Terrific property and service for any occasion.

Checked in alone as I was extending a business trip in Miami and had never been. General Manager checks you in personally and gives you tour of amazing property. Cottage/Condo type room with large living room and kitchen for entertaining and spacious master bedroom. Absolutely wonderful grounds behind main hotel with pools and terrific landscaping. Location is absolutely perfect. Close to all the action but far enough away so you don't hear it and can enjoy this oasis when you want some quite time.

Beautiful grounds. Friendly and personable staff. Stayed in the eyebrow suite. Bed was comfortable and there was good water pressure in the shower. The tub however runs out of hot water at less than half full. It is a block from the fire station but we didn’t have any firetrucks interrupting our sleep the 2 nights of our stay. Very convenient location for walking around town.

Despite claiming to be dog-friendly, it is not

This place boasts a beautiful setting, but unfortunately, the front desk staff wasn't very welcoming. Despite advertising themselves as pet-friendly, they made us feel like our dog was an inconvenience. The biggest issue was their restrictive pet policy: we couldn't leave our dog unattended in the room at all times, and weren't allowed on the grounds with him. This essentially trapped us in our room for the entire stay! We even had to rely on Uber Eats for meals because we couldn't leave our dog alone.

Pros - walking distance to many restaurants, bars and excursions. Staff were helpful and kind. Gardens made a nice escape as there were several animals hiding in and under the canopy. The bar was a mellow place to relax and/or grab a glass of wine and hang out in the courtyard. Breakfast was different each day, which made for a lovely surprise in the morning. Lucy was a wonderful distraction and added to the stay. Having a kitty around is quite calming. Cons - we stayed in Room 1, which was at the top of the main buildings stairs. Which is also over the office; over the music (live daily and also played over speakers under the deck of Room 1); over the kitchen and surrounded by the two morning roosters who took turns starting at 3:30. Needless to say there was little quiet and you might want to ask for a room in a different part of the establishment if you are looking for peace and quiet. The only other issue I had was there should be two folks serving/cleaning at breakfast as most days the coffee was empty and tables were dirty.
