This was our first time visiting Miami and we were ecstatic to book our stay at the Shepley. We loved the art deco style of the hotel, its charm and decor. The location couldn't be beat as it was within walking distance to a number of shops, restaurants, tour group pick-up locations and the beach.
We did find the smell of the hotel quite pungent (it had a pine-deodorant smell that was overwhelming). I was sure if I'd be able to stand it as I'm sensitive to smells. Lastly, it would have been nice to have more hooks, a drying line in the shower, and more counter space in the bathroom.
