1818 Meridian House by Eskape Collection

Overall excellent stay for family. Spacious rooms, good amenities, great WiFi and RokuTV. Things they could improve for a 5/5 experience: the refillable bottles were a nice touch but the bottles were dirty and you have to go to the office to refill. Would be more convenient if that was outside. Kitchen well equipped but missing some items like a colander for spaghetti, salt and pepper, etc. Lighting in room is very dim consider adding stronger bulbs with dimmer switches. Beach towels would be nice. Complimentary shuttle would be nice with someone operating a golf cart for example even if they charged a nominal fee for south beach area would save on Lyft/uber. Management was very nice and responsive and again overall excellent stay!

We stayed at 1818 Meridian House by Eskape Collection (1816 Meridian Ave, Miami Beach) with our crawling infant, and it turned out to be one of the worst lodging experiences we’ve ever had.||The room was dirty — mosquitoes, the baby crib was disgusting with visible mold, a strong odor of sweat and garbage, and brown and black stains on the mattress. Despite informing the hotel we were bringing a baby, the crib was completely unsanitary.||While showering, we saw worms and maggots coming out of the drain, which was horrifying and was the last straw. The main bed also had stains, further proving the room had not been properly cleaned. Imagine your crawling baby dealing with drain maggots and worms.||To be clear, we’ve stayed in many places and are not overly sensitive — we’re frequent hikers

Positive: Location Negative: Not clean. Other people's eyelashes on the bed. Room was full of mosquitoes. Air conditioner was very damp, and it was noisy even when it was turned off. Hotel charges a hidden fee, and I was charged a lot of money for no reason

We stayed for six nights in a spacious two-bedroom apartment and absolutely loved it. The location near Lincoln Outdoor Mall is excellent, the place is beautiful, and the kitchen is fully equipped. The rooms were spacious, and having a washing machine and dryer was very convenient. The manager was very kind and helpful. The only small downside was that the floor was a bit worn. We would definitely stay here again.

I arrived at 5:30 on Friday. There was nobody on site to help check in. I was able to check in on the phone. There should have been someone there. Once in the room, I found a moldy fruit tray in the fridge. The safe didn't work because the batteries were decayed. On the plus side, the towels were very soft. The location was perfect. After telling them about the problems, they did waive the parking fee. But they shouldn't charge for parking in the first place. I'll probably stay there again anyway. The plusses outweighed the minuses.
