Kent Hotel

The front desk staff were fantastic and very helpful, particularly Josh. The location is great. The room was quiet and clean, and a good size. The bed was confortable. The bathroom was clean. The airconditioning unit was great. There was adequate storage space.

The Kent is reminiscent of classic 40s/50s Miami. The lobby and decor are a perfect fit for the area, but the kids thought the elevator was the best part. The rooms were the right size for the three of us (my kids are bigger than I am!) with ample room for our luggage and belongings. The Kent offers queen size beds- unbelievably hard to find last minute in the area- with soft sheets and comfy pillows. There was a big shower with perfect water pressure, which is so important when coming back from swimming! Josh, the night clerk, was quick and respectful upon check-in. He offered plenty of recommendations, like the restaurant next door. (We chose lunch for breakfast because the menu was amazing). Josh even called me by name each time we left and returned to the hotel. Wes, now, Wes was the best, helpful and interesting. He told me where to go for swim trunks and souvenirs, so I didn't have to leave the area. Wes was quick to help when we needed it, and he was an interesting guy to chat with. The valet service was beyond convenient because parking in the area was frustrating. The fee was reasonable and service was fast.

Alex at the front desk was outstanding as well as the rest of the staff. Restaurant was very good 20% discount for guests 🙂 Room price good for area. Happy Hour drink and food prices were excellent.

The Kent hotel is just a stones-throw away from Ocean Drive and was very easy to reach and access. There was a parking space right outside the entrance where you could load and unload (for 15 minutes). Just a couple of blocks away was a parking garage that charged 20 Dollars for a 24-hour parking (it's also fully possible and legal to park in the street, in assigned parking spaces). A quick two-minute walk back to the hotel. The staff were kind and very engaged in our well-being. Room was on the smaller side but accomodated our needs (family of four sleeping in two queen-sized beds that were very much to our liking, wide and not too soft, we slept well). As in many hotels along the way, though, the AC-unit was surprisingly noisy - but within tolerable parameters. Heard some of the general commotion from Ocean Drive, and from the restaurant connected to the hotel, but weren't really disturbed by it. All in all a fully satisfying stay!

The hotel is centrally located with easy access to everything you could want. The rooms were lovely, comfy beds, exceptionally clean and lovely bathroom. There is an in room safe, iron, hairdryer and fridge available. Great reception staff, especially Josh! Absolutely would stay here again and cant recommend the hotel highly enough for everything you need for a stay in South Beach.
