My only problem was our Kureg coffee pods were not replaced each day when the room was cleaned. I had to go to the front desk each day to request the coffee be delivered to our room. The cleaning staff did not speak English so I couldn’t communicate this issue with them.

Great location, near tons of restaurants and shops. Clean room and property. Staff was very nice. The bar downstairs had good food and service. The pool was nice, more of a relaxing environment than fun/lively. At the pool, you can hear the music from the downstairs dj but you can’t see anything down there.

It's 1 block away from the beach and all the fun bars/resturants. You have to pay for valet parking but it's worth it because parking is hard to come by there. The staff was amazing and super helpful! I would definitely stay here again.

It was only a couple minutes' walk to the beach, and it was on a great street full of great restaurants and not too far from shopping. The staff was always very attentive and kind, and I'd stay here again. My little balcony over the Sola fountain was a perfect perch, and the room was really spacious and comfortable.

The only thing that did work properly was the Internet. I wouldn’t stay here again. This hotel desperately needs a makeover. Just because you’re located on Collins ave doesn’t mean it’s 5 star!! Broken hotel room door, I def got a balcony room and they gave me ground level because that’s all they had, no TV service, the doors are lock key and old so mosquitos get in, I only SAW the pool and it was tiny. Took 40 mins for the hot water to work in our room would absolutely NOT STAY here again. The overnight girl told me I needed to wake up every 4 hours because she couldn’t direct me where to park overnight. The manager just blamed all the staff. What a joke and waste of over $1000 for three nights. NEVERRRRR AGAIN

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here during a trip to Miami and overall had a good experience. Our room was on the first floor with a garden view, which we really liked. The patio access was nice since you entered the room through doors right off the garden area, which made it feel a little more private and relaxed.

The only issue we had was with the door lock—it was a bit tricky to maneuver and you had to push the handle up in order for it to lock properly. Maintenance came extremely quickly though (within about three minutes of us calling), which we really appreciated.

One thing I wish the room had was a second layer of curtains on the patio doors. If you opened the curtains to let natural light in, people outside could see directly into the room. Sheer curtains would have made it possible to have some daylight while still keeping privacy. Otherwise the room relied mostly on two lamps for lighting.

The location was excellent and one of the best parts of the stay—we were able to walk pretty much everywhere. The rooftop pool was nice and the water was warm, although it was a little less impressive in person than it looked in the photos. Still, it was perfectly enjoyable.

All of the front desk staff were very sweet and helpful throughout our stay. Overall we had a great trip and enjoyed our time here.

I never leave bad reviews but there’s always a first time. As someone who works in the hospitality industry I’m shock with the level of disrespect guests are treated in this hotel. Everyone is rude, they can’t accommodate a simple request. Take your money somewhere else where you’re treated with respect and they appreciate your business.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, the rooms clean. Carpeting in hallways looked old and dirty, but room was good. The pool area looks much nicer and luxurious in the pictures. In reality it was dead with no amenities. The \"pool bar\" was a fold out table occasionally staffed. I went to the pool one time, as it was not fun. Location was excellent. Close to beach, close to Lincoln Rd. mall, bar's, and restaurants right outside. Location and price very worth it.

This is a large, but modest property in sunny Miami Beach. It is NOT a fancy hotel, but it got the job done, and in some ways better than fancy hotels. It had a great location, close to Ocean Drive and all the lively restaurants, to Washington Ave a main thoroughfare with many bus stops and quickie eateries. It was really close to the beach. I liked that they give you beach towels. Our room had a king bed, a small loveseat/ couch, and a small balcony about 4' x 4'. The balcony was convenient to feel the weather outside and dry some of our clothes/ bathing suits after washing. The hotel has its own restaurant, but we didn't get a chance to go. There is a pool on the roof, but it is very small, not very deep, and there isn't a lot of space for lounge chairs. When we arrived in our room, several things were broken. The holder for shampoo/ conditioner/ soap, looked like it was falling, and so did the peg behind the bathroom door (essentially a towel hook) was also falling. Both were fixed after we reported it. The handle on the shower that controls water swung freely, so you have to be really careful with it. The original shower head had very weak pressure, but they replaced that too. Our balcony door didn't stay closed when we pulled it - we had to lock it to get it to stay. There was usually music outside, but the music was barely audible once we closed the balcony door. Definitely needs more bathroom counter space. Needs rugs on floor. Needs more space near toilet/shower.

