Overview
Samantha Apartments by Lowkl is a 3-star apartment-style stay in Miami Beach at 235 30th St. With a public rating of 3.7/5 from 251 reviews, it’s positioned as a value-leaning option where the experience can depend on expectations. Reviews frequently highlight helpful, responsive staff and a convenient Mid-Beach location.
Location
The property sits on 30th Street in Miami Beach, roughly across from the beachfront area by the Fontainebleau Miami Beach (about 1.3 km away). It’s also close to cultural stops such as The Bass (about 1.1 km) and the Miami Beach Botanical Garden (about 1.6 km). Farther out, guests have access to major Miami attractions like Bayside Marketplace (about 6.8 km), the Pérez Art Museum Miami (about 6.5 km), and Wynwood Walls (about 7.4 km).
Apartments & In-room setup
As an apartment property, units are set up for self-directed stays rather than full-service hotel living. Guest feedback references some units being more spacious and having features like extensive windows and a small pull-out sofa, but storage can be limited. Some reviews also note maintenance and comfort issues in-room, particularly around bathroom fixtures and shower hot water.
Services & stay experience
Guest commentary most consistently points to attentive, accommodating staff and responsive communication, including help when check-in tools don’t work as expected. Some stays mention flexibility such as support with later checkout during travel delays. At the same time, reviews also flag operational friction points (such as app-based check-in) and inconsistent cleanliness.
Best for
This property is best suited to budget-minded travelers who want a Mid-Beach base near the Fontainebleau area and cultural spots like The Bass. It can work well for guests who value responsive staff and are comfortable with a more self-managed, apartment-style stay. Travelers with high expectations for spotless housekeeping or seamless tech-based check-in may find it less consistent.
Travel tips
If you’re arriving after a long travel day, plan for the possibility of app-based check-in friction and allow extra time in case ID upload or other steps don’t work smoothly. The location is a practical jumping-off point for Mid-Beach sights, with The Bass (about 1.1 km) and Miami Beach Botanical Garden (about 1.6 km) within easy reach. For downtown/Edgewater attractions like the Pérez Art Museum Miami and Frost Museum of Science (about 6.5–6.7 km away), expect a longer ride compared with staying in the city core.
What guests say

Communication is a recurring positive, including assistance with late entry or checkout. Common drawbacks mentioned include cleanliness concerns, limited storage, and maintenance or comfort issues in bathrooms (such as towel quality and shower hot water). Some guests also report friction with the check-in app and occasional building-wide disturbance from alarms.
