The room was clean and it was spacious ( had a Jr Deluxe suite). The staff was nice. We did not like the fact that we had to walk a ways through the restaurant and through the gelato place to get to the elevator to get to the room. Kit a game-changer, but not convenient. It’s also not ideal that the free breakfast is for Cafe Americano at its sister hotel , Hotel Victor. It’s 3 blocks away. Also, no gym is not great a well.

Hotel was very noisy upon checking in due to louse live music. Staff’s response was that we should have done our research and brought ear plugs. Room smelled and was missing table chair and bedding and towels. Bedding was provided after reminding twice and towels never came. Phone was working also. Cafe for breakfast is not on site and 5-10 minutes walk. Would not recommend and return to this hotel.

The room was very clean and housekeeping was responsive. There is loud music all day and night (Cuban restaurant) we didn't mind but some might, it is Miami after all! The pool was very small like VERY and not many seating options. The beach chairs they let you use are Walmart type beach chairs - very heavy but not comfortable- and you have to carry them a decent distance to the beach (across a park type area and then the beach itself is wide). We only used them once and not again. You can rent chairs on the beach for a decent price we did that instead. Breakfast was a block away and very good. Would stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
The location was fantastic—perfect for young spring breakers who want to party all night. However, the noise level was unbearable. Loud music, shouting, and doors slamming went on well into the early morning, making it impossible to sleep. When we complained, the front desk simply suggested earplugs instead of offering a real solution. While the rooms have been updated a bit, the workmanship was poor at best—flooring was coming up, making the space feel unfinished. The on-site restaurant was average at best, nothing memorable. Warning: If you’re a family or a light sleeper looking for a relaxing stay, this is not the place for you. It’s great for those who want to party, but don’t expect peace, quiet, or quality accommodations.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was literally the worst place we have ever stayed. The hotel is ok, not as clean as it could be and the shower did not drain at all, the tv didn’t work. But the biggest issue is that it sits right in the middle of 3 or 4 nightclubs. So if you don’t want to sleep until about 4 in the morning, this may be the place for you. But if you do, we are not talking about a little noise. It is like you are in the nightclub. We couldn’t even talk to each other half of the time. Plus, I pad for an ocean front hotel. Definately not oceanfront, there is a major street between the hotel and the entrance to the beach. They claim that they have beach chairs and that is what your resort fee goes for. Well they give a lawn chair and you have to carry it over to the beach. And remember it is crossing a street and probably 300 yards to the entrance of the beach. My biggest tub is that the price that I paid was in line with some very nice hotels and this was not. There also was sketchy people just hanging out in front. Never going back.
