Hello! I loved my stay at The Daydrift. Great option for a quick trip to South Beach. Beach access is important to me, accessibility to restaurants and everything Collins Ave. has to offer. Convenient location, clean rooms, quiet lobby and hallways, great for my short and fun trip!

Great stay
Great stay. In the beginning was a little thrown of by them not having a front desk. But the number to call helped me with all my questions and how to check in. The location is perfect, modern hotel. Would stay again.

Great boutique hotel in the heart of South Miami Beach. Online check-in and check-out is great option, but I would love to have more human touch to this visit. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Amazing, clean pool. Very spacious and clean room. Hotel smelled amazing, and even though it’s under renovation it didn’t bother us during the stay. We always travel on budget and this was the best budget friendly stay in South Miami Beach. Highly recommended if you travel with kids.

We recently stayed at The Daydrift and had a great time! Even though we never saw any staff and weren’t quite sure when the coffee bar was open, the overall experience was still enjoyable. The location is super walkable to the beach, and our two-bedroom suite was perfect for four adults. We especially loved that our doors opened right onto the pool deck—such a nice touch for a relaxing stay.

The room was small, but comfortable! We were just a little bamboozled when we found that our window looked into another room with inoperable blinds so it was dark even during the day. Threw us off in the morning. There was also a lot of construction going on including painters in the hallway that we had to navigate around. Also construction on the street. But the staff was very nice and the check in / check out process is all digital and super easy!

TERRIBLE STAY
Stay was terrible. Under construction and didn’t let me know. Windows were unlocked the whole time while in the room. Begged for towels which they brought hours later. Small pool. Drainage sucked.
