The Kent Hotel offers a convenient location in the heart of South Beach, making it an ideal spot for exploring the area. The staff was courteous and welcoming throughout my stay. However, I was somewhat disappointed by the level of noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms, which affected the overall comfort. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was not functioning, preventing access to television or streaming services. The property presents more as a modest accommodation, somewhat reminiscent of a motel 8 but slightly elevated. It would be suitable for a brief stay of one or two nights, but may not meet expectations for a longer visit. read more

Stopping in quick before a cruise we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and attentive service at this older art deco style hotel. Beautifully but simply redone there is a Lebanese restaurant at ground level right on the corner with so many options you may never need to leave the property. Wes and his impressive mustache with goatee made sure we had a solid parking plan, and even offered to print our boarding passes. After testing their seafood for freshness, we were sure- we will stay here again! read more

I booked at this hotel to attend the Adobe Max conference; it was less than a mile away from the venue and seemed promising. Starting with the positives! I was pleasantly surprised by my stay here! The staff were kind (Shout out to Anthony! He was fabulous) and accommodating, eager to answer questions and help with requests. The pricing was very reasonable per night, especially so close to everything in South Beach. The room was a good size and it was nice to have a separate vanity mirror outside of the bathroom so we could both get ready in the mornings. The room had a nice, large tv on the wall, which was great for when I'd come back for the night. The couple of cons: the elevator was a lil scary (it would shudder a bit when you stepped in), but there was a staircase that you could take as well. The pillows weren't super comfy, so if we were to come again, we'd likely BYOP haha. The valet takes a bit of time, around 20 mins to grab your car, but we just called ahead of time so it would be ready for when we needed to leave, which worked out fine. If you're looking for a budget friendly stay on South Beach, I'd def recommend The Kent. It was a good experience, and for the price, you can't beat it! Very walkable area around the hotel too, so you'll have plenty of access to food as well. read more

This hotel is in a great location. A block behind Ocean Drive. It is around the corner from the Versace Mansion. Local restaurants near by and the Cleavelander a block away. Beach access is a block away as well. The room was very clean. The beds and AC were comfortable. It was better than expected. The front desk was very helpful in holding our bags because we arrived early. They also had our cars ready the next morning for our 5:30 am departure. If we come back, I would stay here. read more

The Kent Hotel - The front where the valet takes your car. - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Our party booked this hotel ONLY for two reasons - excellent location and affordable prices. The Kent Hotel was built in 1939 with the vintage elevator with a metal slide door (3 people maximum at all time). *** [Parking]: $35 per day for valet parking. There's only one designated valet spot. When someone took the valet spot, I was able to either (1) park at the temporary and adjacent empty spot or (2) drive directly to Pelican Garage Parking (1041 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139) and tell the staff that I am from the Kent Hotel. Front desk agent initially told me that expect the whole valet pick-up process to take 30 to 40 minutes, but in actuality I was able to pick my car up at the valet spot in less than 15 minutes before 8 AM each day. KEEP THE RED VALET CUSTOMER CLAIM PAPER STUB AND RED PAPER TAG FOR YOUR CAR KEY! YOU NEED THE PAPER STUB TO PICK YOUR CAR UP! Our party checked in at 11:45 PM and the hotel still charged us $35 parking fee for the last 15 minutes of the day. Valet parking is 24/7 in & out access so it is just a matter of convenience. [Price]: 3 double queen rooms x 4 nights for approximately $2k (daily parking fee not included). [Amenities]: Free Wi-Fi, one computer and printer in the lobby, no complimentary breakfast BUT the next-door Rakija Lounge (restaurant) serves daily breakfast. [Room]: Apparently I had to request cleaning service at the front counter each day and cleaning service is not available on Sunday. The staff also said just toss dirty towels outside of our room (aka leave them out of the front door). Our double queen-size bed room was pretty small. Hair dryer was hidden in the closet and worked on the 1st day, but it stopped working on the following day. Refrigerator was also hidden inside of closet. Shower had low water pressure, but temperature was just right and hot enough. *** Ultra convenient location with (1) Versace Mansion located just a block away (2) World Erotic Art Museum located two blocks away (3) Mango's Tropical Cafe (Miami Beach) located three blocks away, but visitors are giving up certain standardized service that they come to expect from Marriott affiliated hotels. Dealing with valet parking is a slight hassle upon returning to the hotel in late afternoon/night, but it is still a manageable situation and valet parking in the morning is almost never an issue. Not everyone is going to like this hotel and it's just a matter of preference - better location here or better amenities elsewhere? read more

