Beautiful old hotel but needs updating

We stayed only for 1 night. We drove over from Naples with the family for a summer vacation kick-off. If we had booked for longer, we would have changed hotels. This hotel is old which we have no problem with. It's a beautiful old building. But, the carpet was smelly and dirty. The bed mattresses were saggy. There is no vanity in the bathroom to put your things. We a late lunch in the restaurant. The service was excellent. The food was good quality. They should have warned us about the construction on the building next door right next to the pool. We could not sit outside to eat or swim, it was so loud. My daughters were covering their ears. And, it's just not a relaxing experience.

Checked in and was told I had to pay all these extra fees. The hotel itself is definitely not a 4 star. It’s outdated and the shower wouldn’t even drain. Would not recommend staying here.

Exceptional Stay at Sea View Hotel – Bal Harbour My recent stay at the Sea View Hotel in Bal Harbour was truly delightful. The hotel’s prime beachfront location offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, and its classic European-style charm adds a unique touch to the experience. The rooms are impressively spacious and well-appointed, featuring comfortable beds, ample walk-in closets, and modern amenities. I particularly enjoyed the private balcony, which provided a serene spot to relax and take in the ocean breeze. The staff at Sea View Hotel were exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone contributed to making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel’s amenities are top-notch. The Olympic-sized heated pool and the well-maintained private beach area were perfect for unwinding. I also appreciated the on-site dining options; the Terrace Restaurant offered delicious meals with a beautiful ocean view, and the Sea View Coffee Shop was great for a quick bite. Additionally, the hotel’s proximity to Bal Harbour Shops made it convenient for shopping and dining. The surrounding area is peaceful and upscale, providing a relaxing atmosphere throughout my stay. Overall, Sea View Hotel exceeded my expectations. Its combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and prime location makes it a standout choice in Bal Harbour. I look forward to returning on my next visit.

Way too many blinking led lights to sleep.

There was a Wi-Fi hotspot in our room in the sleeping area. It lit up the room like a night light, but since it also blinked rapidly, it was impossible to sleep. I had to stand on a chair to cover it with a shirt. Also, you have to access the pool through a narrow basement tunnel and you can't use your room key to open the door...you have to push a button and wait for security to buzz you in. The pool closes at 5. You pay the resort fee to use the pool but it closes before you can use it on your check-in day. The bathroom was tiled by the lowest priced contractor in the early 90s. The restaurant staff was amazing.
