Hotel is a bit outdated, but the location is good. The staff is very friendly.
Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was clean, spacious and perfect for our stay with a toddler. Location is right in the middle of south beach and only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Definitely recommend
Room very clean a wonderful experience will be coming back

Great location, old building. Things we most noted about the actual hotel: you can’t control the AC temperature in rooms or open any windows. The rooms and lobby have very strong smells (not good). The hotel itself is a pretty old building, so doesn’t feel super updated. Not bad for the price, but probably would stay somewhere else if we go back to South Beach.
Very good location for us since relatively quiet location one block off Collins Ave. It is 10-20 minute walk to nearby parks and venues like Botanical Gardens, Collins Park and 2 blocks from the beach. Our king bed suite very roomy and comfortable with sofa, dining table and chairs and kitchenette. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Would stay again.
The courtyard area was really nice, I had the balcony room and it was spacious. The pools were freezing cold! Hotel was in walking distance to alot of eatery and shops.

Property itself was clean. The staff were professional, however there is no customer service telephone number that works. If you need anything you have to leave your room and walk downstairs. The bed was old and uncomfortable and walls are super thin, the person above me was walking around all hours of the night and it kept me awake because it was so loud. If you’re a light sleeper not the place for you. Food nearby is excellent and only a 3-5 min walk to the beach. Don’t get a car unless you need it, parking is additional and the lots are sketchy due to the neighborhood. There’s an area a few paces outside the hotel where a lot of loitering happens.
Front desk associate was very helpful! My room is cute and I love the balcony!! The hotel is in a quiet area, off the main street but still close to everything.
