"The Cadet is a different type of South Beach experience. There are no views of the beach, and the vibe is more B&B than SoBe Cool." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Tranquil boutique hotel, with a fresh, clean look enhanced by bamboo floors and a patio-garden where you can enjoy a glass of wine."
Time Out "On a sleepy backstreet, this low-rise 1930s hotel is an undiscovered gem." Full review
Gayot "Opened in December 1941, this B&B was named in memory of the WWII training cadets who lived there."
Lonely Planet "The Cadet wins our award for most creative embellishments in its rooms." Full review

Frommer's "Each room and suite in the oceanfront hotel is a nod to the stately colonial rooms of yesteryear blended with the modern aesthetic of South Beach." Full review
Concierge "Situated on the quieter northern end of South Beach's raucous Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is, in many ways, a fish out of water—picture a Southern belle surrounded by Art Deco divas."

Rough Guide Star
"Leisure meets luxury at The Betsy, a 61-room beachfront beauty located on a quiet stretch of Ocean Drive."
Star Service "Fashionable, understated and wholly in charge of this end of Ocean Drive, The Betsy curtsies elegantly alongside its peers The Tides and Victor." Full review
Gayot "Following a complete renovation, this Ocean Drive landmark with its impressive colonial facade has become one of the freshest faces in Miami Beach."
BlackBook "Sixty-three rooms and suites decked out with wi-fi, iPod docks, huge flatscreens and TVs built into the mirrors in the louve."

"Classy The Betsy Hotel stands apart from the famed candy-coated, neon-lit strip on which it sits." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler88.9
"The fresh interior is more Savannah than SoBe, with chairs upholstered in striped fabric, curtains and bedspreads bordered in matching colors—lavender, mustard, green—and a neat pile of books." Full review
Jetsetter "SoBe’s demure Southern Belle is a standout in a sea of flamboyant Art Deco divas." Full review
