Beautiful hotel in South Beach Miami. I loved all the amenities they provided. The restaurant has VERY good food, some of the best food we had in Miami was at this location. My only complaint is the valet parking. Sometimes we waited 30 min for our car, only to still walk a couple of blocks to the parking garage where it was stored. While paying for valet is essential in this busy area of South Beach I’d recommend requesting your car 40 min in advance or know where your car is so you can walk to it. Otherwise, we had a fantastic stay! Highly recommend

Elevator was broke and we had to carry our own bags up and down. They should have had better bell service knowing the elevator was out of service. While the room was clean the bathroom is tiny and outdated. Best part of the room was the space. They could have given some of that to the bathroom. Great location though and ok for 1 night. Restaurant served delicious food but we could do without the smokers.

Hotel was very clean and the staff did a good job cleaning our room. Luis at the front desk was very accommodating by making sure we had beach chairs and extra beach towels. Room left a little sterile. The air conditioner in the room was very loud when on as well as the ceiling fan. Amenities a basic. Coffee in the morning was only located on the 2nd floor so if you are on the third floor you need to go down to 2nd floor to get coffee. Last 2 days of our trip there was no milk available for coffee. We also purchased the breakfast options to include breakfast in our reservation. Breakfast was basic. The breakfast menu was limited.

Unfortunately, there were several misses during out time here.

The room we booked via expedia was completely different set up than reality. The room we got felt smaller and had no vanity mirror, or place to do your makeup. Buyer beware that the photos that show the room are not accurate. They did move us to a room that had the layout we were expecting but had to wait and spend a night in the original room they gave us.

The elevator did not work the whole time I was here. This means I had to walk up and down the stairs several times (even though staff told me the elevator would be fixed shortly). I even had to carry my luggage down 3 flights of stairs.

One of the staff walked into our room without knocking. He literally just opened the door and walked in on me my partner taking a nap… as you can imagine, this situation could have been much much worse especially considering that there is a female staying in my room. We did not feel a sense of privacy or safety for the rest of the stay as a result of feeling that our door could be opened without notice at any moment.

No ice in the ice machine.

There were little ants in the room. Something should be done about that - I’ve never seen something like this in any premium hotel I have stayed in.

All in all, I am disappointed with the quality of this stay, especially considering the price. Gave this 2 stars because the location is actually great and they do have the benefits of providing bikes, towels, and beach chairs.

Entire hotel is modern and updated as needed e.g new very modern bar stools. Hallway had a nice fragrance I was told by their newly hired Director of Operations Mgr there getting feedback from guest and staff and assessing the facility said the owner is the entertainer Gloria Estefan

I did not stay at the hotel. I called to book a room. I was told that the room was available. Next, when I arrived I was told to walk to another hotel and they had a reservation waiting for me at the ken more. Once, I arrived to the kenmore I was told they had no rooms. I waited 20 minutes and the front desk clerk finally gave me a room. I had to re/pay for the new room although I was charged already through expedia for a room I never occupied.

Cons:
The rooms are small but more importantly, the lack of cleanliness was definitely disappointing. Our original room was not cleaned, only the linens changed. Rust stains on the shower floor in all the rooms we checked out that just looked so gross. Water spots o the floor ext to the toilet was likely urine and the floors were very sandy. Also, visible black mold on the bottom of the ice bucket in every single room we visited as well as a musty/moldy odor in the rooms. We complained and was given another sub-par room - both rooms had no had soap in the bathroom dispensers, which had me grossed out thinking about all the surfaces touched by the unwashed hands of guests before us. How do you not check/refill hand soap dispensers?
The manager was rude and dismissive and did not care about the lack of care or attention to cleanliness that affected our guest experience. I have a feeling all 3rd party booking guests may receive the same treatment. We had friends that booked direct - larger room and not as many issues, although they also had a moldy ice bucket. Beach chairs are also old and tattered. Don’t stay here.

Pros - Location is great. Go for the onsite restaurant, Call Me Cuban Restaurant. The food and service at the restaurant are excellent. The hotel, not so much.

It’s a cool looking hotel in a great location however. The bed is noisy, the AC is loud, the pillows are useless, the hot water is almost non existent (had to let run for 28 minutes before warm water made it there). If you are on the 2nd floor or lower, booming music until midnight. The front desk people were nice. Room was clean and bright. If you want rest, go somewhere else, if you are there for a great location, party and don’t care about sleep, this is your place.

TV remote didn’t control the TV but a little box hooked to the tv we had to expose before it would work. Had to turn off TV manually. You’re really just paying for location.

Had to call front desk for pillows enough for the 4 of us too. Music blasting until all hours. Bright lights shined into the room all night long even with shades and drapes pulled.

Have reviewed over 300 hotels all over the world so I am pretty particular and are not easily wowed. We travelled most of the year in hotels on Europe, USA, and Caribbean.
I do not recommend this hotel for many reasons.
1.Some days no hot water, half the time 5 minute wait to get warm water, but never gets really hot.
2.$40 resort fee added to your bill. They said that covered WIFI and bicycles
3.They have 5 bicycles. They said they are not rented often. The first hour is free, she then said that it is a $50/hour charge after that. You can rent bicycles from the CITI bike stands for $24 for the whole day and less per hour.
4.They charge you $100/day for incidentals, but will return money if inspection of room yields no damage. Mini bar items are charged to this, including a small bottle of water for $10.00. Everything is very expensive.
5.Front desk personnel do not welcome you when you enter. Playing with phone, working on computer, no one else there but you walking in or out. Most were young 20 year olds that had trouble understanding and speaking English
6.When I encountered workers in the hotel no one said hello or frankly smiled.
7.Windows dirty with paint on them (see pictures). Asked 5 times to get them cleaned. No action, no feedback, just crickets
8.Rooms very plain with blank walls. No pictures on the walls.
9.It is nice that they play music until after 1100 in front of the hotel. It is very loud. It is like living over a night club. Don’t get a room

The positives: 1. Clean room & clean hotel. 2. Crisp decor. 3. Hotel looked great. Nice design. Loved the red grand piano and the wall art in the corridors.

Negatives: 1. The resort fee - should have been included on the booking fee. It’s sketchy behaviour and not customer friendly. 2. The steps at the front make it difficult to wheel in your luggage. 3. No pool. 4. The single elevator means sometimes you have to wait a long time.

The second floor was a bit noisy due to the staff being loud in the early morning. They have their breakroom, maintenance room, and supplies room in between rooms, which makes it difficult for them to be quiet. Additionally, there’s an exit door that slams so loudly when the staff exits.
