National Hotel

We loved the location of the hotel on South Beach. The pools are beautiful and there is easy access to the beach. The concierge recommended a fabulous restaurant within walking distance, Vita. The hotel staff was friendly. However, the rooms were very plain. The restaurant had good food but horrible service. We skipped our free dessert, because of how long they left us unattended. Overall it was okay, but the room did not meet our expectation for the price. ...read more

We loved the location of the national hotel in south beach. It was convenient to shops and the beach was lovely. The pool was beautiful and the beach setup with lounge chairs and cabana boys was very nice. The rooms were very small and the bathroom was tiny. ...read more

Initially, I had a some trouble with the hotel - they wouldn't give me a room with a king size bed although I had booked for that. They wouldn't give me a discount for not giving me a room with a king size bed. Then the room I was given had a leak from the a/c vents. The first attendant wouldn't help me with this saying only she would send someone to my room to fix the leaking (but do nothing about the wet floor). I demanded to speak with a manager who completely understood and put me in a different room. Other than that, I would give this hotel thumbs up. The rooms are a little small, but that's authentic south beach. The rooms and the hotel are nicely decorated. The restaurant was better than expected, quite well really. And the location is great. ...read more

I had a great stay at the national. I was traveling solo and found it to be comfortable and affordable overall (minus the drink prices). Great hotel for couples, next to Delano and other major hotels. Nice pool area for tanning and beach is staffed for you as well. Great hotel, I¿d stay again. ...read more

I feel that for couples is the right place to be at.

The National offers quality service and beautiful Art Deco style. I reserved an ocean view room and was upgraded to a suite for the same price. I chose the National because an excellent rate in comparison to the rates for other periods was offered on the date I stayed (a Tuesday in early April). A very comfortable bed and clean room. I took advantage of very few amenities, as I was there only one night on business, so I cannot comment on those. Overall, a very pleasant stay. ...read more
