Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location near South Beach and local restaurants is a standout feature. Despite some room issues like an old feel, proximity to noise sources, and no modern amenities, the service was informative. The dining options were limited with the use of plastic containers. However, the close proximity to the beach and key areas make it ideal for exploring Miami Beach.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was excellent, just a block from the beach, and within walking distance to various attractions. The service was a bit of a letdown due to some rude behavior witnessed towards staff. The rooms had some issues like moisture smells and lack of a desk chair, making it less than ideal. The dining experience was just enough to get the day started but could have been better.
The hotel was in a prime location, just a block from the beach and surrounded by restaurants, but the rooms were outdated, posing some safety concerns. The service was excellent, with polite and helpful staff. The dining options were limited for breakfast, and the facilities seemed lacking in variety.
