Book Benchmark South Beach accommodation from AU$180

This place is an absolute dump outside of location. Elevators broken and had to climb 3 flight of stairs with 5 bags. There was zero hot water in the shower and only respond from maintenance was “building is old and that’s normal”. My whole family has to take cold showers for the entire stay. Phone was broken so could call front desk had to walk up and down to talk to someone. Room cleaning didn’t come to and had to make our own beds, take out our own dirty towels. Management didn’t seem to really care either. Easily the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Shocking how this place is still in business.

Staff awesome! Elevator did not work- carrying luggage up and down- not cool. Our room was not ready at 4pm, rather 4:45. Not the cleanest, but the price was right. No coffee or micro in the room. Streaming services did not work. When I called the front desk from the room phone- no answer. Access to two pools- cool. Free happy hour from 5-6, show room key- fun!

South Beach is a very rundown area. The area and the hotel is very busy. Service is very slow. People barely speak English. The rooms at the hotel are decent but small. The bathroom is also small with no storage. Breakfast is not open buffet. They just bring you a plate with pasties and basic food. Nothing special. Pools are not bad but very busy. Ocean is very wavy. If you want just a vacation with sun and beach, go to Dominican to an all inclusive resort. South Beach is very expensive. I would stay at a chain hotel like Iberostar or Roy next time

Hotel was nice, just no storage for clothes and no microwaves. Staff was excellent, breakfast was good and room was very clean

A magical place on everything

Everything was pretty good, would’ve
