LESLIE HOTEL

Perfect location in front of the beach and promenade. Lovey pool and jacuzzi on roof. Great restaurant, service and pleasant rooms. Enjoy the Leslie.

We truly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Leslie Hotel. The staff is so friendly, and the location is perfect for enjoying the fantastic Miami Beach nightlife. The room did lack storage, but everything else was perfect. The rooftop pool is a perfect place to relax, and the provide beach chairs for lounging in the sand. I would definitely return when visiting Miami Beach.

I know many people like this hotel, but for me, it was not the right hotel. We got a king ocean suite, room 212. It’s facing the ocean Dr. And there is a restaurant right down on the first floor and two other restaurants right next to the hotel. That made so much noise and it was too loud. I had to have an AirPod to listen to music to sleep bc of the noise. And, it lacks some basic amenities such as a cup or glass in the room. On the website the room is for four people. I thought the couch in the room was a pull-out bed, but it was just a couch. Luckily our son was 11 and we were able to put bed sheets on the sofa. If we had another child with us, this room would not have worked for us. False info. We paid $1600 for 4 nights in January. I wouldn’t choose this hotel if I knew everything about this hotel. There is no coffee machine. It makes only espresso. But I was able to make coffee by adding hot water. The layout is strange, as others said; there is no door to the bathroom. It makes so much steam when you take shower (even for quick shower - less than 10 min) and takes al least 3-4 hours to clear the steam and humidity from the room.
Positive things are the friendly staff, the breakfast included in the price. You get free breakfast from the restaurant right in front of the hotel. Swimming pool on the roof.

CONS (In order of importance):
- No bottled water or drinking glasses to be found - this is a basic hotel necessity for travelers and made our stay much less convenient/enjoyable
- Extremely noisy (we stayed in room 211 right by the staircase and elevator which may have made it worse but it was unbearable at times)
- Constant barrage of air freshener throughout the entire building which felt nauseating at times
- No full length mirror in the room
- Very dim lighting which made it hard to see when getting ready
- While eating at the onsite restaurant (La Trattoria), we noticed the wait staff giving complimentary drinks to other tables and never once offered them to us which felt odd (maybe this is an attempt to keep people seated longer so passersby think the restaurant is busier than it is? Either way, you should offer complimentary drinks to everyone if you're going to offer them at all—especially after the hundreds and hundreds we spent at the establishment while staying there)

PROS:
- Service - everyone we encountered was kind, courteous, and helpful
- Location - right on the strip (so long as you don't mind the noise)
- Miami was very cloudy and windy during our stay so the heated rooftop pool and hot tub were fantastic (Pool attendants were great as well)
- Cleanliness
- 20% off La Trattoria food (onsite restaurant) while staying at the hotel was a nice touch

All in all, The Leslie is considered by Google a four-star hotel but it felt every bit like a three-star hotel. A bit overpriced in that regard. Would stay elsewhere if we could do it again, but for what it was, it was good enough. The staff being 100% kind and helpful really helped offset our complaints about the hotel itself.

????Grandes chambres tres confortables, vaste d.de bain.b et tres belle vue. Literie haut de gamme Piscine sur le toit agréable en fin de journée. Pas de service en chambre ni de breakfast. Le personnel est charmant et très pro. L'hotel est situé sur la ''bonne portion'' d'océan drive, animé mais pas trop. Tres bon rapport qualité-prix. Je recommande !
