Getting into the hotel was a little confusing because they have 2 buidings on the same street and across from eachother. Luckily, a guy who was entering into the building that I was trying to get into told me to go across the street. There was another couple who was also confused so it all worked out. Checking in was stressful because I was on the plane when it was communicated to me that the property does not accept AMEX. Luckily my partner jumped in to save the day. I had been calling the hotel all week but they did not answer their phone. Another nuisance was that I was not provided with my breakfast vouchers upon check in. I checked in at around 10pm so I was told I had to wake up at 7:30 am to get my vouchers. The room was ok...it was not stocked so all we had was a fridge & we did not have a phone so I had to roam to make local calls. Other than that it was a lovely stay. There were many food options and the beach was relatively close by. You could walk or jump on free tram to get there. The hotel had a nice roof top pool with loungers which was nice. We had a balcony facing the main street & the hotel had a daily free happy hour where we could get a free drink. I would definitely return again. Overall Id rate my experience an 8/10.

Waited behind one person in line for about 15 minutes. Another person came up and jumped the line while i was waiting. Was given my room keys and a map, only for the desk person to stop me as i was walking away to tell me that because i have a child with me, they needed to change my room. Gave me keys to a different room. Got to the room and the keys didn’t work.

Regarding the room, it’s totally different from the pictures as they provide on the website. Like we can watch TV because it’s on the wall when sun always on screen and the couch not in front of the TV. It’s on site which is not comfortable to watch and there is a lot of important things like toilet flush remote control for the TV and other things which is not working and also a lot of things was broken the stuff can’t understand when we try to explained, like for example, we’re trying to tell them to bring a sign which we can’t put on door for not distribute they keep coming inside while we’re sleeping we can’t call front desk because there is no phone in the room and also when we’re going downstairs there is never ever you can find the person on the front desk. Like couple times our keys is not working not opening the door and we have to go another building which is across of the street. To get some help .It was very bad experience we have I cannot understand the people who gave them 4 stars

Very good location for us since relatively quiet location one block off Collins Ave. It is 10-20 minute walk to nearby parks and venues like Botanical Gardens, Collins Park and 2 blocks from the beach. Our king bed suite very roomy and comfortable with sofa, dining table and chairs and kitchenette. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Would stay again.

We booked a double queen room with the intention of using the pull out sofa for an additional guest. Upon checking in, we were told that our room was in the building across the street. All of the hallways were musty. The elevator fit three people and it was very rickety. Once we entered the room we saw that it had not been improved upon in decades. When we pulled out the sofa bed we noticed that it was broken. When we used the shower water came up from the floorboards into the bedroom, and there were also large hair balls around the room. The first morning we were there I went down and spoke to someone who seemed like a manager. I told her all these things and asked if someone could come up to the room to check them, she wrote them all down on a Post-it note and walked away. Needless to say no one had come up to the room our entire stay to check on or fix these issues. There was also no offer to move us to another room. The pool needs to be cleaned and there is no one working either of the bars that I saw. The last morning we awoke to rain coming in through the windows and spilling all over the windowsills and floor. At checkout I told the front desk about this and they did not seem concerned at all and just said they would send someone to go look at it. I’ve seen many reviews for this hotel, and when anything negative is said the hotel responds that they will fix it and do better, but needless to say I don’t see that happening. I advise you to choose another hotel.

My room was across the street from an outdoor bar and restaurant that closed at 5 am. Glad I brought ear plugs. When I checked out of the hotel, a day early, the manager was yelling at his staff in the lobby. The poor woman behind the desk was paralyzed into inaction as the boss was such a jerk. Blaming her for his mismanagement. It was apparent that he blamed staff. As an ex-CEO, I blame him and the hotel. There is no coffee in the room. And they do not make coffee in the lobby until 8 am. I will not stay here again.
