Marseilles Beachfront Hotel Guest Reviews
Our experience at the Marseilles Beachfront Hotel was an experience I want to forget. When we booked this hotel our expectations were a clean, cozy, and comfortable experience and it was not. The room was small the bed was dingy and the bedspread had a cigeratte burn that was patched up shabby and smelled about 10 years old. The bathroom door would not close from years of paint, door jam appeared as the wood had termites, and NO WATER PRESSURE to bathe. The hair dryer on the wall was not secured therefore it fell inside the sink it was so close. The location of the hair dryer was clearly a code violation. The worst part was when we arrived the room temp was 77.F and no air thermastat in the room to control the air temp in our room. The AC unit was so old there was only one control for the floor so everyone had the same temp or higher. The air smelled so bad because the room did not have access to absorb the air in the room therefore not an efficient AC unit. We could smell cigeratte smoke from other rooms and bathroom smells in our room traveling through the AC vent and the noise the AC vent was making could not let us get a comfortable sleep. The hotel had constant air fresheners, probably because of the constant bad smell blowing from the AC unit. In addition, when we arrived on the first day, the hotel maintenance guy knocked on our door once yelling EMERGENCY!!! he needed to know if the water was turned back on he had turned it off. I told the guy off!!!!!! At that point I called American Airlines to get the hell out of there!!!!! I am going to complain about this awful HOTEL. This should not be allowed a hotel owner to capitalize and a hotel is under this condition.

die lage direkt am strand und ca. 10 minuten zu den hauptattraktionen ist super. es gibt ein günstiges parkhaus 2 blocks entfernt. wir hatten ein zimmer mit meerblick, das hat sich in jedem fall gelohnt. wer komfort sucht und pingelig ist, wäre hier sicher nicht am richtigen ort. am wochenende wird im hotelpool eine öffentliche party veranstaltet. für ein richtiges frühstück lohnt es sich 10 minuten in den ocean drive zu laufen.

I have stayed at this hotel before, but the room we got this time was smaller. We were with my 2 year old and they put us adjacent to the elevator. The doors have slats in them so you can hear everything! I know Miami is a party city so I knew that there would be noise when the clubs closed and people were coming back, but I had no idea how much noise would take place. The lobby smells too much like heavy perfume, and I took a peak inside the kitchen, scary to say the least. My room smelled like must, and my shower had black hairs all over the wall and came out like a trickle. It took like 20 minutes just to get clean. We checked out early and did not bother staying a second night in hell. The only good part of this hotel if you don't want anything fancy, is it is on the beach and close the Lincoln Rd. shopping and restaurants.

This is a an old fashion hotel with nothing going for it The rooms are awful and it badly needs updating Front desk staff could learn to answer the phone sometimes and also learn manners Noise went on all night long no security what so ever Would never stay at the Hotel or recomend it to anyone

Rooms are small, bathroom outdated, rooms noisy, and hallways smell like smoke. On the upside, the location is great, the bed is comfy, and the price is great. If you are only there to sleep and don't mind people coming and going all hours then this is an ok place to stay.
