"This hotel presents a serious catch-22: It's got a front-row view of all of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and the Atlantic Ocean, but it is also located in downtown Miami."

"This huge 641-room downtown tower has been regularly renovated -- the lobby was redone in 2008, and guestrooms were refreshed in 2012."

"This is the queen of the second tier, a colorful and superbly located hotel that has been checking off all the important boxes since it opened in the early 1980s."

Avoid the older units if at all possible.

"Situated on the quieter northern end of South Beach's raucous Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is, in many ways, a fish out of water—picture a Southern belle surrounded by Art Deco divas."

"Fashionable, understated and wholly in charge of this end of Ocean Drive, The Betsy curtsies elegantly alongside its peers The Tides and Victor."