Ehh going cheap rarely works out but I knew going in that I wanted a cheap price point with great walkability. We had a room next to us with at least 7 people in the room that was loud making it hard to sleep. I asked the desk a few times for body towels promising someone would bring them to never getting them! I see housekeeping which were all rude as hell and made it obvious they didn't like tourist. Still no towels. Miami beach reminded me why ai could never live somewhere like this after a fee hours of visiting I was over it. Oh and the cops in the lobby gave sketch vibes that matched this place for sure! read more

Staff; everyone on shift was so friendly and attentive. They help you meet your needs one way or the other. Rooms: rooms are little small and damp. Bathroom is small and have no ventilation. However, the pillows and bed is comfortable. Huge TV! Remote for the AC which is convenient to control from your bed. Cute elevator with an antique feel. Aaron and Anthony was very friendly. Gave us directions. And suggestions. We liked that they stored out luggages while we went to eat before and after Check in/out. They got the rooms ready way before our check in time which was very convenient and nice of them especially since we were with the kids. read more

This was a super affordable, trendy boutique hotel right on collins. The rooms aren't too big so don't pack too much.

Really good place for the price. Clean, friendly, and virtually none of the usual annoyances of the other slightly older deco hotels in the area. Could have given it another star but it is not a five star hotel nor does it pretend to be. Just nice, comfortable and inviting. Everything works like it's supposed to. Modern feel. No attitude from the staff. Just good times. Nice friendly tiki bar connected too. I highly recommend it. A few blocks to the beach. But unless you are staying in an actual water view room on Ocean Drive you are better off staying here. You will stress less and enjoy more. Cheers! read more

This hotel is awesome I've stayed here 3 or 4 times. The rooms are always spotless every time I've stayed. They are affordable I think and there's a cool little restaurant/hookah bar attached. Love it here I accidentally left something in my room when I checked out an expensive item I bought for myself. I called to see if anyone had turned it in and they called me back saying they had the item and they offered to hold it for me for a month. Josh helped me and I was honestly shocked when they called me back I thought I had lost the item forever. Just very classy and professionally run business and I will definitely be staying here again when i plan another Miami trip read more

Excellent customer service!! They knew us by name and were always very helpful. Rooms were clean and with great wifi service. I was here for the FutureProof conference which was on the beach directly across from 12th Street. Excellent location for both the beach and shopping. I will definitely stay here again if I come back. read more

Great hotel!! The staff there was super friendly and helpful. Arrived to the Kent hotel early ...about 12pm and the female working the front desk stated that they would hold our luggage and also directed us to the restroom if we needed to change and/or freshen up. We decided to go to the restaurant attached to the hotel for lunch and before we could place our orders, one of my rooms were ready for early check in! The second one was ready shortly after. The rooms were nice and we had views overlooking the restaurant bar & Hookah lounge, which was a vibe!! The rooms were clean and up to date. TVs were very large and the showers were nice! ** Great location, a block over from the beach action. There was a beach store next to the hotel and a mini store directly across the street!! I met about 5 different staff workers and everyone was really nice. I would def go back!!! read more

Front desk is very nice I will not knock them for that . I would not recommend this place for a family because they NEVER HAVE TOWELS AVAILABLE ! We've been here for two or 3 days now begging for towels . Every-time we are told they do not have anymore. How? And just fyi housekeeping isn't 24 hrs so I'm the evening you are on your own . read more

Location was amazing. Just literally a block away from Ocean Drive and the beach. Staff was extremely friendly. Recently renovated, but the bathroom design was a bit off. The shower had no door or curtain, so the water went EVERYWHERE. On top of that, the water pressure was low. We stayed for 3 nights and not once did our room get room service. Not sure if it was due to COVID protocols but that definitely was an inconvenience. Beware the walls are very thin so you hear everything that's going on inside and outside. It was very hard to sleep due to some loud guests and the outside crowd. loud cars/motorcycles and music. I guess those may be the cons of staying on the strip. Overall we had a good experience. read more

