Noise levels - Unexpected and Unacceptable
I am conflicted writing this review as the hotel itself has no control on the neighboring outdoor bar/restaurant. The hotel itself is cute, comfortable, convenient and service was good. However, it sits directly next to a bar/restaurant called Oceans Ten - that is open air and played music or had a DJ each night (Friday and Saturday) until 3am. It's so overbearing that you have to raise your voice in the lobby when talking to the staff. Music started each day at 11am and by 8pm had risen to levels that were impossible to deal with. If you are unlucky enough to be on the side of the hotel sitting next to the open air bar - you will have extreme difficulty sleeping on those nights. Even when the staff asked them to lower the volume - they did not comply. Obviously it is Miami and South Beach and it's understandable there will be noise late in the night - but past midnight at the volume levels Oceans TEN has it at and in an area with hotels and residents - is unacceptable It is really a bummer as the hotel and staff have no control in the situation and you can tell they are just as bothered by the noise level. I just feel like anyone reserving deserves to know what they are getting into. We cut our trip short by a night because we could not take another night without sleep.

I had a very unpleasant experience during my stay at this hotel. The room felt damp the entire time, which made me feel uncomfortable and ultimately left me feeling sick. On top of that, our window was right next to a stage for the bar next door, and the loud music played until 2 a.m. every night. The noise made it impossible to sleep, and it completely ruined my stay. I would not recommend this hotel if you're looking for a restful, comfortable experience.

When we arrived in the room you could feel the springs in the bed. We asked twice for it to be fixed with a mattress topper or other mattress and they told us it was fixed. When we returned it was not any different and we discovered the mattress was actually on the bed upside down- so you were laying on the bottom springs of the mattress. We had to flip the mattress and in the process we found that the sheets had several stains. There was also no remote for the TV and after another call down to the desk they brought one that still didn’t work. The staff was very unresponsive and overall not impressed with this property and would not return.

Junior Suite average
We stayed in a Junior Suite. It was more spacious but it was in average condition and looked much nicer in photos. It was away from the main lobby of the hotel. Had to use elevator in the Gelato store on street level to access the room. The air conditioner was leaking but at least it worked and kept the room cool. Staff was ok and always felt abrupt in their actions. Hotel was sold out so they may have been overwhelmed. Location was good. Price per night was a bit high for what you get.

Great location and historic hotel
The location is amazing. Right across from the beach. Lots of restaurants and history around. Hotel is older and historic, so not super modern. The band plays until late, until 1 on our night, and we could feel the base the entire time. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

The room in the hotel was filthy. The toilet could barely drop the water down. To get to the room you will need to pass another building. The hotel had it reserved parking at the Pelican garage which had a sign that said 25 dollars for 5 hours at the entrance which I did not notice and the hotel did not inform the guests and you would end up paying for overnight parking about 60-90 dollars.

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our stay very much. Hotel is very clean, our room was spacious and confortable. Location is great right on Ocean Drive! Beach is right there. Also we had free bikes from the hotel! Be prepared for the music noise on Ocean Drive at least until midnight, but that’s South Beach…we will come back. Daniel & Celeste

Classic art deco hotel in a great location. Liked getting beach towels and chairs and walking across to spend time on the beach. Lots of great dining nearby. Had a room in the corner overlooking the street and the restaurant/bar, but didn't realize the windows were not completely closed until the day after we listed to the music on a Saturday night until 2:30 am. Ask for a quiet room.

Our stay was above our expectations! I have stayed in South Beach before but this location is really where all the action is. If you are OK with a little noise from the shows at night (until 1-3am max on weekends) this place is great! We were surely OK and appreciated the excellent service and lovely modernized rooms. I would stay there again!
