Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly praised the hotel's prime location, especially its proximity to the beach, Ocean Drive, and local attractions. Many appreciated the comfortable beds and some highlighted helpful staff and welcome drinks. However, several reviews noted disappointment with the breakfast, which was sometimes not included or served in a different building, and issues with the pool being offsite or not as described. Service received mixed feedback, and a few guests mentioned noise and maintenance issues. Overall, the location stands out as the hotel's strongest asset.

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.