Arrived on Tuesday around 1:30PM. Lobby was empty and was checked in immediately by José. I stayed in room 105, a double room, and was pleasantly surprised. The room is very modern and clean. While I wasn't thrilled to be staying on the first floor, I was happy that my room was toward the back of the hotel ie further away from Collins Ave where it can get noisy. The room is an average size. I wasn't expecting a pent house suite. There's no screens on the windows. Floors are hardwood and clean. Beds are very comfortable. Front desk has complimentary beach towels. Requesting and receiving extra bath towels took no longer than five minutes. I can tell there's still some renovation being done. Bathroom looks brand new but is missing some things. A vanity would be nice for flat irons, clippers, makeup etc. also, the shower has no place to hang your wash cloth. Only a soap tray. Also, there's no fan for any ventilation. The bathroom is pretty small and the only place with good lighting so don't plan on fixing your hair/makeup with your friends all at once, ladies. There's no spectacular view from this room but that was fine with me. Get a great view by leaving your hotel and going site seeing. The beach is literally one block behind the hotel. Plenty to do. Right outside of my room was actually a parking lot for beach goers I supposed. If you decide to stay in and open your blinds, all you'll see are people and cars coming in and out of the lot. There was music playing, though very faint, up until 11/11:30PM on a Tuesday night. Didn't bother me any. No music on Wednesday night but you could hear other guests talking in their rooms and in the hallway. Noise stopped before midnight. There's little to no noise during the day, fortunately. On Thursday evening, unbeknownst to me, a drunk man came and sat outside of my hotel door. The front desk called to ask if one of my friends were locked out. I said no, that everyone was inside the room. Front desk resolved the situation immediately before I left the room. Later on that evening, either the guests above me were doing CrossFit or just having sex. Either way, it was obnoxious and I thought the bed was going to crash through the ceiling. Luckily, I was headed out for the night. When I got back in around 5AM, the hotel and surrounding areas were quiet. Checked out on Friday at 1PM and had my bags stored away for a couple of hours. This room offers smoking & non smoking rooms. I requested a non smoking room and it did not smell of any smoke upon arrival. Later on, I could smell smoke and marijuana from the other rooms. It's faint and once again, didn't bother me any. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend this hotel. You can't beat the price for the location (remember to have 10% taken off if you stay for three nights or longer). It's very modern and clean, walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shopping stores and probably one of the reasons you came to Miami, the beach. read more

When making reservation, I added a note that we would be traveling in from MI & LA and would like a nice room. Arrived at hotel before check-in time, to be greeted by Lana who is the absolute best! We were upgraded to a room with a balcony and given a bottle of champagne by I think the manager, I can't remember her name but very nice and professional lady. Each time we left out and came back in we were always greeted. Lana and Anthony have great hospitality skills. Even the young guy at the door was nice, he would see us walking and immediately get the door for us. The only negative thing is the quality of washcloths. They were very thin and hard. Other than that, this hotel was clean it smelled fresh. The Smart TV was a major plus for my guy. Will definitely stay here again read more

I want to hug and high five the manger who is in charge of hiring/training every person that works at The Kent Hotel South Beach, from the housekeepers to the restaurant staff. The hotel is literally two minutes from the beach, awesome location! The room is SUPER CLEAN, I mean... Super clean, the beds are soft, the pillows are soft , the sheets are white and clean! I mean the best deal in south beach! Location+ customer service + hygiene = HAPPINESS!!! My husband told them that it was our honeymoon, and they decorated everything! Flowers, candles, "cake towels", champagne, champagne glass! It was very special! And I had no idea! My husband called them before and they arranged everything, it was such a nice surprise! I'll definitely recommend! read more

Deceptive pricing practices if you purchase your room on a 3rd party site (like hotels.com)... this hotel charges an extra nightly fee, which if you think about it, should be part of the hotel price... the only reason a hotel would do this is to scam a tourist... (trying to make their online price look lower than it is) Having said that, aside from the checkin time being changed multiple times... finally able to get in 90 minutes later than 4pm checkin time... the room we stayed in was nice... but I won't stay in a place that tries to cheat travellers out of money like this again. I did complain about this fee to the desk worker... I was told the fee is mandatory... I would like a refund of my $60 extra fee read more

The Kent made for a wonderful stay on South Beach. I'm not brand (or location) loyal when it comes South Beach. Whatever is cheap at the time I'm booking my stay is fair game, but the Kent may change my mind on that. It is centrally located. The room was clean and updated AND had two beds which is surprisingly hard to come by for a decent price in Miami. The staff was fantastic and friendly. I have zero complaints. Highly recommend! read more

This has been my fourth stay in this establishment and gonna be the last. I stay for 2 nights from September 30 until October 2nd.

