Very friendly staff. Welcoming lobby. Dining options abundant. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. Music plays loudly until wer hours and begins again around 8 if youre a light sleeper. Tiki Bar and Havana Restaurant are literally on steps of hotel with great food and drink optioms. The pool was not open for 2 of 4 day stay, 4 ft deep when did open amd only 8 chairs.Parrott poop in one end of pool. Can see Ocean Drive from pool. Nice breeze. Elevators for use and very secure. Beach chair and towels provided. Breakfast voucher provided, but must walk a block or two to eat. Versace mansion. Wet Willie's, The Clevelander all steps away. Thr best body wash and lotion from a hotel stay in a long time. The bed was very comfortable. Fridge came in handy, easy to catch Uber.

I was very disappointed that the pool was out of service for the entire weekend that we were there. It was one of the reasons that I booked this hotel. I was not happy that it was closed. It wasn't even closed for maintenance, it was closed so they could use the space to build the new lounge chairs. It was a disappointment. Other than that, the hotel was very good.

This property advertised loungers by the pool and for the beach. No lounge chairs or beach loungers. They gave you fold up beach chairs. Terrible. Very dissapointing. Pool area very loud w/ music all day long. Not very relaxing. Had to pay to use pools at other hotels due to this!!

The room was a little older but you definitely cannot beat that location. Shower was large with good water pressure. Tiles are older but everything was clean. We stayed in the secondary building past a gelato shop. It was everything you would expect from an Ocean Drive hotel. We could not hear any loud music at night as was mentioned in other reviews.
