The lobby is gorgeous - very hip and "South Beach"-like. However, it's entirely a mask as to the quality of the rooms, hallways, and rest of the hotel. The time and money invested in the lobby area should have been invested in the most important aspect of a good hotel - the rooms. The linens were stained, the air conditioner did not work in one room (forcing us to move to another room), the mattress was old, stiff, and uncomfortable, the rooms are small, the carpets are extremely old, dirty-looking, and stained, and the bathrooms need an overhaul. Overall, we felt very "dirty" throughout the entire stay.
