Beach Front Studio

Great sea room view and easy access to the beach.

Nice simple room, for an adorable price it was what we were expecting. It was clean and simple with a nice bathroom. Beach access and pool were nice

Room was cute and clean. Lobby was nice. Perfect distance to beach. Big heated pool.

The location is the best part with this studio/hotel. So close to the ocean and a pool for the kids who find the salty water to salty. Public parking close @ alison park and indian creek drive (much cheaper than the hotels paringspots). If you plan to have quality time in your apartment, then you might get disappointed. Because its a plain room with no extra (ok maby the ocean view counts as extra)

Property was not clean. Microwave oven is not working. Heating system not working. not may eatery places within the walkable distance. Huge parking fee of $35 per day was charged. It should have been disclosed in the quote but conveniently skipped.

Unit needs a little attention (loose shower handle, not draining properly, gate to beach has no security), but right on the beach with good size pool

I went to Casa Blanca to celebrate my daughter’s 10 birthday. The pics online is nothing how the place looks like. My room was old with old furniture. The bathroom’s roof needs to be fixed, we almost got stuck in the elevator. I like the area, great options to eat. The pool was great and the accessibility to the beach. However, I’ll not choose this place next time.

I like the 24hr valet parking but you do have to pay a daily fee.

Its close to the beach

The building had no heat. It was cooler the week we stayed and our room was 60.

When i arrived at 4AM someone was in my room. Had Double booked us. Told me we’re given the wrong room number. The room we paid for was a Ocean View. They gave me an extra night with a half ocean view and city where there was construction workers looking in my room the whole time. After the night we found bite marks all over our bodies. Bed bugs. i felt unsafe because the security guard cat called me and asked me to dance on him? Just completely ridiculous. -5/10

The hotel was very dirty, the room was extremely dirty I never took off my shoes because the floor was disgusting. Mirror wasn't cleaned and dirt on door and walls. The AC was not working most of the week. No clean towels. The front desk was for parking payment only. No one to connect with regarding all the issues! The description said beach front studio but we had a view of a parking lot. Very disappointed with Expedia! And I thought I was going to get a partial credit but that hasn't happened.

The unit was dirty, cofee machine and toaster showed long time dust sticked to them. Cutlery had chunks of old food. We needed to clean everything as soon as we arrived. We rented it for 4 people though there where only 2 glasses, 2 beach towels, 2 big shower towels, 2 medium and 2 hand towels. Teflon on pans was distroyed as if it has been in use for years. In the posted picks the unit was supposed yo have an excelent view, whem we arrived we saw you do see the sea of you get close to the window and look yo your left. Otherwise you see a huge never maintained terrace and all the rest of the units looki g at you through the window.

good located (beach, Highway) horrible condition horrible cleanliness horrible WIFI good price

Hello, I stayed with my husband at the Casablanca hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. I was unaware that each condo inside the hotel was privately owned by different individuals. We had issues with our air conditioning. It was hot and muggy in the room. We also had issues with our television, as it would reset every single day, in Spanish. We were told by the front desk that we had to contact the individual owner about the television. We decided to try and figure it out ourselves, as we are on our honeymoon and didn’t want wasted time. We asked the front desk for a roll of toilet paper, only to be told once again to contact the private owner. Their is a kitchen in our condo, however every dish was extremely greasy and dirty, like it hadn’t been washed for the next guests. The cabinets and floors were extremely dirty as well. I was intending on having a better stay here for my honeymoon, but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy my stay here. I contacted the hotel about this issue & they were extremely rude and told me to use a travel agency next time. It’s clear I used Expedia and never had this problem. They said that this used to be a hotel but no longer is, and that it’s just private apartments. They did not specify that when booing or after booking. UNTIL I sent an email. I’m not sure if casabalanca is the name on Expedia, but it’s not a hotel anymore. We paid a good amount for this, I am in hopes for a possible partial refund, as this wasn’t what I had expected.

