Great location but expect it to be noisy outside all night until the early hours due to this location.

Bed was a bit hard. $35 resort fee for water & 2 beach seats we never used seems a bit off. There should be a choice to pay or not to pay for that service.

The location is perfect. Right across from the beach lots to do.

I love the location, but the property needs some TLC especially those carpets. They must be 30 years old. The rooms are fresh. You just need to freshen it up.

Great location in an iconic neighbourhood.

Due to the location it was pretty noisey at night.

The location was great.

The bathroom wasn't clean, the room had an odor upon arrival, sheets stained, the few pieces of furniture was dirty, definitely wouldn't return. Room was SMALL.

The location is absolutely unbeatable if you’re looking to be in a great spot on south beach surrounded by shops and restaurants. Beds are comfortable and rooms are decently quiet, but the restaurant out front does operate until midnight so expect a little noise if you’re at the front of the hotel. We were only the second room back in the hall and we very rarely heard restaurant noise other than the blender. The hotel staff is really nice and very accommodating. The location of the beach chairs that are included in your stay is really nice, too. Overall it’s a great stay in south beach.

The price for the room is way too high for what it is. I’m assuming you’re paying for location, but the rooms are bare bones and the cleaning is questionable. There is no comforter, only three sheets on the bed, so we totally froze the first night but figured out the thermostat the second day and were comfortable the rest of our stay. The drinks at the bar are absolutely outrageously priced, we spent $60 on a margarita and a mojito. Parking is horrible, but the valet is really convenient with unlimited in/out access, albeit pricey at $50/day. The closest parking garage is 2 blocks away and $30 PER entry (so if you park at 10am, leave, and come back at 4pm, you’re at $60 already).

Modern look to original art deco. The shower was the best ever! Valet parking was easy. Would stay again!!

No criticism.

Accommodations staff and amazing location with a simply very good restaurant especially with the hotel 30% discount.

Nothing .but if you are used to chain hotels like Hilton Marriott etc this isn't that...it is Art Deco boutiquey with a tiny elevator from the 1930s.

Friendly staff. Easy check in process online. Sunbeds on the beach were included in our stay. The hotel was a walkable distance from everything we wanted to see and do. Rooms were spacious and quiet. Coffee & Tea were also available.

Fantastic location in South Beach - close to restaurants, bars and Lummus Park Muscle Beach as well as the ocean. Helpful front desk staff. Clean rooms.

Hallways were shabby and guest rooms were small (but clean). The heating/air conditioning was wonky but staff did their best to make us comfortable