The employee is at the front desk were very friendly- the room that we had looked nothing like the rooms that were pictured. We stayed in a one king bed deluxe room for reference. They had given our room assignment to somebody else at night when we stayed and they opened our door while we were sleeping, which was quite unsettling. We also requested a 1 PM check out but ended up leaving at 7:30 AM due to the night. We told them to please cancel when we were leaving and told them about our disturbance at night, which they recognized, but did nothing to amend it. They also charged us for the 1 PM check out and have been very difficult to get a hold of.. they did text me to say they will take care of it. I tried calling and no answer again.

They will text asking if you have questions or concerns. And they answer! Huge plus.

Front desk was friendly and personable. First room we were given was in bad shape and not due to housekeeping, it needs renovation. Second room was much better and also clean. In general the hotel needs updates - carpet in hallways torn, scuffs and tears in wallpaper. The staff was friendly and helpful it's clear they are working with what they got. In the end we were satisfied with the room change but wouldn't necessarily be back.

Please do not stay here. This hotel was the worst experience I’ve ever had on South Beach. The valet service was a nightmare. There’s no reason it should take 30 minutes for car retrieval. The phone number to the front desk didn’t work, the food at the restaurant was obviously microwaved and frozen, housekeeping was unprofessional and the cleaning was subpar…and the room looked nothing like the pictures.

The hotel staff is lovely though under-resourced left check-in wanting. The property is tired, has paper thin walls and the restaurant plays loud music day and night so I slept with my AirPods in. Upon arrival the shower did not work at all and basic amenities like coffee cups or water were lacking. They charge a $34/night resort fee and provide few amenities for that fee. A pool promising a bar for a sunset drinks was unmanned the whole time we were there (3 nights) so would prefer they raise their rates rather than surprise guests with a charge that is valueless.

Pros: Overall good. Cons: Room 107(?), the first room on the right side of the hallway, up 6 steps (no elevator to this level) from the lobby level. It had a vent in the ceiling that was big enough for the whole hallway and lobby (4’x3’?), and it made noise at night. There was a portable ac unit in the room too. No one told to use it instead of the regular wall thermostat until I brought this to their attention at checkout. We stayed in another room across the plaza. Same thing, carry luggage up six steps. No one informed us that there was a ramp around back. We’re old people. The shade in the second room stopped working on the first try. Stuck open, bright lights all night from the parking garage across the street. P.S. The mini bar charges for K-Cups. We would probably stay here again, though. It is in a good location, a short walk to the beach and shops.

Filled out the precheck in days in advance, saying I wanted a quiet room and I didn’t care if it had the worst view in the building since I was there to work nights and would sleep during the day. was given the 2nd floor room right above the main entrance on the corner of Collins and 10th. Then confirmed a 2pm checkout with two different front desk workers the night before and the morning of, only to have the general manager knock at my door at 12 and say he had no record of that and I needed to get out right away. On top of all that the room was run down and shower head leaking into the ceiling/walls behind. Couldn’t pay me to go back

Had to wait 45 mins to get rooms. Booked 2 rooms and they put one in one building and the other in other building. I needed them together. 1st room smelled really bad by the restaurant kitchen on first floor. After waiting another 30 mins they finally found another room on the same floor as the other one…🤔. Come to find out they didn’t want us to have the other room because we booked through Expedia and it was a discounted rate. Them…. They harassed me about a resort fee! Called me and was really rude and even came knocking on my door. I paid in full online but when I arrived they wanted to charge a resort fee of $34/day. No parking, had to pay valet of another hotel across the street $50/night. Iron board was broken in one of the rooms. Ice machine didn’t work. I’ll stop there.
However, it was conveniently located to all the activities and restaurants on south beach.
