Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great beachfront location with plenty of nearby restaurants. The rooms are a bit outdated and some had plumbing issues. The service is hit or miss, with some staff friendly but others lacking customer service skills. The location is fantastic with easy access to the beach and local attractions. The dining options are limited, mainly offering basic breakfast items. The facilities are decent overall.
The hotel offered spacious, clean rooms with a small kitchenette. The bed sheets were at least clean, and the bathroom was comfortable. However, the images online did not match the actual rooms. The service was a mix of rudeness and helpfulness. The location was convenient for beach lovers and shoppers, although the closed pool staff was a downside. The dining options were limited, and additional charges for amenities like breakfast and resort fees were disappointing.
I was thrilled with the spectacular views from the room overlooking the pool and the southern aspect of the ocean. The room was spotless and conveniently located on the 4th floor with a sea view. The hotel was perfect for a relaxing stay surrounded by beauty, but the dining options were limited compared to our expectations.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, although the surrounding area looked a bit worn. The service lacked warmth and could definitely benefit from improvement. On the flip side, the location had its perks with nearby shopping and dining options, even though it seemed a bit overpriced. Dining options were limited and additional fees were a downside.
The hotel room seemed to be a storage unit with furniture piled up initially, but after a room change, it was large, clean, and very comfortable. The cleaning service was excellent, making the stay cozy. The service was not consistent, with misleading information and unwelcoming interactions. The location offered a mix of cleanliness and noise, with southern exposure being a highlight despite some construction. The dining options were limited, mostly consisting of basic items with additional charges. Overall, the stay had its ups and downs, with room comfort being a standout feature.
My stay was mixed with some positives and negatives. Despite the room feeling old and resembling a retirement home, it ended up costing more than my corporate rate elsewhere. The space was fairly small and aged, but the location onto the sand was a plus.
The hotel's location was excellent, right on the beach in a safe and beautiful part of Miami. The rooms were okay despite some noise issues and lack of a nice view. The service was a bit hit or miss, with friendly staff but not always attentive. The dining experience left something to be desired, with limited options and additional charges. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
