Scene

A mostly updated hotel with a homey feel

Ocean Reef Suites is a mid-range property suitable for tourists and business travelers alike. It has a white Art Deco exterior with green
accents and the main entryway is flanked with potted plants and metal patio furniture topped with white parasols. Cream tile, white tufted
chairs, and gray tile walls decorate the bright, contemporary lobby, while a light wood ceiling and accent wall and a large chandelier are nice accents. Hallways include green carpet and colorful abstract artwork on
the walls. Friends Market -- the 24/7 on-site convenience store -- has exposed duct work, gray tile, and a red accent wall.

Location

In the Art Deco District, within walking distance of the beach and lots of shops

Ocean Reef Suites is located in the Art Deco
District of South Beach, in an area with lots of restaurants, bars, and shops and just a few blocks from the beach. Flamingo Park, The Wolfsonian, the Art Deco Museum, and Miami
Beach Cinematheque are also an easy walk away while the Miami Beach Convention Center is
a three-minute drive away. Lincoln Road is a five-minute drive while the Port
of Miami is 10 minutes from the hotel. Miami International Airport is an
18-minute drive.

Rooms

Basic rooms and suites with kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and beach towels

There are two room types available at Ocean Reef: Queen Studios and Queen Suites with Sofa Beds. Decor is simple but pleasant, with brown-and-green patterned pillows and drapes matched to brown striped carpets.
Dark-wood furniture stands out against white walls with wall-mounted 32-inch
flat-screen TVs. Amenities include irons/ironing boards and beach towels are provided for guest use. All units have kitchenette areas with reddish tile, small black countertops, and
light-wood cabinets that show wear and tear. They also have microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and portable stoves. Bathrooms are plain and have pedestal sinks, white walls, and walk-in showers with
white tile. Ocean toiletries are provided. Although simple, the rooms are pleasant overall, but some guests have complained of musty smells in the rooms and loud street noise.
