Suites of Dorchester

This is an older property, but, the rooms are nice sized suites (1bedroom, living room, kitchen and dining room). The hotel is clean and kept up. The property is within walking distance of everything - the beach, Lincoln Mall, etc. The staff was exceptional nice. This is not a fancy property but we'd stay there again. We enjoyed it.

We loved Suites of Dorchester. Our King Suite was enormous and very comfortable. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Location is great - we walked everywhere and enjoyed the use of the community free shuttle, as well. The beach was just a block and a half and passes for chairs and an umbrella made beach visits simple. We would happily stay there again!

The Dorchester always delivers. Recommend the deluxe suites though. Main hotel sometimes noisier and cramped. But hey, it's South Beach!

So upon reading a plethora of reviews on several sites besides this one regarding the Suites of Dorchester, I will admit I was a little anxious. So I have read rave and not so rave - from the bathrooms being small, to things not working, to this hotel needing extreme upkeep, etc. So I stayed on the suite side and was able to get it at an awesome rate close to the rate of that of a room. I was thoroughly impressed with this suite. It was well decorated and if I had a group, it would have worked nicely. The property itself is a charm/traditional art deco. It's centrally located, within walking distance to the beach, not in the loudness of Sobe but close enough to enjoy. As you walk in the sitting area is inviting. You don't see many hotels with a social sitting area outside and inside. Some hotels don't have the luxury. The chain hotels downtown are nice but the lobby areas are congested of people walking in and out. It's more corporate, catering to mostly business patrons. In Sobe you get the entertainment and social aspect of the hotels. The courtyard also allows for less noise/privacy. So some points: Yes there is a $150 hold on a credit card to cover everything - incidentals, resort and parking fees. Once you check out you are only charged the daily resort fee and/or parking fee if you chose to park there. I had no issues with parking. Overall, I found the staff courteous, professional, and friendly. I would confidently stay here again.

Was nice for family stay if you have suite especially for little kids
