Haddon Hall Hotel South Beach, Miami Beach

Costumer service was terrible Julia front desk is Rude and un pleasant Rene the reservation person was an Ass you now what not professional . The location is great you pay for a location only not service or cleanliness !

Sad place to stay,I'm very disappointed with their customer sevive skills. First and last time

it clearly says that check in is in the afternoon... so we just left the bags n start enjoying south beach. the rooms r perfect, clean, big , windows n great AC!!! also i was surprised with the little plce for cocking inside the room,. yes!! theres is a little kitchen, sink n plates n first needs for coockin! so breakfast or dinners we can organized oruselves, big pool they make oru bedroomeveryday, also everyday change deb n towels..really surprised and satisfied..the only little detail dat doesnt fit here is the man in charge of the desk at night, very grumpy n useless..but in the morning n afternoons the ladies r so helpful n polite! u must try it, the money ull pay is nothing for the good days ull spend here.. is a nice n clean place n near everything: beach, starbucks lincoln road..everything!

My experience at the Haddon Hall was a diaster. Me and my friends came early hoping to check in, that absolutely didn't happen. There was no early check in, and everyone that was waiting to check in were sleep in the lobby. It was very old and a dirty. The toilet at the restaurant down the street was cleaning. Don't give this hotel a chance!!

Seriously, I went as a college student on spring break. naturally, as you can imagine my standards for lodging were less than the average consumer. Even I, mr. bud light, passed-out-on-the-beach, need-a-place-to-hang-my-towel, was taken aback. First impressions are everthing right? it was late March and there was still a Christmas tree on full display. I think they were even proud of it. During the course of the week, I was offered drugs by the other "patrons," witnessed a gang fight at the pool, was unable to scale the perimeter to retrieve a football due to the prison-style barbed wire topping the wall, and robbed by a hobo when passed out by the pool (my camera and blanket were taken). So you, Mr. economy shopper, look elsewhere to take sally and little mike. But you, Mr. dope-fiend.... you've found home. (also recommended for college spring breaks. i had a blast, just don't expect much)

When I first booked my stay with the Haddon Hall Hotel through a third party group called SpringBreakDirect.com, I thought I had made the best decision in my life. I went down to South Beach Miami for Spring Break 2006. Then I read the previous 7 reviews, and I became a little weary about the money I spent on the hotel. Once my friends and I came to the hotel, we were surprised that we had to pay a $50 refundable depoit per person (because I was told before by the desk attendants that it was just $50 per room). Anyways, all 5 of us paid the money, and moved into the room. Like the other people stated, the one-on-one customer service was pretty poor, because the people spoke broken english. Once we came into our room, which was a Junior Lanai Suite, that had a pull out, queen couch bed, a King size bed, a separate kitchen area that had a full refrigerator, a stove, and sink, and a full bathroom, we were pretty happy about our situation. Our situation was that we each paid $315/person for 7 nights, which calculated out to $225 per night (this cost was kind of high because of the third party company). Throughout our stay, we saw that other people did not get as lucky as we did. Some people who paid for their hotel weeks in advance would come to check in only to find out that the hotel was overbooked and there was no way for them to stay in the hotel for their break. I also was able to see the regular double rooms, which were not that bad either. These rooms had two queen size beds, a small stove, a refrigerator, and a bathroom. The hallways in the main part of the hotel were dimly lit, but the hotel in general did have an older feel. Come to find out, the hotel is considered a historical landmark, and are not hassled by the state government to make sure the hotel is clean. The location of the hotel was also great. As soon as you walk out of the front on Collins Ave., you are in the middle of everything. There are hotels, restaurants, and stores up and down the strip. Along with a nice bar called The Lost Weekend on Espanola Way, which is on the same block as the hotel (just around the corner). When you walk on to Washington Ave, which is parallel to Collins Ave. there is this club on the same block as the Haddon Hall, called CroBar, which is pretty nice. The inside of the club is something you would see in a movie. In general, I enjoyed my stay at the Haddon Hall Hotel. To be honest, if I wanted to stay at the Haddon Hall again, I would go through a third party like springbreakdirect.com because they have more pull than just one person, in terms of booking rooms. I know if my frineds and I went directly through the hotel, there was a great chance that we would not of had a room. If you are on a budget, I would suggest hotels like The Clevelander (on Ocean Ave.), which is a hotel, a restaurant, club and a bar. I suggest hotels on Ocean Avenue, which is directly on the beach, and Collins Avenue. Don't bring the family to the Haddon Hall, this is more of a Spring Breaker spot (for 21 year olds).

The staff at Haddon Hall are simply unfriendly and not at all accomodating. There were no smiles or hellos as we checked in. Once we got into our hotel lobby we noticed unsanitary, old and stained carpets. The walls were stained and it just felt as if we were in a cheap run down motel. Once we got to our rooms we were assigned we noticed a do not disturb sign on our door. Still we managed to walk in only to discover that our beds were not made and the covers were all off. Immediately we called front desk and were assigned another room on a different floor. This room was not any better. The carpets were too dirty and stained. I did not walk on the carpets with my barefoot because I was scared to. The beds had worn out covers and my pillow had a stain. The bathrooms are old and dirty. Its just plain pathetic!!! The amount they charge for a night is ridiculous to what you are getting in return. Haddon Hall does not even provide parking for their guests so you have to find a public park. Don't plan on feeling safe when you walk in late at night either as their security is basically non existant. I am surprised that the hotel has not shut down due to unsanitary and unsafe conditions. I definitely do not recommend Haddon Hall hotel to anyone. Luckily we only had to spend one night there and my husband managed to find another hotel where we could stay. My recommendation is to stick to hotel chains you know rather than finding no namers like Haddon Hall because they have no standards.
