Hotel way over priced for what was offered. The Hotel rooms are clean and large but the location is not on one of the nice streets of South Beach which is Collins or Ocean. It is located on Washington and is across the street from a strip club. Many bums and homeless people on the street and I didn't feel safe walking there at night.
The hotel Lobby is nothing special and smells a bit musty. The breakfast area was not inviting so we did not eat there.

Overall I did enjoy my stay but was shocked that they charge over $300 a night for that location and the way the hotel looks ! It is so not worth it. We were supposed to stay 6 nights but ended up staying only 2 and moving to a different hotel for the rest of the nights. We just felt like we were being ripped off!

We spent a night in Miami on our way to the Keys and wanted to get a taste of South Beach, so we spent one night at the Courtyard. Their location is great for experiencing all the South Beach restaurants, shops etc., but without having to sleep in the midst of all the late night noise. It's a short walk to the beach. The rooftop pool is very nice. The breakfast buffet was fairly good, but there are other more interesting choices close by for the same money. The only parking is valet, $20/day if I remember right. However, there are also 2 public garages a half block away, which we used. I would stay here again.

My wife and I stayed here pre-cruise for one night, and wished we could stay longer! The staff were very helpful with everything we needed, including arranging a taxi to the pier for us. The room was on the small side, but completely adequate and very clean. Also, the hotel is within walking distance of everything you'd want to visit in South beach, including the beach itself, and the pedestrian mall. Breakfast was great also!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Coutyard Miami Beach South Beach.

My husband and I booked a group block through the group function on [--]. We had an outstanding experience with our block from day 1. As minor issues arose, the CMBSB rose to the occassion and remedied all situations.

The stay itself was wonderful. Our room was clean and nicely appointed. The only issue we did have is that the thermostat didn't work, and consequently, our room was FREEZING. However, it seems that we were the only ones who had this problem.

The staff was superb--consistantly helpful and friendly.

The rooftop pool is breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL.

I would no recommend eating the breakfast. It was something like $20 for two people and was, truthfully, quite subpar. I recommend walking down the street to any one of the restaurants in the south beach area and enjoying a breakfast there.

Overall, we would highly recommend the CMBSB. :)
