I like this hotel for many reasons. I like the location. There is a free shuttle that pass right in front of the hotel. If you want to go to downtown Miami, this will help. You can also use it to visit around or to go to the train station. There are a few nice restaurants on the same streets. The staff is very nice. I also like the snall fridge and microwave they provide to customers. I will definitely go to this hotel whenever i am in Miami.

The location is great. This property gets a 2 star because there was a flying cockroach in the room. We noticed it 5min after entering the room and the front desk person ridiculously asked if we brought food into the room. We literally stepped into the room and saw. They then strayed the room with roach spray but we requested a different room which they gave us so overall was ok but the presence of the roach and the reaction from the front desk person wasn’t.

Way to expensive for what it is ,$170 per night for a room that has no special amenities. They hand you a regular house key and the door is a normal door anyone can break into. Our room was the only one by the front desk as the front door is always unlocked you will have people outside your room which felt absolutely unsecured.

Very clean, good location, target & Starbucks next to it. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because of the parking. There’s no parking. You have to drive around for a free spot. Meter parking in most streets. Also, thin walls.The shower had very little pressure but the attachment worked great. Coffee maker was very dirty. But it was a very nice hotel.
