The staff were friendly. It’s the perfect location, super close to the beach and many restaurants, coffee spots, everything you need. The room set up was a little odd, like a large dresser poorly placed and the closet door that is a mirror in the entrance that will break if someone opens the door with the it open. The bathroom is outdated. But I would definitely stay there again for the location and price.

The hotel was old. There was portable air conditioning in the room, which meant the window was open all the time. When it rained, water came into the room and onto the floor. At night, until midnight, you could hear people talking loudly and music from outside. The shower had a technical issue: whenever you showered, water would run all over the bathroom. But the worst part was their impolite front desk staff, except for one guy at the front desk with glasses. The rest of them were really unpleasant, and Rocio was the most arrogant and impolite person I have ever seen in the hospitality industry.

The staff was super sweet. The room was big enough for all 5 of us. We rented a one-bedroom king. One weird thing, neither TV’s worked. I had requested maintenance but it might have gotten looked over.
They only have a few channels to choose from. Not a great selection. The shower was warm, the kitchen was great! Close to a lot of things. The pools were nice. And the restaurant happy hour was a nice touch.

Property itself was clean. The staff were professional, however there is no customer service telephone number that works. If you need anything you have to leave your room and walk downstairs. The bed was old and uncomfortable and walls are super thin, the person above me was walking around all hours of the night and it kept me awake because it was so loud. If you’re a light sleeper not the place for you. Food nearby is excellent and only a 3-5 min walk to the beach. Don’t get a car unless you need it, parking is additional and the lots are sketchy due to the neighborhood. There’s an area a few paces outside the hotel where a lot of loitering happens.

Pros:
Great location! 20m from airport, 2 blocks from the beach, restaurants nearby, public parking lot on 23rd st.- $20 for 24hrs, good sized room with balcony! Free morning coffee, friendly staff.

Cons: No cleanliness supervision. Bathroom was not cleaned. Lumps of hair in the shower, used razon and chewed gum on the window sill. Thankfully I always travel with flip flops to shower and clorox wipes fot the toilet seat.

Such a shame. They need ro invest on cleanliness and rooms reresh. At least the towels and sheets smelled like clorox and also looked clean. Overall good bang for your buck if you're ok with the above mentioned posibilities.

3/5 stars. After a long day of traveling, the check-in experience was disappointing. We arrived after the posted check-in time but still had to wait about an hour for our room. The staff member assisting us didn’t seem very welcoming, which made the wait more frustrating.
The room itself was decent for the area, but the shower turned cold halfway through. Overall the stay was okay, but improving the check-in process and guest service would make a big difference for future guests.

Great location, old building. Things we most noted about the actual hotel: you can’t control the AC temperature in rooms or open any windows. The rooms and lobby have very strong smells (not good). The hotel itself is a pretty old building, so doesn’t feel super updated. Not bad for the price, but probably would stay somewhere else if we go back to South Beach.

This was a very poor experience. I paid for a suit that was advertised to have balcony access. I quickly learned, upon my arrival, that there would be no balcony access. The door were taped up, as they were utlizing an air unit, pulling in air from outside? Because the room’s thermostat was broken.

I alerted Expedia, requesting a refund, as I paid for accommodations, i clearly did not recieve, but they declined.

Additionally, I tried to contact hotel multiple times, ahead of my arrival, and the phone number on file, was never answered once.

I would not stay here again, and very disappointed in Expedia’s lack of willingness to help resolve this.

We travel a lot! This is by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. We stayed in their penthouse suite. I have never stayed in a louder more broken down dirty hotel room In my life. Floor tiles lifted to trip on, floors painted on that lift on your feet when you walk on them. The overwhelming loud sound of the elevator rattling the walls every time a floor is called to lift you no matter the hour.

The staff were friendly, but wasn’t impressed with the room. To be fair, we didn’t pay much for the room so low expectations. Regardless, I would not come back here. It was loud, you can hear everything going on in the other rooms and someone was blasting heavy metal music. The hot water in the shower barely worked and there was basically no water pressure. The bathroom was clean but it’s outdated. We were only here for one night. It also happened to be on the day it was cold here and the heat wouldn’t go up past 64 so it was freezing

To begin, the staff at the front desk is absolutely deplorable. We were in a building separate from the building where the lobby is and they continued to give us keys that did not work on our room door. After the third attempt, I tried calling the desk and as like every other time before with calling the front desk, no one answers. Then walking back to the front desk for the fourth time to get replacement room keycards, Nelson was absolutely rude and unhelpful. In addition upon our check-in, we found that the hot water faucet handle on our bathroom sink was nonfunctional. We told them at the front desk and told housekeeping every single day that we had no hot water from the bathroom sink. Yet, as with everything else, they were non-responsive and we never had hot water from the bathroom sink.

