Good; Room was cute as described; the view from the balcony was amazing. I got to see the sunrise and sunset. Location was amazing in central to literally everything -free bikes and beach towels were key; beach chairs are also included but they are fold up ones that you carry on your back to the beach.… Which is decent, but I assumed beach chairs/loungers that are part of our resort fee were the ones that are on the beach already. I would personally pay more to have the convenience of not having to lug around a beach chair on a hot humid day when I’m just trying to chill. Staff was nice and helpful. Negatives: we could not hook up to the Wi-Fi the entire time, which would usually be OK cause I’m never on my phone, but it rained the entire weekend so we are kind of stuck inside. The only other thing is that the property online stated that they had a 24 hour gym facility, but when I asked about it, they said it was on we were construction and referred me over to muscle Beach outside and Lumus Park… but the reason I didn’t originally go there is because it was storming outside. Overall, I would stay there again if the price point is lower than the other ones around them on Ocean Drive..but Since there are literally a million little boutique hotels on Ocean Drive I’d probably try a different one next time because typically they are all around the same price.

The hotel was in a perfect location. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly. It is a historic hotel so rooms need some updating The bed was very comfortable and the pool was over a stage allowing us to enjoy the live music. If you are looking to enjoy the Miami vibe this is the place. We had a great time!

We got to the hotel around 0900, asked for an early check in, if possible. Front desk lady said they’re fully booked, but if something comes up, they will let us know. Around 1200, they informed us that they over booked by 18 rooms and we had to change locations. It was 10 blocks away from our friends we wanted to stay near, but all hotels on the strip were booked. They gave us 2 “pent houses” at one of their sister hotels, but they use “pent houses” loosely in Miami. It was a run down hotel, elevator only went to the 4th floor, so we had to carry our 5 suite cases up two flights of stairs. Water was leaking from ceiling with large puddles inside and outside of each room, called maintenance, no change. Needed shower shoes for showers, rusty old, balconies were questionable to stand on. Hotel staff at both locations, amazing. Hotels not so much. Would not recommend!

The staff at the hotel is very professional and available at all timings even overnight.The room was clean and tidy when we checked in.The hotel location is amazingly convenient to all attractions by bus/uber.Room service was always available whenever we needed it(tried that during the day).Coffee inside in the room is very delicious and we got refills during our stay.Always provided us with clean towels for beach.Pool is not big,not a huge plus for the hotel if you are specifically looking for pool experience.A lot of supermarkets nearby.If you cannot tolerate noise from music you might need to reconsider your stay but would say expect that at all hotels nearby given location in vibrant street in south beach not because of this hotel in particular, it depends on the type of vacation you are trying to have quiet vs fun.Personally we enjoyed out stay there.

Terrible ! We booked & paid a junior suite with balcony through Expedia But was assigned to a one bed standard room with damp smells and very noisy, heard bass loudly all night until 3:30am. One lady and one guy front desk people were very rude. They preferred to provide room to the guest which was not booked from Expedia.

No sleep hotel

Our room faced another hotel across 10th St. they play music from 11 AM to 3:30 AM so loud you cannot sleep at night even with headphones. When I asked to move to a different room, I was told they all are about just as loud. I also asked for earplugs which they did not have. My question is if it’s so loud all the time why not put it in your listing so people know. We love to party, but when it’s time to go to bed, I would like to have some peace and quiet. The room was OK except for the bed was so hard. It was very uncomfortable. They really need to change their mattresses out.
