Very Good Experience

My stay at the Bluemoon Hotel can be summed up into one statement; "Fab-u-lous". Seriously Iive in North Miami and was invited by a friend to stay on the beach at the Bluemoon Hotel. I didn't go with any expectations as I was only an invited guest. When I walked into the lobby I was greeted by a young man (Sean) with his own personal greeting, "welcome young man." As human beings we take many things for granted, such as basic salutations.
The entire staff was very friendly, attentive and was responsive to my every need and questions. I refer to them as my personal GPS. If I needed to go someone, they could tell me or direct me with the use of printed local maps taht can be found at the front desk. My time at the Bluemoon was a relaxing one and I will book this hotel in future.
great stayyyy

Hotel is walking distance from everything is sobe, don't rent a car parking is expensive and you have to valet everywhere. Bar was very nice and they give you a drink credit to use, try the mojitos. Breakfast was a nice start to the day, they have a nice outdoor patio to sit at, while you watch the world go by.
Great Hotel

My husband and I booked this hotel with our flight through online travel website. I read the reviews prior to going and they were mostly good. We arrived and love it. The staff was great and helpful, the rooms were clean and cozy and the hotel is only a block over from the beach...right in the middle of the action. We would definitely stay at this hotel again, actually we had such a good time we decided to go back every summer and stay at the Blue Moon.

We booked our hotel online for our honeymoon. I called the hotel twice and never once was informed of the daily $* amenity charge. This is NOT optional whether you use the service or not. I think this should be included in the price of the room instead of informing you at check-in. The room was okay. When I called the second time I told them it was our honeymoon and I was assured "You will not be disappointed. We will make arrangements for you." They did upgrade me free of charge to a superior king room instead of a superior queen. However the room was on the corner of two alley ways and was EXTREMELY NOISY around 2 am - 4 am. The room was kept clean. The service was okay. The man at the counter when we checked in was nice, addressed us by name, and said "Congratulations on your new marriage." The lady that was at the desk the next few days was rude and didn't seem to care or have time to answer questions. We were unfamiliar with the city and asked for the best way to get to our destination (cab, bus, etc.). The lady just looked at us and said "You need to call where ever you're going and ask them." She then walked to back of desk and used cell phone. The conceige, XXX, was wonderful. He came over, apologized, and offered to help. He found pamphlets, called the location asking about operating times, location, best way to get there, and instructed us very detailed on how to use the public transportation. He was at the door on our return to ask us how it went and if we found it okay. Another plus - one block from the beach and shopping.
Great location - friendly staff

This hotel is only a block from Ocean Drive where you will find great, varied restaurants and bars. We easily walked to wherever we wanted to go. The staff was great and very friendly. The rooms were small and our room only had a queen bed but we were able to spend time on the beach one day and had some great meals nearby. This was our first trip to South Beach and we really enjoyed ourselves. This was a pre cruise hotel stay and I wanted to stay at one of the nice, restored Art Deco style hotels in the area. I was very pleased overall with the Blue Moon. The reservation person several months earlier was pleasant and helpful and the front desk staff and bellman were down to earth and friendly. We were always greeted when walking through the lobby - when leaving the hotel and when coming back. That is part of the charm of a small hotel. We did not use the elevator. It worked but let's just say we were more comfortable using the stairs each time. We had no trouble getting a shuttle to take us to Fort Lauderdale on a Saturday morning to get on our Princess cruise ship. We did not use the small pool at the Blue Moon but it was available and the area looked clean. We will definitely consider staying at the Blue Moon on our next trip to Miami. We really enjoyed staying in South Beach even though we were not cruising out of the Miami cruise terminal but going to Fort Lauderdale which is about 25 miles away. We have recommended this hotel to some of our friends. Enjoy!
