....the Atlantic Beach Hotel, 3400 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, which came in at #6 on TripAdvisor.com's list of 2011's Top 10 Dirtiest Hotels in the U.S.

The rankings are based on TripAdvisor's reader reviews.

One reader said of the Atlantic Beach: "Probably more sanitary to sleep in the bathroom of the room."

Another said: "This place should not be open for business. Granted you get what you pay for but I believe after staying there we paid too much. The first room we stayed in flooded and damaged our things which we were not reimbursed. The second room was FILTHY. Bugs all over the room, food left from other guests and the staff was NOT pleasant to say the least. I would have been more comfortable sleeping on the boardwalk."

So, congratulations to the Atlantic Beach Hotel and its owners, Pegaso Hotels of Key Biscayne on a job well done!

Footnote: The Parisian Hotel at 1510 Collins Ave., Miami Beach made the list last year and it appears that it's still a pretty awful place to stay! One reader calls The Parisian,  "a disgusting crack den."
