Wonderful hotel just off the beach, with a large and cool reception. and fresh cold water available which is welcome on returning to the hotel in the temperatures. Rooms are large although the bed was strangely quite small, and room was quiet. Pool is small but a great ambience with a bar and quiet music, super service and you can see the sea from the pool. I used the gym which was also cool and adequate for a quick workout. Great service from David, Domingo and Sandra, Good breakfast in the lovely garden area. We also used the free access to the Wynwood Walls gallery in Miami proper. It all felt very safe in the area which is a plus.

Some of the other staff were a little grumpy to say the least. Some might be bothered by the slow elevator which was out of action at least twice in our stay although we were happy to use the stairs.

The location was excellent and being just one street off of ocean drive on Collins ave the hotel was much quieter at night than other hotels I have stayed in the area. The hotel is a little older, but has been thought fully updated. It is close to many shops, restaurants, beach etc. Staff was pleasant and accommodating and provided some recommendations for food in the area. Beach chairs and towels included was a really nice bonus. Pool area was nice but we spent most of our time on the beach. Good value for price!

Elevator was slow and took you for a ride to some random floors on the way up/down (take the stairs if you are able, there are some cool old photos in the stairway). Rooms were sufficient but on the smaller size, however they did have good storage options built in.

Great little hotel! We stayed in a suite which was sizable and had modern appliances. The roof top pool area was awesome! Everything is on our doorstep! The complimentary fruit basket was an unexpected treat. Couldn't fault anything!

Consider this is a lively neighborhood and can be noisy for some. Staying on the Collins Av side is quieter.

Everything! We were really pleased with the Premium Suite room and all the space we had. I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about that specific room. Everyone on the staff was so friendly & welcoming. The facilities were fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay & highly recommend.

We would have preferred to stay in the main building on Collins Ave. Staying on Ocean Drive & having to walk around the building to get to all the facilities was a minor inconvenience, but we were prepared for this. Another minor issue was that the ice machine was broken our entire stay. We could have called for someone to bring us ice but felt that was a bit ridiculous to do every single day. It would also be helpful to add an ice machine to the Ocean Drive building.

Great stay in one of the family rooms at the Hotel (we were in the second bit facing the beach but first is the next building over so close by). Very spacious two room set up with three beds and with bathroom - really recommended. Well equipped with bar fridge, safe, decent furnishings and quiet despite being right on the main beach and centre of the lively South Beach vibes. Pool great and staff at hotel helpful particularly concierge who was warm and friendly. News Cafe downstairs was great food albeit pricey (as you would expect right on the beach). Perfect for South Beach experience with family.

Bathroom could have been cleaned a lot better. Room faced the alley (but having said that - meant it was quiet at night too)!

Amazing location and staff!

Too many people took the pool chairs all day so no place to enjoy swimming and lounging.

Location and pool. The service was excellent.

The pool closes too early. As guests, we should be able to eat our own breakfast next to the pool in the sun. Unfortunately, no outside food or drinks are permitted. In a restaurant, this rule is reasonable but not for the guests of your hotel. Breakfast is not included and the price is high. No parking is included. They charge $28 a day for parking in a public lot (no limit on daily in and out) 1 block away. If you don´t need to go in and out of the parking more than once a day--you can park in the same lot for only $20 a day.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have a nice pool on the roof of the hotel with a rooftop bar. The gym is compared to what you normally find in hotels also okay. Serves its purpose. The location is great. Close to the beach, muscle beach and many restaurants nearby. The concierge gave us recommendations and we were not disappointed. The lobby is very nice and decorated in Art-Deco style. They offer beach chairs and towels provided by one of the rentals at the beach. That’s good service because it saves you 40 Dollars. Our room was not in the part of the building which located at Collins Avenue. Our room was in the building corner 8th and Ocean Drive. This was no problem in our case, we stayed from Sunday-Friday. This means it was not too noisy from the clubs and restaurants on Ocean Drive. On weekends this might be different. I am quite sure you can hear the music from the surrounding entertainment places. This should be considered when booking.

Since we didn’t stay on a Friday or Saturday night, no complaints. The above mentioned point about the location of the room might have lead to problems on a Party-weekend. For those who just want to have a look at Ocean Drive and Not Party all night long, I recommend to stay in a hotel further north on the beach.

Lovely pool with a view. Great cocktails

It was great ! Gréât location gréât pool ! Good service
