6/10 Good

Inattentive service and roach in room.

Restaurant service was terrible. Food was good, when server did come over was very polite and well spoken but it took forever to get noticed, forever to get food and ran out of water multiple times without checking if we needed refills. Roach in bathroom.

Nice location, staff and rooms

Nice hotel, great location, staff and rooms Let down by blocked toilet 3 times (we were only there 2 nights). and very noisy construction work in the middle of the day which should have been warned about.

A Lovely Piece of History in a Very Sweet Hotel

The staff at the front desk were just lovely. I could tell that they were always looking to make sure that we had what we needed and and were available to us at any time. I was really surprised by the restaurant the food was lovely it was a beautiful breakfast/brunch. I would definitely come back and stay in this hotel again.

Good location. Both Room and bathroom are very small.
WEI, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is just what you would expect for this area, the room was small but as are most rooms on this area. We really liked how quiet it was yet close to all the action and the walk to the beach was so easy and great amenities to have two chairs and an umbrella included in the room rental. Staff was so kind!
April, 2-night trip

Thank you Bruno

Frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was amazing, property was clean, restaurant was delicious, loved the extra amenities included, such as beach chairs/umbrellas and bicycles to ride around Miami Beach.
Alison, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is just ok. The good things are that the room is quiet, it's a block to the beach, and in a great neighborhood. The bad part is that the room was an old, concrete box. Small, cramped and claustrophobic. Luckily, we had beautiful weather and so only had to be in the room to sleep.
Mary, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were exceptional and very attentive
Carol, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel location was perfect. Checkin was quick. Room was clean and bathroom well appointed. Coffee machine was awesome. We really liked the ability to use chaises and umbrella at the beach. The amenities were supposed to include a cocktail… instead we got a 3oz pour of cheap Prosecco.
vincent, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They charge an exorbitant resort fee and calling this a “resort” is a huge stretch of the imagination. This is basically a Motel 6 on South Beach.
Adam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Poor customer service and dishonest with room

The door was broken and we were not informed of it prior to our arrival. They delayed our check in process trying to fix it but never did
