This property is old. Could be better maintained, I can see staff working on it, but the carpet needs to go and it needs some upkeep in the common areas. Service staff in the dining room were nice and polite. The front desk night staff, was not. You will be hard pressed to find 2 more surly and unfriendly front desk employees anywhere. No smile, no hello, nothing to show that they are happy to have you stay there. Positive is that the hotel (it's probably closer to being a motel) is close to a shopping mall and if you have a car there are many amenities nearby. Its a 30-45 min drive to south beach, but that's reflected in the price point.
