Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was nice and comfortable. The AC worked great. But the WiFi service is abysmal. No way to work there. Super slow speeds and the television would not work with any platform like Netflix. Very disappointing that in 2024, there’s no good WiFi service. The elevator needs work desperately. The staff was very nice and the place was clean.

Nice welcome cocktail. Hearty complimentary breakfast. Rooms need some repairs and water pressure could be stronger. Location is excellent. Across the street from the beach.

For being right in the middle of all the action at South Beach - this hotel for the price does the job well. The staff is very nice. The rooms are adequate. Access to the beach is great. Penguin provides beach towels. Chairs and umbrellas on beach can be rented for the day. Pool is small and across a back alley and shared with another hotel. Breakfast is provided across the same back alley at the President hotel (we dined elsewhere but other people seemed to enjoy it.) Starbucks is across the street. The Betsy hotel which is very very nice is a few doors down so we ate there as well. While the Penguin is “smoke free” be prepared that other guests will smoke anyway, and you really have no recourse. That was the worst part of our stay. Had other guests not been smoking inside of the hotel in their rooms and outside on the porch I would not have any complaints for the price we paid. Side note: the Miami police presence in South Beach made us feel much safer.

Right on Ocean Dr. by the beach! Two blocks from the Versace Villa! Away from the loudest Ocean Dr. part. Walking distance to Lincoln Rd. shopping area. The hotel has a perfect location but NO PARKING though. Valet parking available (expensive) around the corner in front of another hotel. Suggestion: don’t rent a car- get Uber, if needed. Everything is walking distance and you DONT need a car. NO SWIMMING POOL here. A very small swimming pool is in another hotel’s rooftop, which you will be allowed to use. Overall a bit rundown but very clean.

Very helpful and approachable staff, we felt welcome, water in room and access to pool at neighbouring hotel. Free drink included however we don’t drink. Beaches are a very short walk away. Multiple food options, from casual to fancy, and take out options. Free breakfast. Overall great atmosphere. Will come again. :-)

no parking lot in the building. You have to walk two streets in order to park your car. Plus you have to carry all your luggage if you want to get it to the hotel.
