7.4/10

My stay at Waldorf Towers South Beach was a mixed bag. While the location on Ocean Drive is fantastic for beach access and nightlife, the noise levels were quite high, often disrupting sleep. The room was somewhat cramped and had its fair share of wear and tear, which detracted from the overall experience.

Rooms

The room was dark, and the decor felt outdated. I faced issues with the television and had to deal with inconsistent amenities. Despite a comfy bed, the lack of cleanliness and the general wear made it feel more like a budget motel than a boutique hotel.

Service

The check-in process was quick initially, but my interactions with the staff left something to be desired. Although some staff members were friendly, others were unprofessional and did not provide the level of service I expect, especially when seeking help with my room.

Dining options were disappointing, as the hotel does not have an actual restaurant. Instead, we received vouchers for a nearby restaurant, but the limited menu and the unprofessional staff didn't meet my expectations.

I had a mixed experience at Waldorf Towers South Beach. The location is fantastic, right on Ocean Drive and close to the beach, but the noise levels from the nightlife can be quite disruptive.

Overall, it's a fun spot if you're looking to dive into the lively atmosphere of South Beach.

The ICON Cafe was pretty dope, serving delicious meals, but the service could be hit or miss sometimes. I had to wait a while for water once, but the food was solid!

They had great beach amenities like chairs and towels, which was a nice touch. The basement store also had everything I needed, but some small updates would be good.
