Fantastic location in the heart of South Beach’s vibrant art deco district and the staff members are very helpful and friendly. Note: request a room in the MAIN hotel building not in the annex for a quieter nights as annex sits between two bars with late night partying. Just cross the street to enjoy the boardwalk and very clean beach, soft white sand beach and there is a police beach patrol station there too. Wonderful restaurant and bars at the hotel itself and next door are fun bars (The Clevelander, Mango Cafe) and restaurants for every taste. Wander a couple blocks (easy, quick walk) to main shopping area.

We will definitely stay here again. The location is wonderful! The Cuban restaurant on property is very good. For an older hotel the rooms were good sized. There were 2 sets of windows (older outer windows and newer inner doors) which helped the hotel be quiet at night, even though it was spring break. The staff was also very good.

Great hotel if you want to be right on the beach in the thick of it. Glad I had an interior room that kept the street/restaurant noise bearable. Shower was lovely, water pressure was like a car wash! Rooms renovated and comfortable.

For the price point over all the property is okay. You are at close proximity to the beach and it has a small pool to cool off. The room was clean but it has seen better days. Air condition works great and cleaning staff did a great job of coming for the two night stay.

PROS: Great location!! Close to restaurants, shopping, bars, the beach!! The staff was amazing!! Lots of extras and discounts. Restaurant and bar right down stairs. Room was nice. Spacious shower and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were fabulous. CONS: Could use some TLC. Musty smell, loose floor tiles, room felt “wet”, stained comforter and hand towels. Overall it wasn’t bad. It was clean (aside from the stains), no bugs, good enough for a place to sleep for one night.
