I stayed at ESA Coral Gables 5 nights in November. I had never before stayed at an ESA Hotel. I chose the hotel mainly because it is centrally located in Coral Gables. Rooms are spacious and clean. Equipment is somewhat old but that did not bother me. Staff was very friendly and helpful. However, I never thought that I had... More

I was in this hotel twice, in february (high season) and in august 2011. First time my fiance and I were there for a week: it was very good, the room was simple but well organized, except for the bad smell from the coffee machine (i'm italian and i don't like a freezing room, but if we turned off the...

I was hesitant to stay at this ESA after reading the below review, so I toured the hotel before booking my stay. The room I saw and the room I ended up staying in had absolutely no bed bugs. I spoke to a staff member about the issue and he told me that there had been a guest who got... More

I thought I had a reaction from one of the dogs at work but it ended up being bed bugs all the time. I was reading a book and they started crawling in my bed. I had bites everywhere in my body. I was traumatized. They changed me rooms in the same floor, guess what? More bugs.. they took me... More

Location good, price right, but oh my goodness the entire building smells like smoke. They claim to have non smoking rooms, but both rooms we were in I almost suffocated. I'm sick now just staying here overnight. The lobby, elevator, hallways, and room- carpet, walls, sheets, bedding, everything smell like smoke. For someone who is pregnant this is totally unacceptable.... More

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was neat and clean and housekeeping was excellent. We were very pleased with the location. The hotel was walking distance, say 15 minutes to everything, shopping, restraurants and church. We had no need for a car. More

The staff was very friendly, however, they should have at least 2 people working in the front desk. It gets crowded at times and it seems to be too much for one person to handle room calls, regular phone calls, and on-site guests. The room was good but it was a little dirty. We found a couple of napkins on... More

We were looking for a place with a reasonable rate yet still close to the Coconut Grove Arts Festival (normally held during Presidents Day weekend), and found it at this hotel. It's on the edge of Coral Gables (in fact just a block away from the upscale shopping & restaurant mecca known as the "Miracle Mile"), though actually within Miami... More

We really like this hotel and would stay here again. We were traveling on a budget and landed a corner room on top floor with great views. Room has a comfy bed and it was clean, TV's are small for this day and age, but had 2 showtime channels. Loved that we had a kitchenette and were able to open... More
