This place is a dump of a hotel in a great location. The owner should be ashamed at the neglect. As i stood at the front desk, after checking into a room with a terrible leak in the ceiling, trying to get a non flooded, non moldy room,.... there we 6 other people/ rooms there with problems that ranged from wet mattresses to tvs that didn't work.... which we found out there was no cable connection for the whole hotel. The rooms are neglected, the staff illprepared and under trained...do not stay here!
Painted over ceiling sprinkler
Black mold around bathroom sink
Another painted over ceiling sprinkler....almost looked like it was spackled. How do they pass fire inspections?

There was no bedding available in the room or at the front desk for both rooms 2nd bed. We talked to the person at the front desk and after more than 2 hours we had no bedding as rrquested. Both mattress's from the foldout couches were badly worn. One rooms glass showere door hing had come away from the wall and was not usable. And noise from the band underneeth us was going to be an issue. It was $300 a night and at any price was not worth it.

There’s a lot to review here. Just stayed 6 nights during new years week. We weren’t quite in the”main hotel”. We needed to walk through the adjacent restaurant/bar, behind where employees hang out and smoke, through a door that after hours you need a key for, through the gelato store that emanates a pastry smell throughout the rest of the hotel. We then enter a small elevator that had no lights for the first two nights. We chose to walk the 2 flights when we didn’t have luggage. Very few English speaking people. Tried to call housekeeping a few times for various necessities and it was consistently busy. The way to get any support was to make the trek to the front desk down and around each time. The key stopped working two times. The included breakfast is a few hotels down. The included beach “chairs” are a joke. The said they had only 10 of them. We were happy we got them but then realized on the beach after we schleped them that we shouldn’t have. They were regular foldable sitting chairs. Not lounge chairs and heavy, no “backpack” -terrible. I wound up paying $80 on the beach for two lounge chairs for the day. This has nothing to do with the hotel, but the closest parking garage that’s open 24 hours, is shady AF. Was able to park there two times but had to pay cash even tho signs say no cash.we didn’t receive a barcode ticket when ready to leave so had to wait for someone to come and I was worried they’d ask for money which they didn’t but still weird. I would not stay

Our room was very spacious & had an amazing view & vantage point of Ocean Drive. The ocean is also visible in the distance. The hotel is situated right in the middle of everything with convenient access to ample dining opportunities and nightlife. The beach is a short walk. The hotel offers free beach chairs & beach cruiser bike rentals (for up to an hour.) There's an on-site bar and restaurant, which we really enjoyed. The pool is narrow, but we enjoyed having this amenity as well. Overall, we had a great experience & we very pleased with the accommodations, location & amenities. Thank you.

Horrible experience. The lock did not work resulting in a male staff member walking in to my room while I was naked. There was also a constant beeping sound and other noises that made it difficult to sleep. The room was damp and had multiple spiders. Our room was also next to the public toilets. It’s a good location.

The front desk was not very knowledgeable or accommodating with the exception of the gentleman on the morning of my checkout. The room had several issues from the toilet running over to the shower hardware falling off the wall and not to mention the couple of bugs in the bedroom and bathroom sink area. I was disappointed. There first rude encounter was with the valet parking. When my family member pulled up we were attempting to inquire regarding where to unload and leave the vehicle but was approached by a valet guy with such a rude attitude/tone and he walked away after saying you can't leave it here so we walked inside the hotel for valet parking information. I was glad my stay was for only on night.

All was great! Only concern was wanting to report the toilet paper holder was loose from wall & the balcony door lock seemed broken. Not major concerns, except for the concern of possibly my accidental deposit being charged for these items. Attempted to contact front desk by phone with no answer. Our arrival was 11pm New Years Eve…have some understanding of the crowds & distractions downstairs. Really really liked the lodging and the location. It gave us the NYE experience we wanted.
