We are disabled travellers from the UK We were due to stay at this hotel We travelled over to Orlando and arrived only to be let down with our assistance which meant we couldn't take the trip to Miami - I contacted hotels.com immediately to let them know and tried to cancel the booking - we were giving 48 hours notice so couldn't see the problem I was told that I needed to have cancelled before midnight on the day before we arrived to avoid charges. We couldn't have cancelled then even if we'd known we couldn't go because we were travelling from England that day/night. I explained the extenuating circumstances and how it was impossible for us to get there without assistance due to our health issues and they agreed to contact the hotel They told me the hotel didn't care and they have since taken full payment for the room even though we gave plenty of notice I didn't stay here so can't say what the accomodation was like but I am disgusted by the management and their treatment of us as disabled travellers. Had we not given them any notice of cancellation I might be able to understand, but to blatantly disregard our needs and hold us to the letter is cruel and insensitive, hence the scathing review

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. Check-in was a bit unconventional as I arrived late and had to wait for the staff to open the door after providing my reservation details. While this process is understandable for security reasons, it was a bit inconvenient. The use of a traditional key instead of a key card was a bit old-fashioned but manageable. The room’s door only has a lock on the handle, which was a bit less secure than expected. Although there is an elevator, I didn’t need it since my room was on the first floor. However, be aware that there are a few steps leading up to the first floor. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a relief. Unfortunately, the sheets in the room were different from what was shown in the pictures and were not very comfortable, but they were still acceptable. I also encountered several issues: the phone and one of the two lamps in the room were nonfunctional, and neither the TV nor the Wi-Fi was working during my stay. On a positive note, the restroom was clean and everything there was in good working order. The room did have a table, fridge, ceiling fan, and microwave, which were useful. One downside was the noise outside the room around 9 a.m. since you can hear everything going on in the hallway, which disrupted the otherwise peaceful environment. Overall, the room was satisfactory for my needs as a place to rest, but improvements in amenities and maintenance could make the stay more pleasant.

Great location
It's all about location. Hotel offers great value for the location but it is dated. Bed was not comfortable and room was located close to the parking lot which made it a little noisy.

Staff were wonderful. Rooms were good, but could hear everything happening in the hallway. Parking was really nice! Adore the aesthetic of the hotel!! Food, convenience stores, and convention center all very close by on foot. Plan on staying again in the future :)

Overall it was a good place. Little old and not modern but what it lacks in amenities to makes up in charm. Clean room, bed, bath, and lobby. Not a cookie cutter style hotel. This hotel screams old school miami and thats why i pick it.

Not disabled friendly. Want to keep your car keys.
The hotel room itself was clean, AC worked great, but was loud, and the location is alright. The elevator is almost too small for my rollator walker to even fit in let alone turn, it takes several minutes for it to move between floors, it also requires you to open a regular door to then walk through the elevator doors to get in and has no push button for disabled patrons. The elevator will also get stuck on what ever floor its on if someone leaves the first door even slightly open. The entry doors do not have push buttons to open for disabled patrons. When you check in they have no signs or things on their bookings that show they "require you to leave your car keys with them at the desk so they can access your vehicle's any time to move them around as needed." They also make you sign a disclosure saying that they are not liable for damage to your car or property. After disagreeing about leaving our keys with them because insurance would be our problem if they backed into someone else they told us to remove our car from the property if we did not like those terms, and also kept insisiting it was listed in their parking terms. (As of right now it still is not listed). Im sure this hotel is great for able bodied patrons that don't mind leaving their car in the hands of other's, but for us it was a bad experience. Their idea of free breakfast is an open box of donuts or small muffins that anyone can sneeze and touch. We also paid $60 for parking in a garage instead of on sight.

Oldie but works
Hotel is very old and it shows, but room was huge, fab location and free parking. Water pressure was great in shower but a plug was missing in sink. Reception staff generally brusque and not particularly helpful. Really needed paper cups and kettle/coffee maker in room.

AWFUL DO NOT STAY HERE! Staff is extremely rude. Banged on my hotel toom door at 7am in the morning demanding that I move my car or give me my keys so he can move it. He was very rude about it! On top of that, the remote/tv did not work at all. I asked for a new remote or batteries and was stuck with the same remote, so no tv the entire time. Also, on our second day front door did not lock at all, so it was an unsafe room. The elevator is extremely slow and we never used it. The room was in dire need of updating and felt dirty. We hated this place.

A bit worn and torn but other hidden benefits
People who read my reviews know me for my harsh criticism but this place is a weird one for me to be hard on because of the hidden benefits. For instance: free parking, in Miami that is worth $35 a night, perfect location and a really friendly staff. The rooms and hotel is really worn and dated but it was a great place to lay your head. No cable TV or USB charging ports in the room but the internet is good enough to mirror your phone up to the TV. It is worth a stay if you are on a budget or just cheap like me.

Great little hotel very close to the Miami Convention Center with an easy 10 minute walk. Wonderful location close to famous shopping area, great dining and of course, the beach. Free on site parking if space is available during your stay (not guaranteed) but I have never had a problem. Staff and the Manager is super friendly and helpful. Great WIFI and air conditioning ! Light breakfast and coffee is available in the lobby. I always enjoy my stay at the James Hotel and highly recommend it.
