Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location, close to the beach, Ocean Drive, and local attractions. However, many were disappointed that the pool was not on-site and instead located at a sister property, which was inconvenient for some. Service received mixed feedback, with some guests appreciating the staff while others reported issues with responsiveness and housekeeping. Cleanliness was also a concern for several guests, particularly regarding room and window cleanliness. Overall, the location was the standout positive aspect, while pool access, service, and cleanliness were common areas of dissatisfaction.

Pros (+) Unimpressive room and facilities but great location
6.8
Okay
Anonymous, Dec 2017
Pros (+) The staff were very welcoming and helped to make for a comfortable stay. The hotel is not boutique - though offers clean space with a certain charm.
Cons (-) The door to our room was not fire safe. It had significant gaps and would not have provided 10, let alone 30 minute protection. They should open the rooftop deck/terrace to all guests, rather than solely the top suite. They’d make it a better hotel experience for all their guests. If one were inclined for room with private terrace, you would choose a nicer hotel.

Anonymous, Aug 2017
Pros (+) Very clean bathroom, comfortable bed, quiet amongst the craziness of South beach, friendly staff. Small room was not an issue as we only used the hotel for getting dressed and sleeping during our 2 night stay.
Cons (-) Not much storage/desk space.
