We were thrilled with our stay at Uma House! I travel a lot and am extremely picky about where I stay because I want to be comfortable (clean room, comfortable bed, good amenities), and I want to feel safe. I almost passed Uma house up because the rates were so much lower than other comparable places - I thought there might be something wrong with it. I hit the jackpot with this place. Fantastic location, very safe and clean (no unpleasant odors in the room - I can’t stand musty rooms or ones that stink of cleaning products), bright sunny room, the employees were friendly and helpful, and we LOVED the amenities. Beautiful rooftops on each building, a great pool lounge area, great views, discounts at the restaurant in the sunrise building, free beach chairs at Boucher brothers, and they stored our bags for us after we checked out.
In a few of the reviews I read before booking, people complained about not being able to open windows. The room is very well ventilated and it is hot and humid as heck outside, so I don’t know why anyone would want to open their window anyway. A note for the hotel - it would be great if there were more hooks for hanging beach towels and regular towels.
I put one of my employees up in a room at the hotel as well and she thought it was fantastic. We both plan to stay at Uma again if we find ourselves in Miami Beach.
