The location was so ideal for me. Quieter part of Ocean Drive but walking distance from a lot of restaurants / Bars etc. The hotel is literally across the road from the beach where you have access to towels, beach chairs and an umbrella covered in the resort fee which is fantastic and hope they continue with. The beach was nice, clean and well staffed. Staff onsite were very professional and friendly. The room we had was nice, clean, and true to the picture, minor wear and tear; also the room we had was quiet which I liked. I would definitely stay again. However in terms of space, the King is extremely limited. There's not much space generally, also in terms of storage space and there's nowhere to sit accept for the bed. That was a drawback but nothing that would stop a return stay. The room is very aesthetically pleasing, comfy bed etc. All the things you'd want in a nice stay. The rooftop pool though small was nice. We unfortunately were charged for an item in the room we didn't use/ take, but once we highlighted this, they refunded the charge immediately which resolved it, and was obviously the right thing to do, though it did show good faith on their part. Sometimes hotel picking is a gamble but I'm very glad I ended up picking this one and would stay again :)

We absolutely adored our stay at the Betsy! The hotel itself is so charming with such a southern hospitality feel. The staff were so attentive and the rooms were adorable. Bathrooms are a tad small but that is to be expected in older hotels and hotels in Miami in general. The restaurant and bar were both fabulous and such a great location on the strip.
