The property is just what you would expect for this area, the room was small but as are most rooms on this area. We really liked how quiet it was yet close to all the action and the walk to the beach was so easy and great amenities to have two chairs and an umbrella included in the room rental. Staff was so kind!

This hotel is just ok. The good things are that the room is quiet, it's a block to the beach, and in a great neighborhood. The bad part is that the room was an old, concrete box. Small, cramped and claustrophobic. Luckily, we had beautiful weather and so only had to be in the room to sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is marvellous, rooms are ok. However, I have found (only when I checked in) the there is a "resort fee" of $35 plus tax per night that too me felt like a rip off as they claim it includes things such as WiF, fruit in the lobby (never found a fruit in 3 days), water stations in the lobby, beach towels, plus rather useless things such as free tour of the hotel, etc. Frankly I would have preferred that these "amenities" were included in the room cost ... I find it an irritating to use such a trick to keep apparent room cost lower.

I am very happy with our stay. This hotel has plenty of perks like a bar/restaurant, Very close access to the beach, umbrella and chairs on the beach (with the resort fee), beach towels, and water in the lobby. We didn’t use the pool but it was a little smaller than I expected. The rooftop patio was nice at night. The front desk was very nice and helpful. Only cons we had was the elevator was very small, luckily the steps were conveniently located right beside the elevator and easy to take to get to your floor. The blinds in our room didn’t really work but we figured it out. The bathroom was a little small but our king bedroom was actually larger than i thought. I would stay here again! It was definitely a more quiet part of the beach but a quick walk to the more icon parts of ocean drive.

They charge an exorbitant resort fee and calling this a “resort” is a huge stretch of the imagination. This is basically a Motel 6 on South Beach.

Location was great. Short walk on Ocean Drive to cool bars, restaurants and shopping. A classic Miami Beach vibe. The hotel itself is quite dated and in need of a refurbishment. The carpets are stained and the lobby/check-in seems random and sparse. Seemed like a card table with a laptop on it. The room is small, but reasonably clean. The lighting is confusing and inadequate. No safe. The bathroom is tiny. Walls are thin and you can certainly hear your neighbors. Staff are cheerful and bartenders friendly. But you need to ask about discounts etc that are part of the purchase. So don’t be shy.

Great location south of 5th within walking distance of the beach and many great bars and restaurants. All of the staff were fantastic from the efficient and friendly checkin by William to the bar staff who were chatty and helpful the happy hour here was also great with plenty of choice for both drinks and snacks. Should I return to Miami Beach this hotel will be top of my list