REVIEW: 1 star – I would give ZERO if I could. I stayed here from July 25th to July 28th, and this was by far the worst hotel experience of my life. The room was DISGUSTING. It smelled like urine the moment I walked in. There were BLOODSTAINS on the bed, hair inside the freezer, the bathroom was clearly not cleaned, and the towels were dirty. The entire place looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in weeks — maybe months. Absolutely unacceptable. I contacted the front desk, and they were completely useless, showing zero interest in helping. The so-called “owner” of the apartment never returned my calls and clearly didn’t care about the situation. It got so bad that Expedia themselves told me to check out early and request a refund. I followed their instructions, only to end up with nothing. I lost money, dealt with a huge amount of stress, and had to find another place to stay last minute during my trip. Expedia didn’t even bother to offer me a gift card or any sort of compensation. To make it even worse, at the moment of check-out, I saw at least two other families complaining about the exact same issues — dirt, filth, horrible smell — and no action was being taken. This isn’t an isolated problem. This place is just gross and badly managed. Their customer service is an absolute joke. Sure, they pick up the phone, but that’s about it. No real action was taken. I was left stranded in a situation that should’ve never happened in the first place — the room was nowhere near

Well, what can I say the reviews are correct. I was searching for an off the property that wasn't going to break the bank. This is not a hotel these are rented apartments and condos. With that being said, it depends on the tenant who owns the room, you will be staying that is going to give you a great room or bad room. There was roaches I had to buy raid to keep them at bay. When contacting the owner he would not reply but he did send someone from the building to come "check" out the situation. Not sure what that was going to do. The cherry on top was when I initially got there the first thing the young lady at the front desk told me was we have an issue because the tenant has not paid there dues, so we're not sure if you can come in. That just shows the level of unprofessionalism from the establishment itself. I shouldn't have to be let known of any of those things that are not in my power, and have nothing to do with me.

Great sea room view and easy access to the beach.

room was unconfortable air did not work

The un8t itself was ok. I thing fancy but it was clean and the staff were very nice. I was just VERY disappointed that the rom looked nothing like the picture. Not even close. I understand a wal instead of a window or slightly misrepresented but that picture is modern and right on the beach. Our unit needed work and was in a hotel.

Scam - showed a photo of an ocean view room with a balcony and the actual room was overlooking steet. Completely different room and in bad shape.

Public parking close @ alison park and indian creek drive (much cheaper than the hotels paringspots). If you plan to have quality time in your apartment, then you might get disappointed.

The room was clean, safe, and affordable. The room and building were very dated. The pictures that advertised the room were obviously not what the room and the location actually looked like.

We stayed in room 402. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. The cooking supplies were limited, but adequate. A measuring cup would have been helpful, but everything else was fine. The convection oven/microwave combo was a pleasant surprise. The beach chairs and umbrella were also nice. We enjoyed our stay and loved the area. The Collins Express trolley was fantastic for visiting different locations along the beach. We loved all of the restaurants nearby and the boardwalk along the beach. We received excellent communication prior to arriving and periodically throughout our stay. The property was somewhat dated and not all rooms had balconies, but ours did. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and were pleased with the price and location.

This property is THE CASABLANCA on Collins Avenue and 63rd street in Miami Beach. As I entered the room I noticed a new floor fan in a box on bed then realized AIR CONDITIONING does not work. I tried to contact the owner of the unit via email and phone calls but no reply for three days. The anverage temperature outside was 74 degrees the room temperature was 86 degrees.

I get to the hotel and i needed access code, host sent me nothing and stayed stranded the night since host never answered the phone. Need full refund.

Nice area, pool was great, the studio did not supply enough towels for 4 people, not even a wash/face cloth to wash my face, nor 4 beach/pool towels. I contacted and owner and they never sent anything.

The place in convenient but the property needs upgrade and maintenance. The apartment I stood in did not look like the pictures.
