The Continental Hotel - Miami Beach

It was a real bad exp. with a 5 yr. old kid. People go here for lots of boozing. You can smell all kind of smoke all over the place of this hotel. We had to complain about the uncleaned room (may be people did no. 1 or no. 2 on the carpet). They gave us a second room on 6th floor, little better than on the other one. But too much noise all night, no […] one cn sleep. Not a family friendly hotel at all. People come here to party and sleep all day. Very shady environment all over. Not for people like us, who has kids and want a nice environment. Devamı

The other reviews about this hotel are dead correct. It's a great beachfront location, but everything else about it is pretty sad. The hotel is in serious disrepair.. leaking ceiling, got stuck on the elevator, paper thin walls. If you plan to stay here, just know what you're getting yourself into.

Where can I start ? This Hotel should be inspected by health department. Old dirty sheets, etc. etc. just disgusting !. Hotel.com was helpful cancelling the remainder of my reservation. Sorry Continental.

Aside from the location this was the worst and dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. My husband and I are very simple and younng so not haveing the fanciest hotel room is no big deal... this place was beyond that. Dirty everything starting with the outside our room was dirty including the very old bedding which one of the beds had sand and long dark […] hair everywhere in it ...mind you my husband is bald and I have short blonde hair... only a hand towel and barely normal size towels left in bathroom for 2 guest loud rowdy guest up and yelling down hallways, fights in front of hotel/lobby gblass bottles being tossed out window which have no screens... a no smoking hotel but betweed marijuana and cigarette smoke that's all you smelled. Just run down and not taken care of at all the ws debris in the hall that was overlooked for almost 24 hours. I would never stay nor recommend it to anyone... sleeping on the street would be cleaner!

Location was great. Disappointed they advertised valet for $30 but was not available. Had only one towel in room and difficult to get more. But I had city view on third floor and sunset was superb.

Hotel was very old fashioned, no renovations at all and very, very plain. Room had a musty odor, and at one point I was left without towels, and had to wait one and a half hours for housekeeping to bring them. That being said, the price is very good, so you should know that you're getting a little less than you are paying for, and not expect anything […] too nice. Devamı

Hotel was worn down, bar was never open, mold in the corners of the bathroom and one of the elevators were out of service. Also, you hardly ever had a good Internet connection in your room. However, the price wasn't bad for the location, housekeeper was friendly and we got fresh towels and toiletries everyday.

I thought the people that worked there were awesome. Very helpful and curtious. But the hotel its self was not what I thought it was. The bed was broke, leak in the bathroom and the Windows were screwed shut. There are others thing but I am not going to name them. I think it wasn't the worst hotel but it could have been just alittle bit better in the […] rooms. Devamı

This hotel has great location with access to the beach. The staff were nice. In terms of cleanliness, if one can look beyond the old and stale smell carpeting, it was actually ok. No wi-fi in the room, we had to go to the main hall in front of the receptionist for internet connection. The overall ambience of this hotel looked gloomy. I am sure repainting […] and replacing the carpet flooring as well as some change in lighting will make a different ambience. Devamı

It was horrible! Service sucks,no towels to go on the beach,rooms are dirty! The worst i ever saw!!! I think they better call themself as a MOTEL!

Hotel was decent, got your money's worth. Friendly staff too. Big downside was that the site listed valet parking for $30.00 which is decent for that location but the hotel DOES NOT offer valet. However, there is a garage 2 blocks down where overnight parking is $38.00.

This hotel needs someone who is willing to spend some money in a big renovation. I asked for a iron and a ironing table and I just got a filthy iron a day too late.

First the front desk is not helpful at all. When you ask to get extra towels for the showers they are very reluctant to do so. And they don't even have face or hand towels for you. And if you plan to arrive early before check in and you want to drop off your bags before so at least you can go to the beach or walk around until your room is ready they […] make you pay per bag! Next if you plan on driving your car or renting one for your stay they do not even have a parking for their guest. They tell you to park in a parking deck 3 blocks away for $30 a day! Last it would be nice if they updated the rugs, beds, hallways because it looks like it has not been changed since the 80s. All in all you get what you pay for. Please take my advice and don't stay here. If there was a good thing about this hotel it is the location. Close walking distance to everything on South Beach. Devamı

Inexpensive hotel near everything. Pool was nice. Old looking unrenovated hotel. Good place to sleep the little time u will be in room in SoBe

This hotel was advertised as a well located beach front hotel, with the normal amenities of a similar discount or inexpensive hotel chain. The rooms were in terrible disrepair, the elevators were shoty, and the pool and property was atrocious. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice though.

Ignore all the amrnity items that are shown on the list for this hotel because it has hardly any of them. They DO NOT have internet access in the rooms, surcharge or not, and they haven't had it for over 4 years!! They only have wireless access in the lobby, when it decides to work. The rooms are awful for the price that they charge you. The TVs hardly […] work & most of the channels are in Spanish. There is no sundeck, there is no poolside bar and there is no restaurant! There was no complimentary Newspaper. The housekeeping was a joke. The only time they did it was when we asked them 3 times. Even then they did not replace the towels or even provide more toilet paper!! The staff were rude & very unhelpful also. The only up side to the hotel is where it is situated. Close to the beach and close to Ocean Drive. But still is not worth what we paid for the room! Devamı

A nice hotel for young people. I stayed there while on a business trip and it wasn't up to par with my usual standards but it's very affordable and fine for the younger college student crowd.