The next morning the desk clerk on duty was Monica,I again asked for a manager to discuss the problem and possible fixes.i was told that it"wasn't going to happen "and that the manager would contact me,and it's been 10days I have not been contacted.i had to go through the lengthy steps to be assured my clothes and bag did not transfer eggs to my home.

This is just what I was looking for after being pampered for a week at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. NOTHING FANCY! The Kent has many qualities that I liked. 1. Location, Location, Location 2. CD player in the room 3. Big flat screen tv 4. Purple decor!! 5. Mostly helpful front desk 6. Great price 7. Good water pressure in shower The Kent had many qualities that I disliked. 1. Room reeked of URINE if you turned the air conditioner on. (We kept it off.) 2. Small bathroom (all old hotels have them) 3. Low quality painting/maintenance/upkeep (tacky) 4. Questionable looking maids (we refused cleaning service) 5. Poor window seal made for noisy, sleepless nights and mornings I can definitely see myself staying here again, but not before I look for another option with similar location and price. read more

The Kent Hotel - Vibrant lobby - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Extremely deceptive pricing practices. Guy at the front desk is like a used car salesman, claimed this is the "last available room" and "someone else might get it" and says they're constantly booked online which was clearly full of bs. I asked for a late checkout and he refused, said they "almost never allow late checkout", meanwhile there's a sign in the room that says you get a free bottle of champagne and 1 pm checkout if you book online. I asked to extend my stay because he was being deceptive about the late checkout and the jump in price was almost $50. Do not recommend unless you like wasting your money. read more

The Kent Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This hotel was disgusting and I was totally uncomfortable during my entire visit. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE! When I got to our room I went to use the restroom and there was definitely something on the light switch. I think its safe to assume that it was human feces! The shower was also filthy-- There was hair all on the shower curtain. Also, one of our sinks in the bathroom did not work! We got a suite so that we could have two queen size beds but they were definitely full size. The hotel room only had about three lights and two of them were by the door...so it was really dark in our room. We stayed in Miami for 5days and there were pigeons outside our window every morning around 7am. They were making all kinds of noise and made it impossible for us to sleep. The elevator reminded me of a small gas chamber and we were told that it would stop if we overloaded it . LOL. I took the stairs during my stay because I didn't have time to get stuck and pass out in that thing. This place sucks and the only thing that I DID like about that hotel was the black guy who was always there to take our pictures for us when we were on our way out. read more

This hotel is amazing for family and friends thanks to the staff and the mojito Mariana Domingo thanks again see you soon

We recently stayed here for my birthday weekend in Miami (we came from NJ). Our original room was very basic and standard, but we weren't there to spend too much time inside anyways so it wasn't a big deal. The first night we heard our neighbors having intercourse really loud (the walls on the bottom floor are VERY thin, you can literally here everything from your neighbors). It wasn't a huge enough deal to complain about it so again, whatever. The next day we came back from the beach to find the ceiling leaking, and our bed wet. That was when we went and complained, but luckily they upgraded us to a much nicer room upstairs where the walls were not thin and the space was much bigger, and overall just much better. If you're planning to stay here, DO NOT go for the basic room, the upgraded upstairs ones are worth it. It's a nice place to stay considering there's tons of stuff to do nearby, there's great shopping within walking distance, it's right behind the Versace villa and the beach. It's totally worth it. Aside from that, the staff were very accommodating. The lounge downstairs is great and offers a great menu with lots of variety. I am satisfied with my stay here :) read more

