In August 2008, we hosted our families at the National for our wedding. This was not our first stay here-in fact, we have stayed here each of the past four years. We chose the National based on prior experiences of the property and especially the staff. Since I am from New England and my wife from Toronto, we chose a... more

I was a little skeptical about staying at this hotel after reading some of the reviews here. But I decided to give it a try. Let me start by saying that if you are looking for top notch rooms, you won't find them here. But we weren't in our room very much...The lobby, restaurant, and pool area were very, very... more

This is the 2nd time I've stayed at the National. Both times were in September of 2006 and 2008. Both times I happened upon South beach when there were no hurricanes looming off the coast so the weather was nice. I give the front of the house staff, door men, and concierge 3 stars. The pool and beach service I... more

My wife and I met at the National four years ago, so I decided to surprise her and we went back for our first anniversary over Labor Day weekend. We had a rocky start at the restaurant when a bad buffet and a good omelet was eighty dollars. Miami is expensive, but don't take advantage of me. Cheap and bad... more

A comfortable, clean hotel with efficient, attentive staff. Great pool are leading directly out onto Miami's South Beach. We would stay here again. more

Fortunately, I found a really cheap deal as it was low season. My review would have been different if I had paid the full price. Because the room I got... more

My husband and I stayed at The National in September 2008. We arrived in between Hurricanes Hanna and Ike. We had a BLAST!! I read the other reviews regarding The National before I booked this hotel and some of the reviews are unfair. First of all, EVERYTHING in South Beach is expensive. It's not just this hotel. If you go... more

This is THE worse experience I've ever had. To begin, it was supposed to be a non-smoking room however there was a lingering smell of smoke. The shower didn't work and when we called to report the problem, it took the guy over 40 minutes to get to our room. Next the bed... the sheets had a blood-like stain and... more
