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

We have a very nice renovated room but i felt like the rift raft they are trying to keep out.It is expensive to stay there and then they charge 35.00 a day for valet parking somewhere on a private lot. Well it was going to rain and we had left our umbrellas in the car. Decided it was cheaper to... More

This was definitely a unique experience. My friends and I hated and loved this place at the same time. When we first got to the hotel, we were not able to check in, so we went out to the pool. This provided us with high expectations about the room. The pool is amazing with gorgeous palm trees everywhere and pretty... More