THE KENT HOTEL IS THE MOST TRAUMATIZING PLACE TO STAY AT DURING YOUR VACATION!!! Because of the disgusting sewage smell coming from the bathroom and lack of housekeeping service we constantly called the front desk to complain because nothing was being done. After a while the host stopped picking up our calls at all and I was forced to go downstairs in my towel to speak to the host come to find out she muted the phone. There was never a manager on premises to speak to or if there was we were lied to and told there wasn't. The only manager we could get into contact with was a sales manager Edward Nunez and he was not accommodating AT ALL he was very rude and dismissive. He got angry due to the fact we were constantly calling in regards to our issues with our stay. After speaking to him for a while he threw a fit and no longer wanted to talk. The only thing he offered was moving us to a new room. I've spent 2 nights in a room that reeked of sewage and on my last night at 9pm he offers a new room. It made no sense. Another issue we had was the microwave situation there's no microwave in any room so we were told by the hostess to carry out our food to the restaurant NEXT DOOR and ask them and continuously beg the manager to heat it up. After an hour of waiting for a solution or an alternative... We went next door in our bathing suits and trays of food in our hand only to be rejected and told that that's not something the ever allowed. EMBARRASSED. We came back to Kent and asked them to heat up the food for us in their employee microwave and we were told there is no microwave on the premises. Clearly a lie. After TWO HOURS of going back and forth with the host and Edward Nunez the host told us she would heat up the food for us. And Edward told her "no do not heat up their food" At that point I'm hungry angry and embarrassed. I paid good money to stay at this hotel and I literally have to beg and argue for human decency. From day one I've been trying to get into contact with the manager Cynthia Perez and from day one I was told she's not there and cannot be reached by phone. I was so desperate for help I called the city which is Miami Dade 311 to see if they can step in order for the hotel to do what they expected to do... I was told I need to call the police in order to get any type of solution which was still not done because Edward Nunez refused to engage in any conversation. In the mist of all of this happening Cynthia Perez wasn't present. Being told numerous times that she'll be in which 10/18/2019 9am, 9:30am then 10am. Which I didn't understand. Our check time was at 11am of 10/18/2019 due to the fact we were trying to get in contact with higher authorities about our issues we were would told to leave the premises because they no longer wanted to deal with us so we got kick out shamefully after paying $410 to stay at an establishment that they advertise as a hotel knowing very well it's a motel & not only that remember early I stated the the conditions I've stayed in. I've stayed at multiple Airbnb's when traveling and even in my city and I've NEVER had this issue or have been neglected by a host before. There's also a host that goes by the name of Monica before I could even open my mouth to say "Good morning" to her ... she immediately dismissed me. As I did with the previous host I asked to call the manager that should've been on premises that morning which was Cnythia Perez and I was denied. After continuously complaining to her about my concerns and calling 911 she finally calls a manager which was Edward Nunez ... again that wasn't the manager I requested to speak to. Not only did Monica do all of that her & Edward Nunez decided to speak Spanish in regards to my situation which I had no idea what they were saying. I don't mind someone speaking their language to help someone that doesn't speak English but the EEOC has stated that rules requiring employees to speak only English in the workplace violate the law. After everything that happened that morning waiting to speak to the manager, being neglected, discriminated, speaking to Miami Dade 311, calling the police to get help. My friends and I missed our flight to return back home. Our flight was at 11:17am due to the lack of customer service skills & lack of conflict resolution skills of the Kent hotel employees and manager; all 3 of us had to rebook our flight which we had to repay for and because it was last minute the only flight we could've gotten on was a 9:10pm flight getting to NYC at 12:01am so that means we also sat at the airport for 8 hours without showering, brushing our teeth & doing our hair because we were kick out after the conversation in the lobby. P.S. My room was 203 the booking was under the name of Jahnique C. read more

Where do I begin. Friends/Family and myself decided to stay here for a family members birthday from 23-27. Booked the room. It was a good price. It was seven of us. Got to the hotel, hotel was kind of old but clean. Check in was smooth. Got to the room and rooms where small as hell. Roll your suitcases in one at a time and put them in the closet cause you won't have room. Now this is where it takes a turn for the worst. My family members got stuck in the elevator. Now the kicker is they had to call the fire department themselves to get out. The person at the desk who's name was Greg disappeared. He did not call for help or anything. They were stuck in the elevator for 30 minutes. The fact that they had to call for help themselves was very disappointing. He has no cares in the world. You would think they would accommodate us right? Nope they did not. Not to mention their inspection sticker for the elevators expired on Monday. So our flight got cancelled on Friday. We had already checked out. We had went back to see if would could get a room, mind you on our stay I had booked two rooms. Just needed one now. They were going to charge me 237.12 for another night. Not so bad, but you can't accommodate us for the inconvenience of getting stuck in the elevator. The manager Robin argued us down that the inspection sticker wasn't expired. We have a whole picture of it. All I wanted was a little compensation, but no. Overall the only person helpful was Domingo. He was the best. Don't stay here if you don't plan on getting stuck on the elevator and have to get your own self out. Good Luck!! read more

