What guests think

At Whitelaw Hotel, guests consistently praise the walkable South Beach location near the beach, restaurants, and nightlife, while feedback on the stay itself is mixed, with recurring noise, dated rooms, and uneven maintenance shaping overall impressions.

Many found the staff friendly and accommodating, though others reported slow or unresponsive service, long check-in lines, and no on-site luggage storage. Room and hallway cleanliness ranges from spotless to subpar, with several mentions of odors, worn linens, and moldy or poorly draining showers. Common issues include limited in-room amenities (no phones, no microwave), spotty Wi-Fi, TVs with few channels, and occasional hot water or AC problems, while the lively on-site Mexican restaurant and bar draw praise despite high prices. Expect a practical base prioritizing location over comfort.

Cold water to shower in the morning. I asked receptionist and I was told to let water run for a while. Water and sink ran for over 30 min. and not hot water. I could not shower for two nights. Hot water is essential for a Hotel. Louis

Perfect location in Miami Beach, close to shopping, dining and beach of course. There is a public garage one block away. The room is spacious and clean. It is not that quiet since there is a restaurant outside, but it doesn't bother me.

Hotel was at a walking distance from Ocean Drive. Used public parking around the corner. Only hiccup was that on two occasions when I needed front desk assistance (including check in) there was only one staff available and we had to wait over 15 minutes for assistance.

Bed was actually a king size, not many channels on the TV (we had to login to an app) wifi goes in and out in the 3rd floor. Clean Restroom and spacious walk in shower.

Staff checking in and out acted like they were bothered to assist. 2 days after checkout I was charged for use of the minibar - I called and was told that they are serviced by a 3rd party for that and would investigate. I had to call back 2 more times with no resolution. I finally disputed wtih my credit card and was credited back the money. The only good thing about the hotel was the restaurant - the food was excellent and the server was very nice.

This hotel was not the cleanest. The hotel beach towels were very worn, room did not have any channels that worked on the tv. They pour a bunch of carpet freshener in the hallways to vacuum. The bed had a major dip in the middle of it. The shower water drains slow, you’re standing in your a puddle of your dirty shower water. I won’t book this hotel again.

Let’s start with the over powering perfume smell that they pump into the hallways. It was an instant headache and nauseating for our entire family. You could actually smell it from the street. We checked in late and were tired, but when we reached our beds they had no sheets on them. So I had to wonder down the hall and find some to bring us sheets. When we went to charge our devices after a long flight not one outlet was strong enough to hold a single plug. They were so old, they needed to be replaced. We ended up shoving a piece of furniture from the room against one outlet just to charge our items one at a time. We mentioned this 3 different times to 3 different front desk employees, but nothing was done. We also mentioned that our tv didn’t work, but they didn’t fix that eithere. They just said they had a busy day. My 9 yr old and 12 yr and myself were up multiple times in the night because the walls were so thin we could hear people moving all around. It was very loud, but not from outside noises. I wouldn’t not recommend this hotel to anyone. I never write reviews but this was beyond me that we paid for 2 days at this hole in the wall. The restraint at the front of the hotel as great! The food and the service.

The location was great but the bed was so uncomfortable the slates were broken so it was like a dip in the bed and it made noise everytime you moved. There wasn’t a security lock on the door which made it feel like someone can just come in and the walls are super thin so you can hear talking all the time. Also the TV wouldn’t stay on consistently it kept turning off. I would not recommend this place unless you just need somewhere to shower and chill a minute.

You get what you pay for. The only good thing about this property is the fact that it’s a 5 minute walk from the beach. The rooms are in terrible shape, you can hear everything from the hallways to the neighbours room. There is no quiet space…we heard people screaming in the halls at 3am every night… you can hear everything happening outside of the hotel at all hours. Room cleaning only comes every 3 days, floors in the room were falling apart…our safe was broken the day we checked in, was never fixed. We ran out of toilet paper. There is zero counter space in the washroom so there is no area to get ready …. It very much feels like a 2/3 star hotel. Our neighbour blasted their tv all hours of the night and we could not sleep…no telephone in the room to call front desk…. Like I said, only good point is that it’s close to the beach, however, there are MANY other hotels near the water that I’d stay at before this one again.

Bathroom was really nice and clean as well. Comes with a small fridge too and Tv setup to connect and stream services with. Also we were on the 3rd floor and no noise or anything from outside. Literally a block away from south beach, easy access to restaurants, and easy uber pickup out front. Would stay back here again. Very pleased

This was a horrific experience booking thru expedia because the "what you see is what you pay" rule isnt real. I got to the property and they charged me another $122 for resort fees and NOWHERE on the site (expedia and actual website). The manager was rude and I got there at 11pm didnt get in a room til almost 1am... I wasnt offered anything upon the property manager speaking with expedia and realizing I was misinformed and they said the resort fee was for a free happy hour but it wasnt even on sight it was 20min away and for a person with no car it wasnt worth what I paid. Do not stay here unless the room is literally pennies because the only good part about this hotel is its walking distance from beach

We appreciated the one positive interaction we had with the staff and were grateful that they stored our luggage when we arrived hours before check-in. However, every other interaction left much to be desired. The staff generally seemed indifferent at best and outright hostile at worst. On three separate occasions, we encountered cleaning or maintenance staff in the hallways, and each time, they rushed toward us aggressively, as if expecting us to move out of their way. It was shocking that this happened not just once, but three times. This hotel would greatly benefit from improved customer service training.
