The hotel offers a stunning view of the beach, which was definitely a highlight. However, the rooms felt a bit too basic for the price I paid, lacking some essentials like a microwave and an iron. While the location is fantastic and close to great dining options, the service could be improved, especially given the high resort fees.

The room had an amazing view of the beach but felt a bit tired and basic given the price. It was clean and came with a nice balcony, but there were some missing amenities, which was disappointing.

I stayed at this hotel, and overall, it had some good points like a fantastic view of South Beach and a convenient location right on the beach. However, the service was a bit lacking, especially given the resort prices I paid, and the rooms seemed outdated. While the amenities were decent, I think a better dining experience would enhance the stay. The mixed experience meant I left with some high points but also noticeable drawbacks.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location that makes getting around Miami super easy, right by the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Despite this, the room had several maintenance issues that made my stay less than ideal. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of quality and variety for breakfast. Overall, while it's a great spot, the maintenance could use some attention.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is fantastic, right in the heart of South Beach and close to everything, I found the rooms to be rather small and a bit disappointing compared to what I expected. The staff was friendly and provided great service, but the dining options for breakfast left much to be desired. Overall, it's a decent stay if you're looking for convenience, but don't expect spacious accommodations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic and the staff was friendly, the room cleanliness and the dining options left a lot to be desired. The rooms didn’t feel ready upon check-in, and I often dealt with noise issues. Plus, the breakfast was lacking in quality and variety. Overall, it has great potential but needs some improvements to enhance guest satisfaction.

I stayed at this hotel recently and while it was in a central location with easy access to shops and restaurants, I did have a few concerns. The rooms were comfortable, but quite small for the number of guests they advertised. The staff was a bit rude at times, but some were incredibly pleasant. The dining options were limited as well, which was disappointing. Overall, I found it to be decent but with room for improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were a bit damp smelling but the beds were truly comfortable, making for a good night's sleep. However, they were incredibly small for three friends sharing a room that was sold as a four-person room.

The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the beach and close to amazing restaurants. While the rooms were clean, they felt a bit cramped with limited space for four people. The staff was mixed; some were friendly and helpful, while others lacked professionalism. It’s a decent value for money considering the location, but I wish there had been more attention to amenities.

The hotel is in a really great location, just a short walk from Lincoln Road and other main attractions. My room had a nice city view, although it felt a bit small. The staff were mostly friendly, especially Abraham, who was beyond helpful. However, I wasn't too thrilled with the dining options—they were just adequate. Overall, it’s a decent place, but there are a few areas that could use improvement to enhance the experience.

The hotel has a great location right by the beach and is very close to many restaurants, which is a major plus. However, my experience with the rooms wasn’t ideal; they were dirty at first and the air conditioning didn’t work. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but there were some service issues that detracted from the stay. The dining options were quite limited and not worth the price, making it hard to enjoy meals during my time there.
