Shepley South Beach Hotel

This property exceeded all expectations: The room was very nicely appointed and quiet. The staff was more than helpful and accommodating. The Continental breakfast was very, very good and didn't not disappoint. Best of all it was a great location without any pesky "resort fees" that rarely provide anything of use. Will stay there again.

I recently stayed at the Shepley Hotel in Miami Beach. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel itself is charming. The room was clean, cozy. Its location is also fantastic—just steps away from the beach and close to all the best restaurants and shops. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. Every staff member I interacted with was kind, knowledgeable, and eager to help, making sure I had everything I needed during my stay. I highly recommend Shepley Hotel for anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and memorable experience in Miami Beach.

The exterior is comparatively unassuming - a white stucco building in the middle part of a block in South Beach, but the minute I walked in, I knew I was someplace wonderful - the lobby was cool, and smelled wonderful, and looked unique - this is not your average Holiday Inn looking place. The staff was so nice, and while I'm not quite sure how someone who was in a wheelchair would manage all the steps (there is a handicapped entrance, so there's a way - but there are steps off the street, and another set of maybe 5 steps from the lobby to the single hallway), it's beautifully appointed and peaceful. The room was glorious - we had the last room at the end of a hallway covered in photos; inside, the floor was smooth-sanded pale pine, and the room was huge - ample space for a king sized bed and a full living area with couch and chairs, plus a desk and a huge closet. The bathroom was likewise enormous, and had several fixtures which looked original, from the black and white checkerboard floor tile to the 2 vanity sinks. I loved the Shepley - we will be back. Food and entertainment and the beach are between 1 and 2 blocks away, which was perfect. The breakfast is mostly continental; we went to a restaurant, but the families munching down looked happy with it.

Cute boutique hotel & super friendly staff. The ambiance as soon as we walked in was inviting. Our room was perfect for the 3 days we stayed before our cruise & the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good for a quick bite with several choices to choose from. The beach was a block away & easy to walk to with many restaurants along the way or ocean front dining. We would definitely stay again, but possibly only for one night pre-cruise.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, loved the retro decor, the room was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. Towels and beach chairs were provided, and we could leave our luggage in reception after checking out of the room - enabling us to explore the local area before boarding our cruise.
