The room was clean and it was spacious ( had a Jr Deluxe suite). The staff was nice. We did not like the fact that we had to walk a ways through the restaurant and through the gelato place to get to the elevator to get to the room. Kit a game-changer, but not convenient. It’s also not ideal that the free breakfast is for Cafe Americano at its sister hotel , Hotel Victor. It’s 3 blocks away. Also, no gym is not great a well.

Hotel was very noisy upon checking in due to louse live music. Staff’s response was that we should have done our research and brought ear plugs. Room smelled and was missing table chair and bedding and towels. Bedding was provided after reminding twice and towels never came. Phone was working also. Cafe for breakfast is not on site and 5-10 minutes walk. Would not recommend and return to this hotel.

The room was very clean and housekeeping was responsive. There is loud music all day and night (Cuban restaurant) we didn't mind but some might, it is Miami after all! The pool was very small like VERY and not many seating options. The beach chairs they let you use are Walmart type beach chairs - very heavy but not comfortable- and you have to carry them a decent distance to the beach (across a park type area and then the beach itself is wide). We only used them once and not again. You can rent chairs on the beach for a decent price we did that instead. Breakfast was a block away and very good. Would stay here again.

Great hotel! Lilly the front desk manager was very warm and friendly. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Can’t beat this place for the price! Right in the heart of South Beach so close to everything. The bellhop whose name I can’t remember was also very kind and helpful. I will certainly stay again!
