The Lorraine Hotel Hotel - Page 1

Do not believe the website, or the other reviews. This place is a dump, in a bad part of south beach. There were sketchy people hanging outside and in the the lobby of the hotel. I immediatly checked out of this hotel and requested my money back. Because they have a 24 hour cancellation rule, i was not given my money back, but was told i could speak to the manager about it. At the time he was not in, so i called the hotel 6 times and left messages for him every time. Never a call back. Apparently this disrespectful manager knows nothing about running a hotel. How can one sleep at night knowing he rips people off like this. The Lorraine Hotel is just wrong for you.

The rooms were not clean, the bathroom floor around the toilet was filthy. The bed was lumpy and both the box spring and the mattress were encased in a heavy plastic bag. It was noisy to sleep on.

I don't know what to say about this place, since I don't like being negative. That said, I'll start with the good things about the hotel: It's close to the beach (you would have to walk more to get to your car at home in the morning, it's that close) and it's not expensive.

OK, now onto the bad. First off, if you're a light sleeper (like I am), you'll be miserable because you could hear rain fall on a cotton ball here. Yes, it's that bad. You can hear people in the next room (meaning they can hear you as well). Your bed is on wheels and considering that the floors are tile, that's not a good mix at all. The rooms are very Miami Vice, and I'm not talking about the 2006 Miami with Jamie and Colin, so that's bad, very bad.

And parking? What parking?! There's no parking at the hotel, it's about a block away and for certain times, you have to pay.
