Normandy Shores, Miami hotel rooms at the Independent

"We only stayed one night before heading out on a cruise, and it was perfect for that. Super convenient with a free airport shuttle, which made things really easy. The price was very reasonable for the area, and everything went smoothly. Would definitely stay here again before our next cruise."

"Great stay, no issues "

"We stayed at the Tressor towers and our room was on the 28th floor. The one and only reason for a 1-star rating is the elevator situation. Only 2 elevators service all of the 36 floors (a 3rd elevator would operate adhoc and a 4th was out of service). The elevators stop at each and every floor on the way up and way down. They sometimes don't stop at your floor at all. Each time going up and down was a 15-20 min wait for the elevator and then a harrowing 10-15 min ride inside. The hotel actually had a staff to manage the elevator traffic. We wasted so much time with the elevators the first couple of days that we actually started hiking the 28 floors via stairs. And we were not the only ones who resorted to doing so. Terrible elevator management considering how much elevator technology has improved in the present times. Absolutely would not recommend staying in these towers."

"I dont care for many things but last 2days we saw cockroaches in kitchen area so we put evth inside fridge… "

"Property is beautiful. It’s in the middle of no where so you have to have a rental car. I didn’t love how everything you buy at the pool has a 20% gratuity, a few of the staff weren’t friendly. Totally kid-friendly, the pools are beautiful and the beach is steps away. Overall would come back again! "

"The room didn’t meet the expectation from the pictures. Very old and outdated "

"Love it"

"the room on the penthouse floor had a beautiful view , but there were two closets , one was locked the other had a large vent that took away all the space to hang clothes , there were no dressers in the room so my clothes were left in the suitcase . also the bed was dropped on the floor on a platform , anyone with back pain or disabled as I am cant even sleep there "

"My husband and I enjoyed our 4day stay. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating "
