Great customer service with great location
My stay was great. The staff both night staff and day staff was very accomodating and knowledgeable with recommendations. I arrived late for a 24 hour lay over in Miami and they held my luggage and gave me a towel to use at the beach across the street and at the pool next door.

Overall a good hotel.
Overall a nice hotel in a really good location but the rooms are small they are conditioner was noisy and don't maintain a steady temperature. You're paying 100% for the location and not for the hotel itself.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for a good price
A bit outdated but I guess for the price paid in Miami Beach it was expected. Location couldn’t be better and having breakfast included was great. Would recommend it for not too picky travelers.

SBWFF Get Away Weekend
A nice hotel for a weekend getaway. The room was comfortable. Walking distance from Lincoln Road and hop skip and jump to the beach. Also, to the SBWFF. My only complaint was the food voucher for next door. The breakfast was cold and not appetizing

For this costly price you would expect more, even in Miami. Not very modern. Breakfast was simple. Pool was at a different location, even if it was near by.

Great location with easy access to the beach and close to shops. Rooms were a bit small but clean. I would stay there again.

4/10 Fair

The restaurant partner was horrible. Food terrible, drinks terrible and smelled with bugs all over. Never staying at this place again
steven, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stay was overall uneventful, our AC did not work but they fixed it fast. Great location if you plan on exploring Miami Beach, breakfast was included but okay. Enjoyed the welcome drink however it wasn't available until hours after check in which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. With the price of the hotel I think the resort fee is excessive.

Great location, Great staff
Really cute hotel right on the main walkway/beach. Walkable to all sorts of restaurants and bars. The pool is at the sister property just behind this and was super easy to get to. The rooms were a little tight to open suitcases and we had to take turns but there were four of us in the room. Hotel was quiet at night.
