Nice location, that’s where it ends. The room was awful. Iron didn’t work, safe didn’t open, tv was 15 years old and sounded like it was under water. The electronic key worked 1/2 the time, we had to keep trying it until it activated the lock. ‘Breakfast’ was a stretch - took one look and passed on it. The staff from the restaurant next door hangs out back after their shift, right outside our room and parties. Wonderful. Certainly wasn’t worth the rate being charged. Or maybe any rate.

This hotel was nothing like what was described online. It was filthy, run‑down, and extremely loud. Whatever was happening there sounded like a circus stomping on your head until 2 a.m. Our room, 109, was absolutely horrible. Housekeeping must have poured a gallon of bleach in the shower—the fumes were overwhelming. The air‑conditioning unit was so loud it sounded like a freight train. To top it off, the man at the front desk wouldn’t even give us a bottle of water upon arrival after we had been flying all day. They had no tissues in the room. The TV did not work. The bed was dirty. We would not recommend this place.

The room is cozy, a couple improvements could be better WiFi in the building asI had to use my hotspot to watch tv. Also the outlets didn't really work so it was hard trying to charge my phone. The breakfast could use major improvement, they serve packaged snack items, Capri Sun drinks, boxed cereal, and coffee so I ended up having to buy breakfast for the week. Next to a restaurant so I could hear everything from my room. Great location, close to the beach and good eats nearby.

The tv was busted, internet was so slow that we couldn’t use it. I had class that I had to log into while I was there and ended up having to hotspot my phone in order to join. The outlets were so busted my chargers wouldn’t stay in the sockets. The only good thing about this hotel is it has decent location. Would not stay there again.

Low budget. Beds needs to be sprayed with hot steam to kill mites
or sprayed with insecticide. I was coughing, child next door woke up coughing because the mites caused itching of the skin and irritate the sinuses, they get into your clothes,hair
I used a hair dryer to all effected objects and my body while there and once I boarded my ship cruise room so I wouldn’t spread the mites there also

We truly enjoyed staying at this hotel and although it may not be a five star, it is an Art Deco hotel and the location was excellent. The staff was very personable and professional. The room was definitely small and one of the beds squeaked but it was clean and served its purpose for our stay prior to our cruise out of Miami. The breakfast was basic but it provided the basics. I would stay again. It’s a great weekender!

Room and parking! The hotel didn’t have a lot of amenities. It wasn’t the cleanest! We looked out the window and our view was a back alley which had a latter to our window. The staff took breaks in the alley just below our room. There were kids running the hall being really loud until almost 11pm. No vending ice machine. They just have a small countertop ice maker for the whole hotel.

The room was in really bad condition. It overlooked the building next doors’s AC system which I couldn’t decide was a good or bad thing because it would be very loud when it was on and the turn of and on but at least it was drowning out the very loud bar we were RIGHT NEXT TO that would blare music in the wee hours. All the furniture was worn out. The worst part was I made reservations 4 months ago. I think they reserve the worst for second party sites like this one which is unfair. The front desk staff were really nice and genuinely tried to be accommodating which is why I am not giving only 1 star.

Room was clean. Staff was nice. Was able to get a late check out with no issues. Only complaint I had was the WiFi was spotty. Kept going in and out so the tv wouldn’t work. The restaurant right next door was within arms reach of our window so we heard all the staff coming in and out the side door all night.
Great area. Walking distance for everything. Starbucks is right across the street which was a plus.

When I initially booked this room I missed the valet parking only or find your own off site space…No on site parking…

Room and bathroom were extremely small compared to photos…Continental breakfast was ok…

Fantastic location to walk around and enjoy the beach, dining and entertainment…Loved Mangos Tropical Cafe, South Beach…

Remember this property is almost 90 years old…
Overall property was amazingly clean and felt safe…

Key cards kept failing and made a few trips to desk to get recoded..

The staff was excellent and very responsive…
Overall we enjoyed our 1 night stay there…

A very tired hotel. Everything is rusty and broken... The bed is very uncomfortable. The TV is tiny. There are no blinds on the windows. And you have a choice: close the curtains and sit in the dark or open them and look out the window of the building across the street.
Pros: Nice breakfast area. Everything you need for a light snack is available (boiled eggs, toast, jams, fruit, cereal, juices, etc.). There's a coffee machine with beans. There was a cockroach running around, though... but that's nothing new in this city.
The renovation is done in Art Deco style, which I really like. It's clear that every detail was chosen with love. But it's been around for a while and needs a makeover. The hotel is conveniently located.
The ocean is literally across the street. Close to all the party spots, but not so close that they interfere with sleep. Perfect! Unfortunately, we paid for six nights at this hotel. And I hate to have to sleep on an uncomfortable bed in a broken room...

Quaint & Quirky Piece of History

The hotel is quaint and quirky. I love that they honored it's history and didn’t over modernize it. But you can tell that the renovations (~2018) were a bit sloppy...things like sockets coming out of the walls, sealance spotty around the window sash, etc. You can hear everything going on in the hall and adjacent rooms. The bathrooms are small and awkward (but likely due to it's age). Breakfast was all prepackaged foods. We stayed as a family of 5 in 2 rooms and they put us across the hall from eachother, which was nice. This is definitely more geared towards young couples, girls trips, etc. and not ADA compliant at all - you have to go up steps to all rooms. The staff was nice. They offer beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, and bikes - which is a great perk. Parking is $40 cash valet with in/out privileges - just ask for your car well in advance because it takes a long time to get it (~30 min). The beach is within walking distance and the location was perfect - close enough to walk to everything of interest, but far enough away that it's quiet and safe. Would definitely stay here again, just be aware if you have special needs or requirements.

I booked this for a stay on 5/15/25-5/18/25 through Hotels.com, thinking I had found a great deal. I was mistaken. The pictures must be from when they first opened. When I got there, I was very disappointed. There was a strong smell of some sage or something that had me coughing or trying to catch my breath. As we are sitting in the area with tables, I notice that the trash can is overflowing. How could this be a place to serve food, and it looks like this? I was given a room on the 1st floor on the right side of the hall. I walked into the room and was very surprised by how small it was. It was for myself and my son, who is about 6 ft, and we could barely move around in the room. When we pulled back the curtains, our view was what it looked like, the alley or the side of the building with their dirty mops and rags. How disgusting was that for your guest to see! There was a closet that looked old and unclean with a small refrigerator in. I felt overwhelmed and said to the front desk person that I was not happy with the hotel. This was not a place that I wanted to lay my head. My son and I took a walk to just clear my head of everything wrong. I had booked this trip to relax to get my health on track. THIS HOTEL MADE ME VERY STRESSED. When I came back in there was a new person at the desk. I advised that I would like to CANCEL MY STAY AND REQUESTED A REFUND!. He stated that he had 1 other room for me, but the room had the same issue. I just asked for a COMPLETE REFUND BACK!

Property itself is average but ok. What surprised me was how rude the front desk staff was in particular the African American man. We asked about parking options and he sounded indifferent and disinterested in providing information. Gave me a leaflet and told me to read it. Parking is valet $40 and has to be cash? I am unsure why it has to be cash. Asked also if there was a cot or single mattress for our 12 year old since there was only 1 bed in room for 3 people. Once again he said no and his delivery was rude and unhelpful. He told me some people sleep 3 adults in 1 bed and the hotel does not judge them. The same info delivered in a different way would have been ok but he was outride disinterested and unhelpful in his communications . Based on this I would not recommend this hotel
