The Shepley South Beach Hotel

Hotel was great. Excellent location, super super clean. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Close to the beach, they have complimentary chairs and towels. Breakfast was beyond expectations. You can tell that the staff really take pride in what they do. If this hotel had a pool, it would be perfect.

The property itself was gorgeous, gave a homey feel. Staff were absolutely amazing! Everyone we encountered was lovely. It is within walking distance of the beach, location is perfect. Breakfast wasn’t so great, not many options other than breads, & no onsite parking. I will definitely stay again though

Delightful stay, felt very welcome and friendly staff, clean rooms, crisp linen and self serve continental style breakfast. Fantastic location and free use of beach towels and beach chairs. We had a great stay.

We had a great stay! Comfortable beds and clean. This an ilder hotel that has been keot up beautifully. The staf was so nice and helpful. A parking garage is less then a block away for $20 a night. Easy acces to the beach. The hotel will supply beach chairs, towel and umbrella!

The hotel was very clean and had the boutique feel to it. We stayed in a suite. The TV was attached to the wall and could not be viewed from the bed. We like suites for extra room but do not spend much time there except for the bathroom and bed, so that was a disappointment. Also, there is no counter or vanity space for make up, curling iron etc... in the bathrooms, just 2 small pedestal sinks. South beach was quite a different place than it was 20 years ago. If we return we would most likely be up north. Otherwise, the staff was kind, no elevators, but they have a staff elevator to take your luggage up to your room. They offer a continental breakfast and have a nice patio that is covered. The bed was comfortable.

I travel to SoBe often and this was the first time staying at this property. Very basic place no bar or pool on site. Close to the beach but you must carry beach chairs to and from the beach. The quality of the beach items are very limited. The breakfast bar is interesting. And the free water is in a jug in the share fridge. Made me giggle! Gus at the front was great! Super funny man. Hotel was clean, and housekeeping was on point. Overall, I feel the price was too high for the lack of amenities. I’d stay again IF the price dropped.

What I liked about the property is the location on Miami beach and the charm, great breakfast, clean rooms (on the small side but clean), and close to Espanola Way (5-10min), beach (5min), and so much more! Also, should out to the breakfast lady that set up breakfast every morning and is so sweet and all the daytime staff who were so helpful and kind. Now on to the negative. When we arrived, I was with my 71 y/o mom, 2 little kids, and teen daughter, the elevator was broken with no projected date as to when it would be fixed and our room was on the second floor with a steep ladder. Mind you, my mom has bad arthritis. The man (with NY accent) checked us in and watched me and my stepdaughter with no help drag 6 bags up a flight of stairs without an attempt to help. He then offered no apologies or any understanding when he said we have to drag all our bags to the second floor and that my mom has a hard time walking up the stairs with her arthritis. He shrugged his shoulders and just said to wait until the morning when more staff arrives to help us with bags, a single "I am sorry for the inconvenience" would have gone a long way in customer serv. There was another older evening staff member who was extremely rude. He gave us a condescending lecture on not using a hotel elevator without a staff member and that I should have known my way around the kitchen by now, tried to explain I didn't know since during the day staff allowed us to use elevator and assisted in the kitchen.

Clean hotel with nice staff, close to the beach! I was pleasantly surprised that you can get an umbrella, sand chairs and children's sand toys!! I definitely recommend it!! The interior deserves a separate review♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!!

Well located hotel, great breakfast. Aircon a little noisy and the room was smaller than we expected. Staff were friendly and helpful and beds were very comfortable. There was paid parking nearby although it was very expensive at $30 a day.

The location of the hotel was very convenient but there was a strong smell of disinfectant or air freshener in the hotel, as if they were trying to mask other smells. I could not even eat the breakfast from the hotel (which was not much of a breakfast, just packaged bagels and mini cereal boxes) because the smell permeated everything. Also there is an elevator but I was discouraged from using it and had to carry my bag up a curvy stone staircase. The room itself was comfortable enough.

