The Mutiny Hotel contains a number of private condos, some of which are rented by the owners. Some owners go through the Hotel's rental program, while others advertise on the Internet and rent directly. We made a reservation for a 2 bedroom condo at the Mutiny advertised as "Miami Condo Oasis" at FloridaVactions(--)

As a family of 4 we prefer the space in a 2 bedroom condo which has a separate living room/dining area, as well as 2 bathrooms. This condo is quite lovely, on the 7th floor overlooking the pool and the bay. The living room has a nice flat screen TV on the wall and good cable selections. The master bedroom is large and comfortable with its own attached bathroom, including bidet. There is no maid service, but there are plenty of linens and towels, and there is a washer/dryer in the unit.

The second bedroom is a bit of a disappointment. It is quite small and has bunk beds which fill up most of the space in the room. Small kids might find it fun, but our teenager preferred to sleep on the living room sofa.

Pro's: Lovely condo at a price which is about a third less than renting directly from the hotel; free parking

Con's:
1. No maid service

2. the A/C has a lock on it so you cannot adjust it yourself. While we were there it was set at 74, which was warmer than we like. Make sure the owner sets the temperature where you like it.

3. Although owner's units are entitled to free parking, there was a lot of confusion with security about using it.

4.Finally, the owner requires a $500 security deposit which is supposed to be returned after 2 weeks. It look me a month to get our security deposit back, and only after the owner lied to me twice about having put it in the mail. Only when I was about to start making complaints to the hotel, to Pay-Pal (which he uses to receive payments), and to the sites he advertises at did he return my money via pay-pal. This was an unnecessary annoyance.

It's a very local area and soo much to do at night. If you're a young college student and you're looking for a cheaper place than South Beach that's nicer, defintely stay here! I had a great time and the hotel was beautiful with a great/friendly staff!

The only good thing about this hotel are the washer and dryer in the room.

I just finished a 4-night stay at the Mutiny with my wife, and we really enjoyed it. Just to be clear, this is NOT the place for you if you're looking for super-luxury, or pampering. But if you're looking for a very comfortable place, well-run, quiet, then the Mutiny is worth considering.

We were in a 1BR suite; the bedroom was small, but the bed itself was comfortable. The living room was more spacious, and the small kitchen was well-equipped. Modern bathroom, very clean throughout the place. The couch was a little cheapo.

The pool was excellent - comfortable deck chairs, nice jacuzzi, plenty of sun (don't blieve the other poster who said there was none).

This place felt like a 3-star to me.
