Budget

Please note: Children under 14 years old are not permitted on the property.

The long-awaited Standard Miami is here — and anyone who anticipated a carbon copy of the LA Standards will be in for a bit of a surprise. Still intact is the budget-chic philosophy — itself enough to raise an eyebrow or two in shamelessly glam Miami Beach — and unique to this particular Standard are a few novel solutions to the problem of shoehorning another big-deal hotel into the already packed South Beach scene.

First, the hotel is located off the main drag, on the quiet and mostly residential Belle Isle, along the Venetian Causeway just short of Miami Beach proper. A shuttle can deliver you to The Raleigh, very much in the thick of it, within minutes, but The Standard makes the most of its slight remove, such that it may furnish the kind of peace and tranquility that’s long since departed Collins Avenue. Well, relatively speaking, anyway — The Standard’s guests are not exactly wallflowers, and there’s always something going on in the bar; but compared to South Beach proper, this is practically transcendental meditation.

Second, and certainly related, is the spa, not at all a given in The Standard universe. Here not only are you comfortably sequestered from all the ballyhoo on the beachfront, but you’re surrounded by guests in Standard-issue white bathrobes, participating in the communal bathhouse culture of the place and indulging in mud wraps, steam baths, and the occasional swim in the chlorine-free Sound Pool, all to the tune of a live DJ.

Accommodations are smart and stylish — not oversized or particularly decadent, but very much more than adequate given that it’s possible to easily spend four times as much elsewhere in town. The décor is familiarly modern, in whites and blonde woods, and the look is familiar as well, blending mid-century Miami modernism with Scandinavian furniture from the same period — a look that is back in style all round the world, but resonates that much more strongly so close to South Beach.

Stylish, Low Key, Great Service & Accomodating staff. also, new patrol keeps the riff raff of the pool area and guest cell phones and noise to a minimum

I Disliked

Sanctuary

By smacdonald1371941 based in Vancouver

Stayed April 2009

Overall rating: Good

I Liked

After a frenetic destination wedding weekend at another hotel, we stayed at the Standard to decompress. The pool and spa were wonderful. The rooms are quaint but include some decent amenities (minibar, robes, ipod dock). The staff are accomodating and attentive, with drinks refilled timely at the pool. I will definitely return for a longer stay.

I Disliked

The rooms were a little too beach chic and a little bare but for the price - a minor flaw!

Great vacation.

By mmoles1283031 based in Canton

Stayed April 2009

Overall rating: Excellent

I Liked

This is my second stay at the hotel. everything about it is amazing. I love that it's far away from the strip and the relaxing atmosphere and yoga are the best. The pool is one of the best I've seen.

I Disliked

Front desk was difficult to get ahold of. Waiters at the pool were terrible. THey took forever and spent more time talking than checking on people's needs. (outside of one day when I had a female waitress who was incredible)

Definitely for young-at-heart adults

By jtroupe based in Sugarloaf Key

Stayed March 2009

Overall rating: Good

I Liked

One reason I chose this hotel was because children under 14 are not allowed! Had a youthful, beachy vibe, waterfall jacuzzi near pool, attractive gardens with interesting seating areas. Very helpful staff, carrot and green drinks available on breakfast menu, a large, hot marble relaxation area in spa (I did their exclusive Soul Temple treatment. Nice!). Our room was probably the smallest one there, but the bed was very comfortable. There were (sheer) privacy curtains surrounding everyone's patio area which helps to give you a little more space. Each patio had a sort of adirondack chair as well as an outdoor tub! I had also booked through Tablet, and was quoted $199 for the room. When I arrived I was told it would be $223, but I was able to get it reduced since I showed them my email confirmation.

I Disliked

You were essentially obligated to park with the valet service (or I was not aware of any parking lot or garage.) There was a parking lot out front, which is where I parked initially to check in, but I was told that this lot is not theirs and I could be towed at any time. (the lot was full when I got there and I did see others using it for check in as well). They said there isn't even a 15 min. grace period or anything, so they made it clear I was taking a chance by parking there at all. There is a 20 min. wait to get your car whenever you need it. Also, I may have misread the hotel info, but I thought there was a shuttle to South Beach. However, the shuttle only runs on the weekends, and only until something like 5pm on Sunday. Of course I arrived on a Sunday, and since check-in isn't until 4pm, the whole shuttle thing wasn't available. $8.00 latte was a surprise.

