Trip Advisor: 08.22.02
Although I have visited South Beach on several occasions previously, I recently visited (August 2002) and can proclaim, definitively, that I experienced the best accommodation thus far! I discovered the Sherbrooke Hotel, located on Collins Ave., in the heart of everything that is South Beach!!
If you have had any experience with accommodations in South Beach, one quickly realizes that almost all hotels proclaim that properties are "first class." It can become a trite, and often inaccurate, description of properties once your eyes actually view it firsthand. However, the Sherbrooke Hotel is definitely one of those understated properties. First of all, the ALL SUITES hotel rooms are HUGE, complete with a sitting area at the entrance, fully equipped kitchen(even a full-sized refrigerator and microwave no less).
The bedroom area is large as well, with a ceiling fan and a host of cable channels available on the television. Further, one of the greatest highlights, is the fact that the suite has a dedicated central air unit with a personal thermostat, so that you can adjust the exact temperature to your preference. This is quite a PLUS in the South Beach area to be in total control of your room's temperature, coupled with a unit that can EASILY achieve the temperature you desire -- even in the heat of summer!!
Other atypical conveniences of The Sherbrooke Hotel is the INDIVIDUAL and DIRECT phone line that is in the room -- no operators or switchboards necessary. Your suite has its own phone number just as you would have in your own home. And, finally, yet another great point, is the security of the hotel. The doors of the hotel stay LOCKED AT ALL TIMES and your key to the front door allows access to the hotel. Further, to allow for visitors to your room, an intercom at the front entrance allows the person to call your room using the directory and keypad.
The suite was very clean and neat and the individualized service uncompromising. Mitch, property manager of The Sherbrooke, is quite attentive to any needs or concerns and he is only a phone call away if assistance is warranted by the guest. I have nothing but the highest regards for Mitch and his operation of The Sherbrooke. Undoubtedly, my next itinerary to South Beach will include accommodations at The Sherbrooke and yours should as well!! My sincere "thanks" to Mitch for making it a great stay!!
