Costa Norte Boutique Hotel Miami Beach

For me, the number one priority for a stay is cleanliness. Overall, our first impression of cleanliness in the hotel was a bit poor when you enter the hallway with an extremely dirty, dust-filled carpet. Upon entering the room, it looked fine - clean but very old-looking. The material on the chairs was peeling off. The bathroom was clean enough, but I still did not want to go barefoot in the shower. Note that all the towels are jet black, so you get piece of mind knowing that no stains will show up on them if there are any: Take that information however you want to interpret it. However our biggest grievance was that there was a small bloodstain on the bedsheets. I still trusted that it was probably clean and simply just a stain, but nevertheless… Gross. Overall, it’s fine as budget room. You get what you pay for. If you lower your standards enough, this place will do. On the other hand, the location was fantastic. Close to the beach and walking distance to quite a lot of fantastic restaurants.

Cute & cozy Hotel tucked away in a garden oasis in the middle of the increasingly urban North Beach neighborhood. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, public transportation, parks, & the beach! ⛱️

The staff is never there and almost impossable to reach out. There is this horrable smell in the room that won't go away even if you keep the windows and the fan on. Everything is the cheapest quality you can find. BUT at least you are 3 min to the beach. Only book if you can manage these conditions and look at it from a positive mindset. Oh and also our sink was clogged

The location is prime to the activities in the area. Many things are walking distance away and the weekend time is very lively! The host was very friendly, but there isn’t someone available at the front desk 24/7. We received the last room, and I can see why it was left over. The water leaked from the shower onto the bathroom floor no matter how we showered. The sheets were consistently moist from the humidity in the room and the more we blasted the AC the sicker we felt. Both of us have been coughing and complaining of congestion for the entire stay. I think the property manager needs to change the filter in the AC machine or check the room for mold, because neither one of us feels good after our three nights stay there. Furthermore, the remote was missing the top cover for it. Whenever I checked for someone to help, the person was gone from their spot at the front desk or we didn’t have time to ask. The fridge wouldn’t stay closed. We had to put something on the outside by the door handle to keep it closed.

Unfortunately, this hotel looks much better in photos than it does in reality. At first glance it seemed fine, but a closer look revealed broken and chipped tiles, rust on the drapery posts, and poor cleanliness. The shower had visible hair left behind, and the glass door was covered in spots. Walls had handprints and grease marks, and the overall smell in the room was unpleasant. The only positives were the great location and the friendly staff.

There were hairs on the window and the room smelled a bit funny. The bed was very creeky and there was expired popcorn as a snack option. But even so we had a very comfortable stay, slept well, the air con and TV worked well.