What is the Tablet Hotels Meter?

The Tablet Hotels Meter is a running average of the ratings given to a hotel by registered Tablet Hotels users who have actually stayed at the hotel. The scores are based on responses to our feedback survey, which is sent automatically to every user after the completion of a hotel stay booked through Tablet Hotels. We receive responses every day, the scores change accordingly - in real-time.

Tablet Hotels hotel ranking meter

This way we can be absolutely certain of the integrity of the rating process - on some travel websites, there is nothing preventing the General Manager from giving his own hotel a perfect score, or the concierge from across the street, posing as a dissatisfied guest, giving his competitor all zeros. You have probably seen questionable user reviews on other websites, whether flowery advertising copy written by fake guests, or vague negative attacks written anonymously. You will not see any of this on Tablet Hotels.

How does a hotel remain a Tablet Hotel?

We have selected nothing but the most unique and extraordinary properties from around the world, but circumstances at individual hotels can change quickly. Therefore it is up to our customers to inform us if one of our properties has taken a turn for the worse. The Tablet Hotels Meter works on a 20-point scale, and for a hotel to keep its place on Tablet Hotels, the magic number is 15.

This is not just an arbitrary figure; we have two years' worth of data, from past user feedback, and we have found that the hotels whose scores drop below 15 are those experiencing recurring problems, and guest detailed reports reflect the same serious concern, whether it be service, room quality, noise or something else.

The Tablet Hotels Meter will not display a score until we have had at least two customers rate the hotel. This way one person's unfortunate stay cannot carry too much weight. And once five guests have returned their verdicts, the rating becomes a more scientific measure of the opinion of the average guest. At this point, if the hotel's average overall score drops below 15, the hotel will be automatically removed from the site.

Your opinion really does count; in this case, it is the only thing keeping the hotels you visit on the site. On a more positive note, the hotels with top scores are featured in our "Tablet 10" lists. And as a side benefit, this system will encourage hotels to extend their best level of service to Tablet Hotels users - we turn every Tablet Hotels client into a reviewer!

Hotel Review and Travel Recommendation Guidelines

This is a moderated forum; all hotel reviews and travel recommendations must follow the Tablet Hotels and Tablet Talk guidelines below. We will not publish a hotel review or a travel recommendation unless it is:

Original

Please don't quote from other sources or otherwise reprint material published elsewhere, including your own comments on other travel review sites.

Relevant to other travelers

This is not a forum for general political, ethical or religious opinions. Nor is it a place for questions or comments directed to property representatives, Tablet Inc. staff, or other Tablet Talk members - we encourage you to use private channels for such communications. It should go without saying that we don't want to see personal insults or language that a reasonable observer might deem offensive. And please keep your submissions current - no need to mention a trip that happened more than two years ago.

A personal opinion or recommendation

Hotel reviews are restricted to verified guests who booked their stays through TabletHotels.com. Likewise, travel recommendations must be based on first-hand experience. No recommendations or reviews written by owners or managers posing as guests, or by current or past employees, or second-hand hearsay from others. If your friend/cousin/neighbor has something to contribute then you should invite them to join the community so that they may share their opinions themselves.

We do not allow recommendations to be written based on incentives from property owners/management. Offering discounts or upgrades or other special treatment in exchange for reviews is very much against the rules, and any property found to be engaging in this sort of thing will be dealt with most unforgivingly.

Non-commercial

Comment spam is a serious problem, and we will reject even the most borderline cases. No commercial web address, e-mail addresses or contact information. No promotional material of any kind. We reserve the right to reject any URL for any reason.

Written with standard e-mail etiquette

This is a forum with a broad readership; don't assume that hotel owners in Milan and travel agents in Guangzhou are familiar with the latest slang and shorthand, or that typographic symbols will be rendered properly across all platforms. Please don't shout in ALL CAPS - in general, keep it readable. And for various boring technical reasons, HTML tags and most forms of text and paragraph formatting, even simple lists, will not survive the posting process.

In addition

It's our party

Tablet Inc. reserves the right to remove any hotel review or travel recommendation at its sole discretion, for violation of the above guidelines or for any other reasons.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.

The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
