I have just stayed at the National hotel, for one night only... I wish I could have stayed longer...The minute you enter the lobby, you are back into the Art Deco era...Stay here is a journey by itself, the reception has kept its old style, the restaurant is just a nice mix of Art Deco and modern touches.. I had... More

My husband and I were at the National for a quick anniversary getaway May 16-May 18. We liked the hotel-Prime location, beautiful pool and outdoor area, great beach, and nice rooms. If it weren’t for what I read on tripadvisor prior to our stay I never would have known they were going through renovations. Our room was newly renovated with... More

We had a 7 night stay at The National in April 2013, and would recommend the hotel. Having read previous reviews we avoided the tower and booked a Cabana room with balcony overlooking the pool. The cabana room was spacious, clean and well maintained, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and had a good shower enclosure (N.B.... More

This is a nice property and it is a good value compared to neighboring hotels. We stayed in the main tower. The room is small(think many new York city or European rooms). They are stark as well with no art or color. Our friends stayed in the cabana are rooms were were large and also newly remodelled. The pool area... More

The hotel is set in the best neighborhood among other luxury hotels and a few minutes walk too the hustle and bustle of Lincoln Ave. The rooms are clean with all high end amenities. The room wasn't that big though consider what we paid for it. The pool was great with access onto the beach and nice buffet food you... More

I stayed at the National last year and it was fine. Rather 3.5 stars in my book. And the restoration work was LOUD. However, I was there last weekend (my friend was at the National and I stayed at the Raleigh) and her restored room (8th floor facing Collins) looked great! Spacious and quiet. Definitely 4 stars. The National pool... More

We spent 3 nights here and was disappointed to find the place like a building site when we arrived, there was no mention of renovation work going on when we booked it. The rooms are also looking a little tired now and could do with a makeover. There was also a service charge of $16 per night added when we... More

This hotel has a fantastic location. The pool is amazing and the beach is a short walk from the pool. The beach is very clean and the service (on the beach) was great. The rooms are a bit small but you won't spend much time in room!

I stayed Apr 28-may 2nd. I emailed them ahead of my trip to ensure construction was complete. They emailed back and said it was and that they were only doing exterior painting. Well I was awakened in the mornings at 8 am to drilling and banging. And the worst part is that I had to keep my shades down because... More
