This was literally the worst place we have ever stayed. The hotel is ok, not as clean as it could be and the shower did not drain at all, the tv didn’t work. But the biggest issue is that it sits right in the middle of 3 or 4 nightclubs. So if you don’t want to sleep until about 4 in the morning, this may be the place for you. But if you do, we are not talking about a little noise. It is like you are in the nightclub. We couldn’t even talk to each other half of the time. Plus, I pad for an ocean front hotel. Definately not oceanfront, there is a major street between the hotel and the entrance to the beach. They claim that they have beach chairs and that is what your resort fee goes for. Well they give a lawn chair and you have to carry it over to the beach. And remember it is crossing a street and probably 300 yards to the entrance of the beach. My biggest tub is that the price that I paid was in line with some very nice hotels and this was not. There also was sketchy people just hanging out in front. Never going back.

We didn’t realize our room was in a different building…..to get to our room we had to walk through a bar then an ice cream shop the an elevator to our room. Immediately after getting off the elevator we felt unsafe. Upon arrival into our room the bathroom ceiling was leaking, there was water all over the floor of the bathroom. We were offered a different room and a voucher for breakfast. The front desk was not polite or accommodating. We would not recommend this hotel or stay here again unfortunately:(

Do not stay here if you want to sleep

Noise from the bar outside was excruciating until the early hours - the room actually vibrated. On the second night I asked what time the music would stop that night. The staff both laughed at me and said 'it's South Beach'. I travel professionally for a living for 20 years and I have never experienced noise like that. Not acceptable. Check in was chaotic. Took almost 20 mins to find our booking with minimal initiative then 6 separate credit charges for 2 rooms (took us ages to work out what they were all for). Asked for adjacent rooms as we were travelling with children. Got upstairs to find they were not near each other at all. No recycling. A coffee machine - great - but no milk/sugar/teabags/spoons. Carpet stank of pee, rooms pretty basic and damp. Wall sockets sparse (only one side of the bed). Shower wasn't hot, glass bathroom door has a large gap when 'closed'. Pool way smaller than photos. I really would avoid this hotel, particularly with kids.

I was very irritated to keep going downstairs for a key. Also the ice machine was broke.

I loved the fun location. Staff was the best. Super nice and helpful. Rooms were ok but I was not in room that much. Perfect area to be in the mix of all the fun. A little loud at night on the weekends, if you think you want to go to sleep early. Overall I had a great time and felt safe as a solo traveler.

Not horrible

We stayed in the building behind the location. The room was nice, you could hear the bar across the street but it wasn’t too loud and we were able to sleep through it. The key cards are extremely sensitive to deactivation. I had to go to the front lest multiple times to have them reactivated. I had to walk through an ice cream shop, 2 bars and a restaurant to do this because of the location of our room. The front desk staff were super friendly and didn’t seem to mind me having to do this daily. It’s a very good location to be close to action, restaurants etc. We had to ask for towels and trash pickup in the room but they were very nice and did assist. I didn enjoy the large bathroom and shower. A microwave would have been nice to have in the larger room.