The Kent Hotel - Expired inspection sticker - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Location: literally in the heart of South Beach. Walking or 5min Uber ride to Beach, great restaurants, shopping at Lincoln Mall, clubs, or just walking up and down Ocean. Price: we stayed 4 days / 3 nights (Friday thru Monday) and after tax we paid around $500. Split two ways for our double queen bed room it was a steal. Service: the front desk crew and buss men were great! Chris was awesome!!!! He gave us tips on all the non-touristy nightclubs we could check out (which we did!). The cleaning ladies weren't very friendly and/or didn't speak English too well but if you're creative you will figure it out and get what you need. Room: we stayed in room 317. The entire 3rd floor is renovated and the first floor is not. So ask for the 3rd floor! The room was a decent size and the bathroom was a bit cramped. However, the shower itself was a nice size. The walls are a bit thin but guests on our floor (like us) we're out most of the time so no noise issues. The room had a sorta moldly smell to it (hence the decrease in a star). Nothing overbearing just a hint of something that we went nose blind to after 20mins of entering the room. Bed was ok, tv was a decent size, they have Direct TV so the programming froze every now and then but no biggie. Food: the Limetree restaurant is attached to the hotel and they do room service for The Kent. The food was actually pretty good and the service was fast (the food always came up hot). Like all things South Beach the gratuity was included but since they were pricey (again like all things South Beach) the Room Service was pretty high. Plenty of lower cost food options an Uber ride away. We would definitely stay at The Kent again. Hope this review helps! read more

My boyfriend and I subsequently ended up staying at The Kent Hotel, after an awful stay at their sister hotel, 'Colony Hotel', last February (see my review for Colony). We had such an unpleasant stay, they offered us to come back and stay with their friends and family discount. I loathed the Colony so much that I said I wouldn't go back, even with the discount. That's when they informed us about their sister hotel, The Kent. We, on whim, decided to book a three night stay, at the beginning of this month. We went in blind eyed, and crossed our fingers that it would look nothing like the Colony Hotel. When we arrived on Saturday, 2/8, we were very pleasantly surprised. Located on Collins at 11th, it's just a block from the beach. In my opinion, this is better than staying on Ocean and getting hassled by the hostesses outside all of the hotel restaurants, that try to shove a menu in your face every time you stroll by. We were greeted by a very friendly, and funny, man. He finished checking in the couple ahead of us and got us settled within minutes. Our room was AWESOME! It was on the second floor in the front left corner, overlooking the bar & patio restaurant below, and Collins Ave. The room was the perfect size. It wasn't cramped or tight, like the Colony. We had a huge, very comfortable, king size bed (I now need one this large at home). The windows stretched across the entire front of our room overlooking Collins, and then some continued on the side. The large closet when you walked in was perfect for getting your suitcases put away and everything hung up, without cluttering the rest of the room. The bathroom was very clean, and evidently newly remodeled. The tile, fixtures, and shower all looked brand new. I am very picky when staying at hotels and showering anywhere but my own house, but I felt very comfortable here, due to the cleanliness. For people who complain about noise, this wouldn't be a good location for you. The downstairs patio bar had music bumpin until like, 2AM. We didn't mind at all and it didn't bother us. We are in South Beach, for god sake. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, find another city! We actually went back to our room one day after the beach, and napped from about 7-11pm, before going out, and slept right through the noise. In the bathroom it was a little louder, but once again didn't bother us at all. It actually motivated me to get up from my nap and get ready to go out, ha. We had a wonderful and enjoyable stay at the Kent. All of the members of the staff that we encountered were friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again and/or recommend it to anyone traveling to South Beach. read more
