"I was here for work and stayed for 2 nights. Pros and cons of my stay: Pros- The room's AC was on full blast when I got there, which was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. The free shuttle came on time and was convenient to get to the airport. Free drinks 7-8pm every night. Great downtown shopping on the same street. Cons- There was an 'issue' with another guest's room which I heard about AS I was checking in. There is no elevator. There is no room service. My bathroom had hair on the floor so I'm assuming it was not cleaned prior to me staying there. The room is NOT sound proof - I heard every party and conversation going on at all hours of the night from my 'neighbors.' No delivery service (food, dry cleaning, etc.). No pool, but they offer towels for the beach which is one block away. Overall, It was a pleasant stay since I only slept there. Probably would not stay there again on vacation, only if I was there for a limited time."

"I was very uninpressed with Hotel Shelly the room was very small and uncomfortable. It was hard for out luggage to fit in the room. After giving my bookit.com agent the names of all guest that would staying at Hotel Shelley we arrived to the hotel and I was told anytime you book through a third party you only get one queen size bed. I explained to them that this would not be possible because it was 3 ladies staying in this room. Also there is no ventlaltion in the bathroom."

"I stayed at the hotel after deciding to go down to South Beach Miami for the week. The staff were great and it was a party atmosphere - don't get dispondent when you walk in and the music is blaring as the bar is just near reception. Being a bit more 'mature' I was offered a room that was further away from the music so I was never disturbed by it all my stay. My room wasn't cleaned everyday but I don't know whether that is because I didn't tip (I usually wait until the end of my stay) or whether it is a cost saving but I didn't really mind as I was only in it to sleep. The room itself had everything - 2 queen beds, bar, cable, etc One bonus was the free rum, gin, vodka between 7pm and 8pm. I didn't have a meal here and not sure if they had them as I eat out or went on trips or to the beach."

"We stayed from April 18-23 2012. Great stay. Front desk staff were awesome. Very friendly and helpful with the spots to hang out, dance and drink. Only issue the shower didnt drain well so you had to limit the shower time so you didnt flood the bathroom otherwise it was great. Room was cleaned everyday,Awesome location, street away from the beach about 10 min drive from the arena where the Heat play and not far from the clubs. Comfy beds and the bartender was great but we did think 13.50 for a jack and coke was a bit much :-)."

"The only positive thing I have to say about this hotel is that the location is great. However, I had an awful stay in this hotel! The check-in time is 3 pm and while that is not abnormal they do not offer a place to secure your bags so that you can go to the beach, etc. while you wait for your room. You're definitely taking a leap of faith that no one will be messing with your things while you're away. They had the room ready for me and my roommate after 4pm and then they came and kicked us out of our room at 7pm after we had finished unpacking. The front desk said that it was due to a cock roach problem and that they needed to move us to a smaller room with one bed, instead of the 2 bed room that I had already paid in full for. They actually came to our room while my roommate was in her towel and gave us 5 minutes to pack up our stuff and move down the hall. Later that evening I realized that in the rush to get out of the room, so that someone could come to 'spray', that I had left my phone charger. I immediately went to the front desk and explained that although the room was being sprayed that I would need to get in to get my charger. It was then that I was informed that I would not be allowed to go in the room because there were 2 new girls that had been roomed there. They lied about the roaches, made double the money on the room, and had completely inconvenienced and lied to me after they already had my money. When I discussed this with the front desk and called their bluff they said that I just had to deal with it basically because that's what happens sometimes when you stay in Miami at a great location.... They moved us to 2 more rooms in our 2 night stay there. There is absolutely no way that I would ever stay here again or recommend it to anyone. The sad part was the I didn't even feel like I could completely put them in their place or stop payment on my card because I didn't trust them not to mess with my things while I was still staying there. I had an overall terrible feeling about this place and the shady people that worked for the hotel that I had to mess with! Just a side note, they seemed to be much more respectful to the men that stayed in their hotel."

"The room was entirely too small, i booked a double bed and was given a single queen. there is no private parking and charge 34 dollars a night for valet, and are not held liable for any damages made to your vehicle while its parked anywhere on the strip. there is no elevator, room service, or pool. the concierge desk was nice and tried to help with getting us a refund, however being Easter weekend and Gay Pride weekend, no manager on duty was available at the time. This hotel is really only for couples looking to pass through, and plan on only using this place to sleep, after partying."

"I really enjoyed the stay in this hotel. I went in August of 2012 with my mom and my 11 year old son. We liked a lot and plan to return soon. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpfull. In addition to the nice stay, we really liked that the hotel has a shuttle to the airport picks up us. I suggests everyone to go to this hotel, you will not regret."

"I would just like to say this was my second stay at the Hotel Shelly. Again I got the room at a great price and the service was awesome. This is a great place to stay; it's centrally located to all the great shops and all the great clubs. For those of you that are coming to Miami to party and that should be everyone, stay at the Hotel Shelly you can drink as much as you want and walk home. Party Like A Rock Star!!!!!"

"For the price we paid it was well worth the money, the location is perfect for shopping and partying at night. The staff were helpful in finding things to do and the open bar every night didn't hurt as well. The only complaint i have is the lighting in the rooms. It gets pretty dark to where you can't see too much at night. "
