I've visited Miami at least annually for 40+ yrs, and the latter ones The Mimosa Hotel has been our preferred lodging. It is small and intimate, has a perfect location central to everything, the rooms were lovely and some have kitchenette facilities. The pool area in back was something to behold, the ocean was right there, and they've parking across the street. At the moment, it's being renovated/updated, so the pool area is temporarily closed and you've to go around the building to get to the beach ~ YES, these are inconveniences, but their current low prices (for the area) reflect that and make it a good value. I should add I was there this time to attend my Dad's funeral, and all 3 gentleman who man the reception desk at various shifts, aware of the sad circumstances, went well above the call of duty to be accommodating and make my stay as smooth as possible. Their kindness will be remembered.

Chris is the best reception received. Rooms are were tidy and clean. We got to stay in the renovated room which was intimate and pretty. Beach was literally around the corner. Beach showers and bathroom are there too to wash up. A cute eclectic park for children is there too.

Many restaurants nearby. Beach was clean and clear. Not far from a nice stroll in North Bandshell. 20$ taxi ride to south beach or downtown.

Hotel gives you towels for the beach. Breakfast is a small variety and you pay 10$ otherwise there’s a great bagel place across the street.

The hotel is under renovations so there wasn’t a pool but you visit Miami for the setting and the beach. When renovated, it will have revamped rooms, pool and rooftop terrace!

We stayed for a week and enjoyed it very much!
