    Perfectly fine if it fits your budget. Great location.

    We had a room in a separate building, with the window overlooking the carpark. This was pretty noisy over the weekend with people coming and going in the middle of the night blasting music from their cars. On the Friday night, there was noise all night of people coming back and forth along the corridor and the door at the end of the corridor banging loudly. It made me feel a little unsafe. We picked the room as my daughter has coeliac disease and I thought we might use the little kitchen but there wasn't a lot in the kitchen, such as cloths and cleaning products, sweeping brush, tea towel etc so it wasn't as useful as I had hoped.

    The location of this hotel is excellent with close access to the beach and free beach towels. Staff were very pleasant. Room was clean, with the exception of the showerhead, and a good size. If the price fits your budget then it does the job for a few days.

    The walls must be very thin because we could hear other people in the hallway. The beds were very low to the ground (but they were comfortable)

    The staff were members were very friendly and helpful.

    The room is a little small but it was still very worth it considering how reasonably priced it was for such a clean and safe room in South Beach.

    Great staff, super super convenient location, and just great for the price.

    Wasn’t that crazy about our room layout. The bathroom sink was in the room instead of being in the bathroom and there wasn’t much water pressure in the shower.

    The staff was exceptionally nice. Location was wonderful!

    the property is not what advertised online. when I called and asked about pull out couches prior to check in , the front desk advised they do not have couches and they did. when we got there we initially had to have the rooms switched because it was terrible.

    No denying the hotel is fantastically situated. We had a room above the sister restaurant, which really made no difference to us. If anything, it encouraged us to have breakfast there one morning- it was amazing (and packed most days). Miami is expensive - no hiding from that. I thought this hotel was one of the more reasonable before I booked and I stand by that having visited. I saw lots if criticism around beds being soft and the rooms being loud. The hotel is on the main strip, so yes you're likely to hear revving cars etc, but you're far enough away from those noisy bars to not hear their music. The room was larger than expected. We did find a cockroach on the floor when we first entered and my wife woke up with a bug in her hair - which is why I have to downgrade my review. For me, cleanliness is way more important than room size, location etc, so a little disappointed. That said, the customer team at reception were great and we didn't report the bugs - which we should have done. Not a 5 star hotel, but you're not paying for one either - so be realistic with your expectations! Location was fantastic. Would probably stay there again, but not sure I could convince the wife after bug-gate

    The hôtel has 3 buildings, a parking lot between 2 of them. Each building has an entrance on the street. We are a family of 5 and we had one bedroom at the 3 level of the far left building and an other one on the 2nd floor of the far right building: it was very disappointing to be so far from each other!! The bedrooms were clean but we had to switch on the AC to eliminate smells. In the 2 bedrooms, the floor and furniture seemed pretty new but they were all already damaged, what a pity! we paid 30 dollars for the parking but the cars are parked as tightly as possible along with the others, so it’s stressful to think if your car won’t be damaged during your stay.

    Close to the beach. Close to the restaurant We could borrow beach towels at the front desk

    No elevator to get upstairs in building 2 so if you stay on level 2 or 3 be prepared to carry your luggage up.

    The size of the room compared to other hotels on Ocean Drive. It also included a full size refrigerator and microwave in my particular room which is another rare amenity for a South Beach hotel.
