James Hotel

LOVED THIS AUTHENTIC MIAMI HOTEL!! would def come back just for the ambiance

Benny is very friendly and the manager in the morning! Thank you!!! And free parking! Thank you!

Only problem I had woman told me I could checkin early come back in an hour 130pm. Drive 20 mins To come back at 130 and it wasn’t ready. So I went out in Miami. Didn’t come home until 10am and barely even had a couple hours to stay here. Besides the hotel was cool.

Very dated eclectic hotel, more like a motel without parking spaces. Doors are still old school key operated, walls are thin, beds are ok. My room stunk of cigarettes even though it was a no smoking room. Gets the job done if you need a cheap room to crash in

I hate to rate this place very low, but I am going to have to. Check in was fine and the front person was very nice. I did not check the room but just went in to leave my things to go to buy a few essential items from the local store. Upon returning I check the beds. I found hair on the pillow and the bedsheets which indicated to me they were not changed. As this hotel is quirky and small (and relative cheap for the area, I did not expected anything than a place to sleep) and in a very expensive area, I did not expect anything grandiose but do expect the sheets to be clean. I went to the front desk (with a new person) who told me that the sheets were not changed because I had put on the "do not disturb" sign (well not possible since I just checked in). Then he tells me he cannot understand my English (mind you I am a native English speaker). After a few more sentences, he told me someone would come and change my sheets. Waited more than an hour, no show. Went to the front desk and he told me that everyone has left and that if I wanted clean sheets, I should change them myself!!! I have never been in a hotel where they tell you to change the bedsheets in such a crass manner. The owners were there at check out and they are very apologetic but whoever their front desk person was, he was beyond help!
