    It was dark in the room, there is not enough light. The soundproofing isn’t so good either.

    The room was clean, stylish and spacious. The staff was friendly and ready to help 24h. The pool was small but we like it. The location was perfect.

    Nothing

    We were greeted by William who instantly made us feel at home. He was very pleasant and helpful and gave us a thorough overview of what our booking entailed including the use of push bikes and beach loungers and an umbrella . The location is perfect… right beside the action but just far enough away to be quiet

    The staff at the reception desk was often very busy, so it took some time to give the towels back and also to ask some additional questions regarding our stay.

    Room was spacious and very clean. Beach chairs were included in the stay which was a nice add-on. Welcome drink was refreshing and bar staff very friendly.

    This was a wonderful experience and have no complaints! William at the front desk, went above and beyond to accommodate us with our room before and after a cruise. He gave recommendations for dining, which we didn’t use, but was very personable and wanted to ensure we had a great time and experience! The rooms were clean and comfy, and the water was nice and hot in the shower. The hotel coffee was good, as well as the breakfast and dessert, and enjoying the courtyard and nice front patio dining space. But the location, is perfect, 2 min walk from the beach, towels and chairs and umbrellas provided, and on the quiet end of Southbeach, so no loud noise or parties, but a 5 min walk to more of a party scene if you are into it, which we are not! But overall, a great experience, and would definitely stay here again if we book our next cruise out of Miami!

    The smell on the elevator was horrific and inside the room is tight and dark. The view was not good, so we were unable to open the curtains to allow light in.

    Location on the strip was great. The room was clean and the bathroom was very modern. Enjoyed free beach towel chair and umbrella and complimentary drink was fantabulous!!!!

    No elevator to the 2f/mezzanine so you have to lift all the luggage by urself. Bathroom sink is too small.

    The kids can’t like the bunk beds more. Very close to the beach.

    The rooms in the new portion of the hotel were not very soundproof and it was possible to hear conversations in the courtyard. The older portion of the room was quieter and the stafff was great to relocate us. The mattress was also compressed and was not comfortable for my wife.

    The property is in a great location and nice design. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the property was very clean. The amenities were good but we did not fully take advantage of everything.

    There is no sound isolation in the room which made it a bit noisy sometimes.

    The king size room was good for 1 person and should easily suit couples as well. The overall condition and decoration of the hotel is nice and feels homey. The water filling station is great. Elise is a wonderful receptionist she helped me to have a quick and smooth check in and out experience. The location of the hotel is excellent and very close the South Beach.

    The elevator broke down during our visit

    The hotel located in a quieter side of south beach so great location for those who doesn’t like parties. Super close to the beach. Arrived at 11am and they still let us do early check-in (thank you Navi). All the staffs were very friendly and super nice. Highly recommended!!
