovered that there were bed bugs, about 7-8 of them crawling around beneath all the sheets.” 11
- “The elevators were always so slow in my towers and it took almost 10 minutes once just to get to my room.” 11
- “The sleek, precisely designed guest rooms provide open space for you to settle into, featuring an open closet, clutter-free desk, and city skyscraper views of the area.” On camera80:25

- “The brickell area also has a number of quite decent hotels and they are close to the metromover. We really enjoyed the Hampton inn Miami Beach...it was close enough to the beach we didn't need to have a car and there were tons of restaurants!” 15
- “AC Hotel by Marriott Miami Bickl is located in the chic Bickl neighborhood.” On camera80:00
- “The rooms here are 100% dated and probably in need of a renovation and the restaurants haven't been doing so well. It has a sweet location in a more quieter part of Downtown Miami but still it doesn't truly feel luxurious.” 11
- “Looks like it has not been updated sine 2011 - is that correct? We stayed at this hotel in early March. I'll second the good reviews. We really enjoyed the hotel and the neighborhood.” 14

- “this is almost as good as the view at the JW Marriott in Cancun but this is still on a on a sunny day absolutely stunning so floor-to-ceiling windows very very tall I'd say 15 feet” On camera1217:37
- “the bed is amazingly comfortable I fell asleep for good two hours by myself I'm not a big kind of softmax as you know but this is definitely definitely more comfortable than the W Fort Lauderdale's mattress they share kind of same pedigree but this mattress is on real” On camera1210:21