It was ok, rooms very small, had musky odor , no swimming pool

Very warm welcome from the reception team and after all day travelling a nice touch letting us go in the room an hour or so early. Lovely hotel full of art deco charm and located just moments away from South beach. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, the bed comfy and bedding premium. The only issue was the ongoing re-furb work and the generator just below my window. It wasn't an issue as it was only a few hours a day, and never after 4.30pm All the team members here were super friendly and helpful. Parking opposite ( on 13th ) is reasonable too - $20 for 24 hours. A lovely relaxing stay. Thank you.

This was our first time visiting Miami and we were ecstatic to book our stay at the Shepley. We loved the art deco style of the hotel, its charm and decor. The location couldn't be beat as it was within walking distance to a number of shops, restaurants, tour group pick-up locations and the beach. We did find the smell of the hotel quite pungent (it had a pine-deodorant smell that was overwhelming). I was sure if I'd be able to stand it as I'm sensitive to smells. Lastly, it would have been nice to have more hooks, a drying line in the shower, and more counter space in the bathroom.

Exceptionally clean, nice rooms and super staff. Very friendly. Highly recommended

Reception staff were great. Breakfast and location great. Cleanliness a little less than desirable. There was a long dark hair in the sheets.

Extremely clean hotel. Nice large corner room. Great location. Would stay again if it’s just one night. Nice front patio area. The only negative is you’ve got to keep the curtains closed because the view is into an alley.

Wonderful hotel, spotlessly clean and friendly, helpful staff. Warm welcome set the tone for our 3 night stay.

Very clean room. Walking distance to beach. 2 minute walk to bus stops. 5 minute walk to restaurants. Friendly staff

Most horrible hotel experience ever MOLD EXPOSURE! DONT BE FOOLED BY ALL THE TAKE REVIEWS. Absolutely disgusting pictures speak for them selves not only are they FALSE ADVERTISING WITH DIFFERENT PICTURES ONLINE BUT THE rooms AND THE WHOLE PLACE smell horrible and super humid floors are BEYOND dry rotted this is the absolute worst hotel experience we have ever experienced the moldy smell from hardwood floors is so overwhelming I felt sick just after a few minutes This has to be a safety hazard they refused to refund my money. I will be taking to my attorney

Great location. Friendly staff. Shower heads not working correctly. Bottled water not available.

The hotel is ok. We had room 204. At night the light from adjoined building is very bright. I could read a book in bed with all the lights off and blinds closed. The bathroom looks ok, but is not functional. Almost zero water pressure, the rain head didn’t work. There is no storage in the bathroom for personal affects… not even a toothbrush. The furniture in the lobby is also in need of a refresh. The morning breakfast was a nice surprise, and the front porch was enjoyable to sit on and have a coffee. The proximity to the beach and shopping is a positive, as are the staff that were always helpful.

Next door property is being renovated and this was noisy. Also the aircon is very very noisy. The room is very small for 4 people and not enough space for clothes to hang up

Nice Little Hotel in a very good location. The room was a bit to small otherwise everything were good

Extremely clean hotel. Nice large corner room. Great location. Would stay again if it’s just one night. Nice front patio area. The only negative is you’ve got to keep the curtains closed because the view is into an alley.

One negative point: noise a lot of guests upstairs and hallway

Amazing location on Collin’s Ave. very walkable with wonderful restaurant options. The hotel is retro, but old. Rooms small and the bathrooms updated and nice.

Very nice as good as the pictures. Air-conditioning a bit loud.

The room is small. Other than that all are good.

Bed was great. Needs a remodel. Would be nice if there was a small desk available in the room. Phone didn't work. Breakfast nothing like the pictures...

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Great service and loved the beach towels and umbrella the hotel provided.

The service was superb! The staff was friendly and efficient! I can't say enough good things about The Sheply!

Great hotel in the perfect location. From check-in to check-out everything was wonderful. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Breakfast is a plus and sitting out on the porch was a nice daily activity we enjoyed several times during our stay.

Everyone was amazing. Loved Gus he was the absolute best

It's a little bit updated, perhaps that's the intention no complains. Nice vintage decor, little nice hotel, not else other than rooms and lobby. Great location. Self breakfast included good with fresh orange juice. I had a not welcoming gesture at check-in, I regretted having booked here at the time, anyway the rest of my stay was good so disappointment vanished. If you get a room on first floor, you'll hear every step from room above you.

Shower really was weak and too close to wall. When asking for a late check out (only 1 hour later) I was denied with no question.

