The Goodtime Hotel

We had a short visit to the hotel while attending a wedding in Miami. I arrived late Friday night and had to leave to return home Sunday morning. But I had a couple of hours to sit by the pool mid day on Saturday. When my wife made the reservation there was no mention that there would be a pool party on Saturday. My wife and I went to the pool to grab a lounger for a couple of hours. We were told by a host that someone would help us momentarily. 20 minutes later and after asking multiple hosts if someone could help me, a more official person appeared who told me that it would cost $500 to $4000 dollars to be able to sit by the pool due to the “pool party.”. No one was really there, it was only around noon. My wife had since gone downstairs to find out if there was someplace else nearby that we could use instead. We were given options. We told that there was another hotel not far away that we could use, or Ari, the front desk manager could call the beach and give us a complimentary cabana. The cabana sounded good so we went off to the beach. Of course after a 15 minute walk to B7 cabanas and chairs, we were told that Ari never called. We ended up paying for it ourselves. Later that day, I received a questionnaire about our stay. I wrote back and told my story. Stephanie said that she was disappointed to hear my story and that someone would reach out to talk to me and make this right. No surprise here, I never heard from anyone. From my perspective this hotel is a complete money grab that doesn’t care about the hotel guests experience. It’s basically a club to makes money selling expensive drinks and seating by the pool. As an after thought they happen to have rooms.

Titanium elite member, booked directly through Marriott for excellent pricing. Even before the customer service representative knew my status I was treated with perfection. As they say, I feel like a friend now! Bed - perfect and comfy. Bedding was above average and crystal white clean. 6th floor ocean facing, rose up staring at the sun rise and could see the water. Room- perfectly clean and had everything I needed. All other amenities - beautiful space and design. Great pool space. Looking forward to making some meetings on Fridays purposefully so I can stay on the weekend and enjoy all the weekend festivities at this hotel!

This is a tricky one, folks. For starters, a party hotel, hands down, almost has a hostel-like vibe to it, albeit an upscale one. The room size, as I'm sure is mentioned by other reviewers, is beyond small. If you have ever stayed in a Moxy, same design, "efficient," I'm sure is how they describe it. My biggest issue with this particular Marriott-branded property is the no name tag policy that management has opted to go with. Certainly interesting how they get away with this, given this is not only a hospitality standard, but a basic business one. Why they do this is beyond me, but I think it should be addressed immediately. Front desk agents provided the basic standard welcome, nothing deserving of praise by any means. The Miami culture and attitude of the youth in this city can be felt, good if you are of a younger demographic, not so charming for the more discerning adults. The library on the third floor is a nice respite from the nonsense in the lobby and pool area, and the restaurant is also note-worthy (thank you again, Mike and Caro). Overall, the hotel does indeed live up to its name for those traveling to South Beach for such, but for the price, I think I'll stay elsewhere on my next visit.

Good quality foods and affordable rate. Good satisfaction and enjoy ed with my family and myfriendsss. Always am recommend this restaurant. Very good quality and quantity food available and all staff behavior also good. All service also good

Pool Scene is full of low lives. Ordered a whiskey and Coke on the first day and it was 27 USD. Hotel is actually not a terrible place to stay. Pilots from major airlines stay here. Rooms are tiny European style similar to a cruise ship but how much time do you spend in the room in Miami anyway. This is not the place to go if you just wanna sit around a pool and relax though but if you’re looking for a decent value place close to South Beach it’s all right.
