Pros (+) Liked that it was on the beach. And the bath and body works soap
Cons (-) Front desk could have been friendlier. And the price for parking was pretty high. Even for a week day shouldn't be same cost as the busy weekend

Pros (+) Outdoor tiki bar—staff friendly, drinks decent, food good. Nice breeze from the beach. Room was clean
Cons (-) Room looked out over the parking lot, a/c in lobby and restaurant quit working as we were ready to be seated for dinner, appetizer (cheese nachos) terribly dry and tasteless—waitress didn’t know what to say or do. Staff not personable at all. Water pressure in room 267 very low. Pool was over crowded. No bar tender present in the inside bar Saturday night—we all had to wait a good 15 min, and then...

Pros (+) The location is good... it’s right on the beach, and walking distance to some nice local bars and restaurants
Cons (-) The hotel is older and it shows. I had booked my room online, and didn’t select any specific room type. The room I got was interior, but when I walked in it was horribly muggy in the room and smelled musty/moldy. The windows don’t open, so there’s no airing it out. I went back to the front desk and told the guy working there... he didn’t so much as apologize, much less offer a solution, so I sugge...

Pros (+) I loved everything!!! You walk out of the hotel and you're on the beach! The beach bar (Flipper's) had some great drinks, and featured live music too! The kitchen also had an amazing menu (we ordered coconut shrimp, chicken quesadillas, and fish tacos-all delicious)!!! The rooms are spacious, with a small fridge, microwave, and cabinet storage. Some rooms have a balcony so you can step out and sme...
Cons (-) The only downfall, and it's a very minor one, was the water pressure in the room could have been a bit stronger! That's it!

Pros (+) Friendly staff, clean, great view on the beach, amazing sunsets, good food and beach bar. Convenient to other beachfront restaurants/bars also. We always look forward to coming here!
Cons (-) The barstools at Flippers are pretty wobbly and uncomfortable and we'd be more prone to hang out longer if there were live music more often...but the view is unbeatable and Amanda makes great Miami Vices and Bloody Marys!

Pros (+) The staff were amazing. That's the only positive.
Cons (-) Overall, the amount of money I spent for a 2 night stay had me feeling ripped off. The place is tired & dated. Not worth it.
