Clevelander

Frommer's Review

A South Beach institution favored by the beer-swilling set, the Clevelander is best known for its neon- and glass-blocked poolside and bar used in countless photo shoots and Budweiser commercials. As far as its reputation as a hotel, well, it's conveniently located on Ocean Drive and it's dirt cheap considering its location. Unfortunately, the dirt didn't stop there -- until a 2008 renovation closed the hotel so it could receive a major facelift in the form of new lobby and guest rooms with Wi-Fi and flatscreens, and, of course, more bars and a rooftop lounge. The makeover won't change the noise level, which on Ocean Drive can be deafening. Party animals don't mind at all. But if your idea of a party doesn't involve drinking challenges and wet-T-shirt contests, visit the Clevelander for a cocktail and stay elsewhere.
