The Marlin Hotel

. Great hotel. Very comfy beds, dood shower.Excellent location. , Staff is very friendly they gave us chairs and an umbrella for the beach for free. .Paula at the reception was super nice and helpful I don’t have more to add but need at least 200 letters

The service was excellent. From the person who checked us in, to the fabulous and very accommodating bartender. Rooms were very clean, roomy modern, and had charging stations by the bed. Very nice couch/seating area. Large shower and a vanity with good counter space. This will be my MIAMI go to hotel from now on.

Communication with this hotel is terrible!! They do not answer any emails. I have a problem with the deposit, 400 USD, and I have sent them 3 emails asking when the deposit would be booked back to my creditcard. I still have not received any response. Before our stay I also sent them some emails with questions about parking, but only after emailing 3/4 times I got a short response. We booked 2 nights in August for 2 rooms. In the first room the airconditioning did not work, also after replacing a battery because it said 'low battery'. We then changed to another room in which the television did not work at all and many of the sockets did not function. The airconditioning did work but made a lot of noise. The upkeep of the rooms is bad and so is the WIFI. The only positive thing at this hotel is the restaurant (which is not owned by the hotel). The food there is excellent!

Adorable hotel with extra friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Perfectly located in great, fully renovated art deco building. Beautiful restaurant inside. Only downside is no pool but if that’s not a necessity, it’s perfect. Highly recommend and will stay here again.

I would absolutely caution against booking this property. We were booked for a few days in March of this year. We did NOT know about the street shutdown in the area around the hotel for Spring break. The hotel did send some information about this THE MORNING of our reservation. We were already in the air coming from Seattle, flying to Miami so did not see this information or have time to make other arrangements. One in our party is disabled and there was nowhere to drop them off before finding a garage blocks away that we would then have to drag our belongings to the hotel in an area we did not know at all. When we tried to cancel after arriving to find a hotel that could better accomodate our party, the person on the phone was exetremely rude and cruel and the hotel never refunded any of our full cost. We paid full price with no refund and never even stayed there. DO NOT stay here!

Beware!! This hotel serves expired half and half and the smoke detectors in your room are expired as well (needs to be replaced every 10 years, but theirs were installed in 2010 and never replaced). And the little boy who's working there cannot work with the public. This was my worst experience in an hotel in my whole life! I stayed for a week in this hotel and the smoke detector in my room started beeping at 10PM on April 24th (low battery). I asked the receptionist (who never answers the reception's phone because he always has his headphones on) to bring me a new battery and it took him 30minutes to tell me that he doesn't have a battery and just live with it. I insisted that I can't sleep with the fire alarm beeping like this. He told me that if I am not happy I can go buy one. I spent 2 400$ at this hotel and a little impolite and disrespectful boy tells me to go buy a battery for their smoke detector if I can't sleep with the constant beeping, that's crazy!! I was shocked and let him know. He then said that he texted his manager to come and bring a simple 9V battery while there is a convenience store literally 2min from the hotel. I waited for 1 hour for the manager to come for a 9V battery. When he showed up to my room at midnight, I was explaining to him why I was upset when the little boy at the reception came to my room and started screaming and insulting me at midnight right in the middle of the hallway in front of his manager, thus waking up all the hotel guests at midnight!! I've never seen anything like that, being verbally attacked and physically threatened (receptionist started taking pictures of me in front of his manager without my permission, and the manager didn't say anything) in an hotel is a brand new experience for me! Pretty sure he has some major mental issues.

Just don't go there, some people working there are not doing their jobs and are very impolite, acting like 12 year olds in high school.

Love boutique and unusual places which have soul - and Marlin is definitely the soul of Art Deco district. With its incredible history which ties to music superstars as Prince, U2, Mick Jagger, and even Madonna - it's a gem of the urban utopia.

I visit the National everytime I come to Miami. Everyone who helps me there is the reason I keep coming back. Erik, Sola, Ioanna, Yulia everyone who works there makes my experience so wonderful. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone visiting Miami come and spend the day at National pool and bar. You will not regret it!
