This is no where near a 2 star hotel. This looks like an old beat up apartment that the owner decided to turn into the a hotel. The room had an awful smell, no phone and no cable. The bathtub was rusted and yellow water came out of the faucet. There was no front desk. It was a bedroom that... more

Great location in Miami Beach - old hotel - not the most friendly front desk or flexibility - but given the rate and location great value . It is not a Star rated hotel but a B&B / Guest House type hotel. Also note it is an adult hotel and is not advisable for older couples / children . Was... more

We stayed at Island House during spring break 2008 for 4 nights. We had the room billed as a “King Studio”. This hotel is not a new hotel, so if you are expecting brand new, go somewhere else. Our room was large with a king bed, a queen bed, and a small kitchen with a 2-seater dining table. The bathroom... more

This hotel is old and run down, stained carpets, window blinds would not open. I figured I would stay one night (of a four night reservation), then move down the street (there are many choices, all at the same rate as this dump). I plugged in my laptop, attempted to turn on my AOL (which I need for my job),... more

We stayed in April 07 for 3 nights at the Island House Guest House. Location was great on Collins, close to the beach and Lincoln Rd (no need for a car you can walk). Manager was friendly and helpfull. Room was ok with a little fridge. Beds were good and clean, like the daily fresh towels but the bathroom definately... more

Nice clean hotel with very friendly help. I parked my car nearby in a safe garage for the week. Everything I liked was in walking distance, beach, clubs, restaurants and shopping! Loved this little place where I did not feel overwhelmed by people asking for tips every minute! Thanks Brian Rubin more

Dingy and rundown. Sheets and towels were old but seemed reasonably clean. Furniture and carpets are stained. Bed was horrible. Free happy hour never happened. Breakfast was OK. Hotel is not what it is advertised to be. If you want a great location and a cheap(-er) price, this place will work if you have thick skin and aren't expecting much. more