This hotel is awful. There were no towels or wash cloths in the room when I checked in. I took them 2 hours for towels and 6 hours for wash cloths. The air in the room was not working. The lienes were old. The furniture was outdated. I was mold around the lamps. The carpet is was bad. The only good thing about this hotel was is there address. Please […] don't waste your money. I know that it is a two star but really it shouldn't even have a rating it shouldn't be open. I was HIGHLY upset. Devamı

Not as bad as others but the AC didnt work. They offered to let us switch but it was already late and all of our stuff was unpacked

I would say it was a nightmare. I would not recommend this hotel to others!!!!!

This hotel is currently being sold off room by room to convert to condos. All the good ocean view rooms are being converted now. No restaurant, no bar, but there is room service available. Pool area is clean with direct access to the beach Considering the price compared to surrounding hotels, this hotel is still a bargain because you can walk to the […] hot spots of South Beach only 5 blocks away. Devamı

Horrible, extremely filthy, rooms are disgusting, staff is very unfriendly. I would never go back. Stay away if you can you will be disappointed.

When I first got to the hotel, they went to move my car and they hit one of the orange caution cones with my car. Then when I got up to my room, there was a bloody cotton ball on the floor. I will say that the room service had very good food and they seemed nice. So they made my stay a little better. However, overall, I really don't want to stay at […] the hotel again. I only stayed there two nights, so I guess for the price it was alright. Devamı

This hotel had a great location, but everything positive stopped there. They were unable to give me the oceanfront room promised during my booking, then gave me a room that had no lights by the bed that worked. There were bugs in my bed, no paper or pen in the room, and no phone books in the room. Even the front desk had no yellow pages. In addition, […] there was no coffee in the building, nor food to be eaten aside from the machine stuff (hot pockets were the closest thing to real food.) This was the worst place I ever stayed in my life. I will never go back unless I develop amnesia. Devamı

the rooms was not that clean i ask for the bathroom floor to be clean when checked in and when i checked out the floor was still dirty we had flees in the room there was not facilties to my drink in your room there was a dirty microwave way down in the lobby only no where to get hot snacks or drinks

No frills, it's a cheap hotel that is reasonably clean and no sign of bed bugs (we always check!). A bit run down but what do you expect for the money? Staff is nice and helpful. There was no hair dryer in my room, no way of getting a refrigerator either. But I enjoyed the stay and would come again.

The staff was pleasant and hotel is conveniently located in South Beach and that is exactly all you get for your money. Hotel has no parking lot, no valet parking, rooms are run down, walls are very thin, and there was a strong "weed" smell in the hallway.

The hotel is in a great location! The hotel/hotel rooms is/are not in the best shape, but the rooms were clean and properly attended to. The walls connecting the rooms are VERY thin; fortunately we wanted to start our day early while we were visiting anyway. If you're looking to be in a prime spot, I recommend this hotel. If you are looking for something […] flashy -- this is not the place. Devamı

The continental hotel is ideal for those visitors intersted in shopping but not for visitors staying out pass elen at night. I was disappointed at the parking garage that does not allow guests to arrive past eleven at night. The party is just starting in Miami at 11pm. Other than that, the hotel and the staff were great

This is the worst hotel in Miami beach area.... - Rooms are Dirty - Condition of roomis very bad - Bathrooms are not clean - Beds are really bad - No Iron, Hair Dryer..nothing... We did not know about this hotel...All we looked at was the location...but it was the biggest mistake... We tried to checkout early but they did not let us do so.... I […] would not recommand this hotel to anyone (Not even my enemies) This is by far the worst hotel I have ever been to... DO NOT BOOK IT DO NOT BOOK IT Devamı

As I stated, you definitely get what you pay for. 19" tube TV, air conditioning works when it feels in the mood to, no hand towels in the bathroom, and outdated linens & curtains. But for the price, if you dont plan on sleeping much on your trip to SoBe you can't beat it. I just won't stay there again

Excelent location

After several trips to the east and west coast of Florida, the hotel is what I expected. Over priced for what you get because of the location. I could say that for all of South Beach in general. The walls are paper thin. So, you hear the conversation next door and all the activity in the hall. People ending their club/bar fest at 3:30am will wake you […] up. So, just stay out late with them. The hotel does NOT allow Motorcycles on the property. The hotel website nor Hotels.com gave me this information. I was lucky enough to find a parking lot a few blocks walk away. However, I had to park my expensive bike under a tree. The lot was also not guarded overnight. The hotel's only big plus was location. It was on the beach and, I could walk to the area attractions I wanted to see. Devamı

If you are reading the reveiws and think to yourself, as I did "it can't be that bad, the pics are prob old".... Stop!!! Upon arrival at the front desk a police officer was escorting a homeless crackhead out after he was found sleeping in one of the hallways On my way to my room I travelled down the purple hallways smelling stale ashtrays and cheap […] disinfectants to my room. Exhausted I was thrilled to find a scuffed up room with dirty carpets, ripped upholstery and a matted polyester blanket !! The only good thing to report is that the front desk clerk was very obviously understanding about my complaints, and at very least hotels.com courteously refunded my 2nd night booking within 24hrs !!! Do not stay here!!!! Devamı

This hotel is just two blocks from the Miami Convention Center. It does have hot water, but the fee to park at thirty-two dollars a night means you could stay further away and take a taxi.

A) the hotel is centrally located on 18th and collins with a spacious pool, pool area, and direct access to the boardwalk and beach B) The sheets were partially stained and had a cockroach in the shower C) would i stay there again? absolutely. I knew going in that the hotel would be the most inexpensive in the area. You get what you pay for. I went […] with another single male friend and we were mostly interested in meeting women, not staying in a five star hotel. Devamı

Overall the hotel is smelly, smelly sheet, maintenance is fatal, not recommended for anything.
