Liked: Cleanliness
The property is located in the heart of South Beach, and it is perfect for solo traveler. The only disadvantage is the noise at night from the restaurants and clubs. It was not a big deal for me, but the music starts at 10am sharp and ends at 2am, so if you want to sleep in, it’s not the place for you. The pool was a plus, especially after a hurricane. However, it was quite small in size. It also gets crowded. The bellman at the hotel was very sweet and helpful. Overall, it’s a good place for the money you pay.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating. The location is superb but the noise from the surrounding bars was very loud until early morning well after 2:00 am. I would not recommend for light sleepers.

Nobody anywhere says that the courtyard has a nightclub with loud music. At first I didn’t mind when I came home from dinner because I saw there are two windows with heavy drapes that when closed blocked out most of it. So I opened the window and enjoyed the music while preparing for next days meetings. But after 11 they played some horrible edm to the basically empty club and the windows and drapes could not block out the driving base. I complained to the front desk and they offered to move me but by then it was 12:30 and it. Wasn’t worth it. They did turn it down a little. The next day they moved me to room 226. No closet to hang my work clothes! An Iron and no ironing board! And a saggy bed with a mattress like from your grandmothers lake cabin that came with the house. I discovered this after arriving late after a looong day of meetings and dinner w clients. Although I had prepaid three nights I checked out and ate the $125.00 to stay somewhere else

PROS: An old building with nice large renovated rooms. Staff were bery nice. Restaurant, bar and entertainment located onsite. Beach and shops just minutes away. CONS: Pool is way too small (3ft deep), no gym onsite so have to use the sister hotel (Victor) located 10 minutes walk away, elevator very slow and gets annoying. Also, no Netflix option on the room TVs.

Bienvenido a Miami
Everything was great. I even made two reservations, and they let me just leave my stuff n in the room, check out, and check in again. This is my favorite spot to stay in South Beach. However, there is some wear and tear starting to show. The carpet in the room had a lot of stains by the door, and it was sticky. We also found a baby cockroach. It wasn’t to concerning, as we know from living in Florida and Georgia our whole lives that roaches are a normal part of life, but you would rather not have them, ya know? Anyway, enjoy your stay!!!
