My wife and I were given a very nice welcome although we arrived 3 hours later than expected thanks to Miami immigration and well after the close of reception.We were only booked in for one night, our first in the US.The bed was very comfortable with good quality linen and the room well equipped.But our room did need some TLC to bring it up to date. As others have stated, breakfast is non-existent and the other down side is that there is only parking for 2 cars.There is plenty of on-street parking but we usually prefer to park hired cars off-street.

Friendly folks and clean rooms. Some drawbacks though, as of course it's a long way to South Beach (but no worries: car or bus will do). But also the breakfast is just not worth it. And somehow we could not adjust airconditioning (too warm inside, sometimes the whole thing seemed to be shut off). Thank God we were there in February, so the heat was not too oppressive. But all in all it's a very affordable and decent stay with free parking. And a good nearby beer garden!

After 2 glamorous but pricey, skanky-partier-dodging nights at an art deco hotel in SoBe, I went for an affordable, low-key third night here. No, it's not fancy; yes, it's out of the way; no, there isn't much to do in the immediate area -- it's a leafy North Shore suburb with an eccentric commercial strip heavy on kosher bakeries and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. But there's a beautiful, deserted beach a block away; I had a tidy, pleasant room with a comfy king bed and the odd but thoughtful perk of a fridge and microwave in the semi-walk in closet; the proprietor was very nice; parking's fine -- some complained elsewhere about it, but I found a free space pretty easily in midday, a free-til-8-am space easily late at night, and worst case scenario, the meters let you load up to 10 hours, which they sure as heck don't do in SoBe. Hey, when the wireless service, hot water and no-frills continental breakfast are better than or on par with the Essex without being in the middle of SoBe, what's not to like? It's on the corner of busy Harding Ave and I did find that a bit noisy once the morning traffic started, even with a garden-alley-facing room. But minor gripes overall. Recommended.

Stayed for 2 nights, clean rooms, very inexpensive, the lady that owns this place is very nice and helpful. found that it was located close to things we wanted to see and do, found the bus service to be great and easy to get around from this location. I would definatly stay here again and call them direct to book.

I was looking for a small friendly B&B away from the bustle of South Beach. I found it at the Baltic. Owner Christine is caring and knowledgeable as is is her helper Elizabeth.The bed was really comfortable and beautifully dressed and spotless. Ceiling fans in all rooms. Hair dryer, microwave, good shower. Breakfast just basic but there are lots of restaurants close by. Great location! A few minutes walk from the beach, bike rental, bus route. We rented bikes from the Municipal bike stand (found all over the city) and cycled to South Beach which was easy and fun!Only downside was general housekeeping which was not great. A shame because other than that it was great! Definitely recommend.
