Staff was nice.
Room was clean but bed was like an oversized foldable cot with a spring mattress that felt like I was sleeping on the floor. Small room is an understatement. One chair with no table to work from, smallest bathroom ever seen. Had to approach sink from the side to use due to space. Tv didn’t work. Ironing board was not useable.

There is a small elevator that barely is big enough for a luggage cart, complimentary water is only available in small flimsy cups, no bottled water. The lobby was the best part of the hotel. The room was like stepping back in time 50+ years ago. The sink is in the room and the air unit is in the wall, trailer style. I did not shower or use the bathroom; it was that bad. There are no USB connections, and you can see thru the door, it has an actual bedroom door doorknob, not exactly safe/secure.

Staff was nice. Location was decent for what I needed. The room was ridiculously bad for the price. Paid over $300 for a bathroom that looked like it was a closet converted into a bathroom. Couldn't even turn around in the shower without knocking into the walls. The sheets had make up or something on them. The TV was tiny. No key cards, but actual physical keys. No parking had to pay extra and walk to the hotel. Would not recommend.

This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed. We paid for 2 nights but only stayed one and didn’t care how much it costed us. Very old and outdated hotel. Thin walls, small rooms, old super uncomfortable beds, stained sheets, tiny bathroom, dirty yucky shower curtain…DONT STAY HERE. As my friend said it’s like the sayin..putting lipstick on a pig. They tried to paint the halls, rooms to make it look nice but it’s terrible!!!

We paid $380 for the night and couldn’t believe that it was really a $100 hotel.

The staff was friendly but the room is very very dated and weird. I slept with all my clothes on and left as soon as the sun came out.

There are no night tables. The sink is in front of the bed. The AC was old and loud. It was an actual key for entry/ exit and the door didnt feel securely closed. The mattress was on a metal/ spring base. This hotel is definitely for when roughing it.

If i was paying $100 i suppose “ you get what you get” but for $380 whicg was clearly marked up after the winter storm its unacceptable. I actually considered leaving and sleeping in the Airport.
Book with caution and low expectations

They truly trick you with how nice the lobby is. But then you go upstairs and the rooms are horrible. Dirty. Just dirty. The rooms are tiny and uncomfortable.

PROs 1) Price point $100s less vs newer hotels this close to sea terminal, 2) Our bed had very comfortable mattress, 3) Elly & hotel staff at reception were pleasant, very helpful, knew local places to eat, called an oversized cab for 4 persons with luggage to take us to sea terminal, 4) Cold water in lobby nice touch. CONs This building has issues due to it's age: 1) slow elevator, 2) shower tiles must have been installed by a blind person, 3) key used for suite door locks, 4) Hotel diner was closed / being renovate, so we walked to Flores for best breakfast ever!

Idk what hotel keeps a sink outside of the bathroom but this is a first and definitely last time. Me and my friend were shocked by how small the room was since we had a couple suitcases. The room was very neat but it was not clean at all!! I found dead bugs behind the fridge while looking for outlet sources to charge my electronics and came across it. Me and my friend were very disgusted and had to book another hotel. I do give props to the lady at the front desk for being very welcoming and assisting us to our room. Overall, wouldn’t rebook this place again.

They need merge every two rooms into one. The bed barely fit in the room. Thankfully we only needed to stay for one night. But like I said the staff was polite, courteous and eat above and beyond to try and cater to our needs. Stephanie rocks!

At least they changed the room from the third floor to the second! The only restaurant open was a McDonald’s a distance away which was not a choice I would make.

Beware- do not make the mistake of staying here

Beware! This is NOT a hotel that you would want to bring your family to stay in. After a long, delayed flight we were happy to near our hotel in Miami, however,the Uber driver did not even know where the hotel was, which is strange for an Uber driver. Then we checked-in and were handed a physical key, not a key card or fab. When we went up to the room, we opened the door to a bed full of stains and a very strong obscene smell in the room. The window could have been city facing, however, we could not see through the cheap plastic material it was made up of from what could have been the 1980s. When we asked for a room that matched the pictures and description we saw online, they gave us 2 more options. These were no different than the first room. At 2:00am we were forced to find another hotel in the area that had availability. This is the type of hotel that one may rent by the hour, but not one that you would want to sleep in during your stay in the Miami area.

My room was absolutely disgusting. There were black dots and stains all over my sheets. The air conditioner was not working properly, I was sweating after only being in there for a few minutes. There was a used bandaid sitting on the bed. It smelled horrible in the room as well, which could have even been from having no air running when I came in. I ended up giving them my key and driving home in the middle of the night after walking into what I saw. I have never had this experience at a hotel before, where it was so dirty I couldn’t even sleep there. I was with one of my girlfriends and I was promised “24 hour security”. We walked into the hotel lobby freely with not a single worker in sight. I waited a few minutes to try to talk to someone and still nobody showed up. I was worried being two woman in a hotel where anyone could walk in and use the elevator to get to your room with no key. Another thing I have never experienced at a hotel before. I want a refund on my money considering I couldn’t even stay there because of how dirty the room was and how there was absolutely no security in a downtown Miami hotel.
