I had a wonderful stay at The Penguin Hotel in Miami Beach. The location was perfect, right across from the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and shops on Ocean Drive. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the convenience of being so close to the ocean. Everything was well maintained, and the service made me feel welcome. I would definitely stay here again and recommend The Penguin Hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Miami Beach.

amazing location, great staff and lovely room. I would definitely stay there again. Only reason I don’t give it all 5s is breakfast and pool are at sister hotel which is slightly inconvenient (or maybe I’m just too picky; it was just down the side of the building to the adjacent hotel).
Hotel location is absolutely perfect.
Pride parade happening just as we arrived.