Bottom line, I would avoid this hotel at all costs.

They checked me into a room and when I walked in there was a guy laying in the bed so I had to get assigned a new room. The TV had 12 channels and only 3 in english. Internet was terrible. Had to get a new key card everyday. Band from restaurant was right outside my window and played till 2 am every night. People sitting at the restaurant tables was less than a foot from my window and could hear everything they were saying when the band was not playing. Mini fridge on the floor leaked everywhere. Shower had no door so towels had to be placed around toilet to absorb water. Only mirror and sink was beside bed so to brush your teeth you had to sit on the bed. Only 1 person spoke english and he was on night shift. NO PARKING. Restaurant food was garbage. This place needs shut down immediately. I have no clue how they have stayed in business for 6 months. Oh I forgot GOOD LUCK getting fresh towels unless you want a fee.

Getting into the hotel was a little confusing because they have 2 buidings on the same street and across from eachother. Luckily, a guy who was entering into the building that I was trying to get into told me to go across the street. There was another couple who was also confused so it all worked out.

Checking in was stressful because I was on the plane when it was communicated to me that the property does not accept AMEX. Luckily my partner jumped in to save the day. I had been calling the hotel all week but they did not answer their phone.

Another nuisance was that I was not provided with my breakfast vouchers upon check in. I checked in at around 10pm so I was told I had to wake up at 7:30 am to get my vouchers.

The room was ok...it was not stocked so all we had was a fridge & we did not have a phone so I had to roam to make local calls.

Other than that it was a lovely stay. There were many food options and the beach was relatively close by. You could walk or jump on free tram to get there.

The hotel had a nice roof top pool with loungers which was nice.
We had a balcony facing the main street & the hotel had a daily free happy hour where we could get a free drink.

I would definitely return again. Overall Id rate my experience an 8/10.

Regarding the room, it’s totally different from the pictures as they provide on the website.

It’s on site which is not comfortable to watch and there is a lot of important things like toilet flush remote control for the TV and other things which is not working and also a lot of things was broken the stuff can’t understand when we try to explained, like for example, we’re trying to tell them to bring a sign which we can’t put on door for not distribute they keep coming inside while we’re sleeping we can’t call front desk because there is no phone in the room and also when we’re going downstairs there is never ever you can find the person on the front desk.

We booked a double queen room with the intention of using the pull out sofa for an additional guest. Upon checking in, we were told that our room was in the building across the street. All of the hallways were musty. The elevator fit three people and it was very rickety. Once we entered the room we saw that it had not been improved upon in decades. When we pulled out the sofa bed we noticed that it was broken. When we used the shower water came up from the floorboards into the bedroom, and there were also large hair balls around the room. The first morning we were there I went down and spoke to someone who seemed like a manager. I told her all these things and asked if someone could come up to the room to check them, she wrote them all down on a Post-it note and walked away. Needless to say no one had come up to the room our entire stay to check on or fix these issues. There was also no offer to move us to another room. The pool needs to be cleaned and there is no one working either of the bars that I saw. The last morning we awoke to rain coming in through the windows and spilling all over the windowsills and floor. At checkout I told the front desk about this and they did not seem concerned at all and just said they would send someone to go look at it. I’ve seen many reviews for this hotel, and when anything negative is said the hotel responds that they will fix it and do better, but needless to say I don’t see that happening. I advise you to choose another hotel.

When I checked out of the hotel, a day early, the manager was yelling at his staff in the lobby. The poor woman behind the desk was paralyzed into inaction as the boss was such a jerk. Blaming her for his mismanagement. It was apparent that he blamed staff. As an ex-CEO, I blame him and the hotel. There is no coffee in the room. And they do not make coffee in the lobby until 8 am.

It was my first time in Miami and as much as I loved South Beach I absolutely hated my hotel. To start off the room we received had the bathroom sink outside the bathroom. The room service was delayed, and then when they came they attempted to open the door without knocking while me and my spouse were in the room. They told us since we were coming from New York they would accommodate an early check in, upon arrival we had to wait passed our check in time. This hotel seems very short staffed, ill mannerism, and poor upkeep. The last straw was we were told that we would be able to hang out in the pool after our check out since check out is 11am and our flight is at 9:30 PM. Upon checking out they did not even acknowledge us let alone give us a towel for us to be in the pool with. Mind you we stayed for a day shy of an entire week. Worst experience in a hotel out of all the years I have traveled. Highly disappointed and would NOT recommend to anyone.
