Norman's Hotel and Dining

Can You Handle The Truth.....??? My wife and I did not stay long but it had nothing to do with the hotel itself...we had to catch a very early flight. Overall, we enjoyed our quick stay here. The young lady who checked us in was extremely helpful and very friendly. She went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay. The room was nice, though well aged, which was not objectionable. The restaurant below was also excellent with a fantastic waitress and great food. Norman's is a perfect "out of the way" right in the middle of Miami Beach.

It was nasty. I had to clean the table that had a pile of dust. The chairs I wouldn’t even touch. No real cleaning is happening there at all.

Very convenient location! Great beds

Do not stay at this place at any cost! Horrible place, extremely dirty and there is 0 service provided. When we checked in, the room was already super dirty, all floors had dust, the bathroom was so disgusting that it was impossible to step into the shower barefoot. During three days of our stay here there was no cleaning of the room, no change of towels, no staff at the desk at any time. There is restaurant downstairs as part of this 'hotel' but no members to assist you even when you point out that there is no lobby. If you think of wifi or clean/functioning coffee machine as basics, forget about it all - nothing works. Avoid at all times!

This place served its purpose. It was very affordable for the area, however I’m the type of person where I understand that you get what you pay for. I read many reviews, & many of the main complaints are that it’s outdated & noisy, which were both true. Thankfully, to my advantage, I wasn’t prioritizing “newness” when I was looking for a place to stay (especially because prices are typically high everywhere around March, which is when I went), & I am a hard sleeper, so I didn’t hear a thing even though it does get very loud at night with the bar that’s right beside the place. My priorities were low pricing, cleanliness, & safety, which I felt pretty good with once I got there & inspected the place. Sonia was there & checked me in & was very nice - very little English, but thankfully I can speak basic Spanish & we were able to figure the basics out. Overall, an “average” stay, but that was good enough for me. I’d say know what you’re willing to tolerate & understand the risk. If you want cheaper & can tolerate a few nuisances (older space, no room service, noisy at night, etc), then this is a steal. If not, then this isn’t the space for you. Also, I liked the fact that there was a microwave & a fridge in the room. Good enough for my 3-night stay!
