The hotel

Art deco style and relaxed beach vibes is what the Gale South Beach is all about. On one side you've got Collins Avenue, a bustling hubbub of city lights, sights and sounds. On the other is the beach, with the relaxed promenade and white sands leading to the Atlantic Ocean. And at the Gale, you've got an infinity-edge pool to plunge into, a delicious Italian restaurant to eat at, and rooms decorated with the beach and ocean as their inspiration. However you decide to spend your holiday, make it a memorable one at the Gale.

It’s true about the pillows… very fluffy! But seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Dales, and most competent staff such as Cornelius really went out of their way to make my stay most pleasurable. The complimentary champagne at the front desk is a very nice touch.

Being a Hilton Gold and Diamond member in the past, we have stayed in many Hilton properties throughout the world. We had booked this room for 4 nights but had to check out after two nights to move to a different hotel as it was so bad. While the staff here were lovely, this was one of the worst Hilton properties we have ever stayed at. The lobby looks nice (but the air conditioning was not working). We had booked a King Terrace room. Upon entering the room, there was a terrible damp mildewed smell. The room was extremely small with a desk and chair - but when we checked out the terrace, we saw that the lock was broken on the door and there was no way to secure the room. The front desk moved us to a room 2 doors down. This room did not smell and the door locked, but it did not have a desk and was even smaller the the first room. There was no chair in the room leaving no place to sit. We again had to call down to the fro t desk as in this room, the single small sinks drain stopper was in the stuck position and would fill with water that would not drain. They said they would send maintenance and we left the room. Upon our return, they did get the water to drain but the stopper was now stuck in the up position not allowing us to use the sink properly. Once again they sent maintenance to fix it correctly. Later that day we learned that if you flushed the toilet in the room, the water (and whatever else was in the toilet) would erupt out of the toilet like a volcano. Truly disgusting. They attempted to fix this during our stay to no avail. Photos attached. Next. The curtains to the patio would not close and maintenance had to come again to close them. Later the next day we learned that the curtains would now not open They would stick after just a bit of movement. To cap off this terrible stay, the room was booked with a $50 food and beverage credit each day. On our first night there we went to the bar/restaurant at 10:15 pm to use the credit for a drink and snack. There were a few people there eating yet the manager told us it was closed and they we could not order from them or order to the room. We checked the open hours on the website and on the printed information sheet the hotel provided and the restaurant and rooms service was supposed to be open until 11:00 pm. When we brought this to the attention of the front desk - they said sorry- the restaurant could do whatever they want to do. We were not able to use our credit that day. Normally we would have checked out after the first night but we had to stay at the hotel a second night due to the location of an event that we needed to be at. We were able to leave after two miserable nights and checked I to a much better hotel for less money for the balance of our stay. As a side note the hotel wanted to offer us 30,000 points for our troubles- which we did not want as it nowhere equalled the problems we had and frankly with almost a million points banked, the last thing we needed. Do yourself a a favor, and do not stay at this property - you will not be happy. Read less

Wonderful location and warm staff at this gem on South Beach. Rhamana at the front desk and Mariano were incredibly warm and welcoming upon arrival and oriented us very well to the property. We had a fourth floor room with a balcony facing the side street with good views. We enjoyed drinks at the bar and solid breakfasts with professional and personable waitstaff. There were some issues with our room though staff was quickly responsive in addressing our concerns. The property in general was comfortable and appealing though could use some upgrades here and there. Given it was August it was tough to enjoy the pool areas though they had nice views and seating. There were no staff around given it was slow season and am sure it is much more lively in the on season. Beach access was a nice perk across the street and easy to navigate with the instructions provided. Overall a great summer stay in Miami. Read less

This is a great boutique hotel in the middle of South Beach. Conveniently located close to the Convention Center and still with access to the beach via a partner hotel across the street. Desk is through the Solce Restaurant. It’s definitely not clear how to get in. But that’s no big deal once you know.
