The Daydrift in Miami Beach

A hotel without staff is an interesting concept. Not without value, but it felt like something was missing.
Location is wonderful: walking distance to convention center, restaurants, other hotels, pharmacy/convenience stores.
The $30 resort fee however is unjustified. It includes a fabric tote bag and 2 bottles of water. I’d call that excessive. The roof-top pool is jacuzzi size (still not sure if it’s a pool, per se).
On-site restaurant is only open Thursday-Monday. Food is amazing and staff friendly, but the prices… ouch!
Rooms are tight but comfy. Bed is low (which I loved), mattress and pillows - very comfortable. Towels are soft, feel like new.
I was not impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom - there was hair (short strands) all over.
Room doors are very loud when closing - you can hear everyone down the hallway getting in and out of their rooms.
Thermostat was not adjustable- it got a little cold in my room and I was not able to adjust the temperature.
Lobby is unattended if the restaurant is not open. Tried to have a video call from there during the day on a Tuesday and the music was too loud. There was one person there but did not know how to turn it lower.
Overall, it’s an ok place for a quick in-and-out place if that area matters to you. Otherwise, it could use some TLC.

I enjoyed the location, my stay was comfortable, the room was beautiful and spacious. Great stay overall. Would definitely recommend and I’d come back.

We requested a room change and received a quick response. We were moved within a couple of hours and were pleased with their friendly, efficient communication.
Beach service was great.

Room was clean and had everything we needed. It did stay quite loud till well after midnight. Not sure if it was from a room or the bar. I slept through most of it. Would stay here again but maybe get a room not on the first floor, further away from the bar area just in case for noise reasons.

The Daydrift was such a vibe! Beautiful common areas with thought put into aesthetics. Room was clean and had complimentary water and coffee. The staff was very helpful and friendly!

I stayed here with a friend in January 2024. It was a great location close to everything beach, restaurants but also quiet. The back patio was a little gem to sit out at night, rooms were clean. Andre’s the night manager was so hospitable, and knowledgeable. He was always there to greet us with a warm smile and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing. It’s been awhile since experiencing that degree of excellence in customer service. I will definitely be back!
