Z Ocean Hotel South Beach

The hotel is not as advertised! It is very run down and in urgent need of major renovations. It is in very bad condition. The furniture is old and worn the floor in the room is dirty with lots of stains and marks. The microwave and fridge is old and not working properly. We checked out early because of this!

Bad experience. Old and crappy hotel. Old Rooms with noisy ar conditioning. Terrible old beds, a nightmare if you have backpain or alergies. Bathroom, forget hot water. Taps falling apart. Service, terrible. Asked for a bottle of water in the second night and I am waiting until now. Top of the cherry, elevators did not work when everybody was checking out. Had to go down 3 floors carrying luggage. No support. Crew lost. Stay away. Only benefit is the location, close to lincoln and some nice restaurants. Forget breakfast. Go to the other hotels near by for a decent meal. Insecure too, anyone can enter and jump into an elevator, no control with the keys no matter the time of the day. My agency has listed this place as 4 stars, which is a joke.

The bed the room the hotel is what it is just that nothing special it looks that every amenity is closed the hotel is only offering a room basically the beach is across the street stores and some action so the location is a plus’s that’s that’s it no free breakfast no food available at hotel but in the area yes no late checkout but offered an early check in that was a plus hot tub didn’t work and needed upgrading it’s a Telly where I live pay the extra dollar for better or Payless for this stay my opinion thanks.

OMG!! it is absolutely unimaginable that this hotel is still in business!!! I am a frequent visitor to Miami Beach and I have stayed at some of the smallest art deco properties and the largest five-star properties there. Based on an incentive offered by my airline, I decided to try the Z Ocean. This property was recently acquired by a new group, that obviously are not concerned with the quality of this property. Upon check there was urine on the toilet from a previous stay; soiled linen; vents; and uncleaned floors, furniture, and fixtures. They even had painting tape covering the smoke/fire detectors in the room.......although, the rooms appeared as though they had not been painted in decades. There are no locks securing the bathroom, and the entire property has a smell of mold! I am generally easy going about my stays and understand the nuances that go with staying in an area of frequent destinations, but this property is FLAT OUT NASTY!! I stand by this review!

The hotel presents itself very nice on website. But beware - although in a nice active part of south beach, it is one of the hotels in most disrepair. Pool was unappealing with no view, the premises itself was old, dirty and mismanaged. The hotel is being painted. What’s being painted is just the old walls and doors and moulding. Only one very slow elevator is working- you were told not to use the stairs. The bicycles they offer are being repaired, the pool table and shuffle board table are ancient. My advice is try another hotel.