The people of the front desk are amazing, they help you with your luggage , even from and to the sidewalk. They hold your luggage if you arrive earlier. The hotel is spotless and smells good. Location, it is right in the center of everything in South Beach, but the rooms are surprisingly quiet and you don’t hear the noise. Breakfast was included and even a free bottle of wine. What else can we ask? I will come back for sure.

Great location and nice front porch but lobby and rooms are small and cramped. Service could have been friendlier. Called about a room request and they said it was automated and could do nothing. Had to leave our luggage since the room was not ready and it was just sitting in the lobby which did not feel secure. Crumbs and dirty couches in the lobby but rooms were clean. They did offer fold up beach chairs but they were broken and uncomfortable. Worked for us for a night but would not stay longer.

What I liked about the property is the location on Miami beach and the charm, great breakfast, clean rooms (on the small side but clean), and close to Espanola Way (5-10min), beach (5min), and so much more!

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice boutique hotel.

This location is beyond perfect. In walking distance to the beach, as well as plenty of restaurants and shopping stores. We didn’t need a vehicle for any of our festivities. Great stay!! Thank you

Nice Little Hotel in a very good location. The room was a bit to small otherwise everything were good

Great location. Great staff. Great price. You really can’t beat this hotel.

Very clean room. Walking distance to beach. 2 minute walk to bus stops. 5 minute walk to restaurants. Friendly staff

Location was the best, walkable to South Beach, lots of nice restaurants around, centrally located for tourists.

Great property only seconds from the beach. Plethora of dining and entertainment options within walking distance. Quiet stay in a beautiful hotel.

Central location, clean, art deco style, beautiful!

The Shepley is two blocks from beautiful Miami Beach with beach chairs and towels to borrow. When you’ve had enough sun there are amazing restaurants all within a couple blocks. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful and do their best to give you the best experience.

Great value for price. 100yards from Ocean Drive

Hotel was great. Excellent location, super super clean. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Close to the beach, they have complimentary chairs and towels. Breakfast was beyond expectations. You can tell that the staff really take pride in what they do. If this hotel had a pool, it would be perfect.

If you're going to stay in South Beach, the Shepley Hotel is the spot. It's family friendly and the staff are super helpful. The breakfast is meh and they'll run out if you get there late, but you can find numerous breakfast options nearby.

Wonderful restored historic boutique hotel. Small, quaint and very clean! Service was so friendly. The continental breakfast is more than just pastries and coffee. It included ham and cheese. It is wonderful to enjoy a cup of coffee on their beautiful front porch and watch the people. It is on Collins St and only a short walk to the beach. We are glad that we stayed on Collins Street instead of Ocean Boulevard. It was much quieter and less chaotic yes still very active and interesting. I would highly recommend the hotel!

Old small but a very nice hotel. B b nnn.nnñ..ñnnnn. ñ .ñExcellent staff. Very friendly. Limited breakfast selection. Very convenient location. Quick block to the beach. Plenty of shopping and restaurants around. Loved that there was a drug store within one block from the property to grab extra

Original pictures in Expedia showed a pool but no pool. Limited dining in the area. Rooms are very small and have a strange odor. Breakfast was sub-par.

Staying was very good. Hotel is very good and breakfast good, besides no tables and chairs

The property was cosy, welcoming, appropriate clean. The staff, especially the day time staff were professional.

The hotel is in a nice location. However, the air conditioning in the room was very loud, and the breakfast in the morning was mediocre. I wouldn’t recommend this place for those who need a bit of flexibility with the checkout time.

Great quiet place. They provide a continental breakfast with no eggs. There are plenty of breakfast or brunch places walking distance if you want eggs, pancakes, etc. Very nice staff. The hotel is close to everything. They also provide beach umbrellas and like camping chairs, not lounge chairs for the beach. For the ladies, I suggest to bring your own blow dryer, the hotel does provide blow dryers in the room but they are a little older. Overall great place, staff, location. I would definitely stay here again.

The Shepley Hotel is a nice, family friendly little hotel with very good service. They offer a nice little breakfast and the rooms are clean and functional. We can really recommend it to enjoy a nice stay near Miami beach and the Ocean Drive.
