    Rooms are a little worn. Quite noisy when people come back in the hallway (everything seemed to echo).

    Clean and tidy. Good AC. Comfy bed.

    The breakfast could have been much better. we only had breakfast at the restaurant as it was inclusive in the stay. so can’t comment on how the other meals are but they need to work on everything about their breakfast.

    Loved the location! we chose this property as we wanted to live on the viby South Beach & have access to the beach! They provide free beach beds and towels. This is a Travel Sustainable property which I personally appreciate & the property is quite honest about what they provide & what they dont. if travel sustainability is not for you then please live somewhere else. we totally knew what we were getting into. the whole point of living on South Beach is to enjoy the various restaurants & clubs and have access to the beach. The staff is polite & helpful. Overall we had a great stay!

    Didn't stop for breakfast due to other plans but the restaurant area is tiny.

    Comfy enough for 4 people although the beds were a little small. Clean and a great location.

    The room was located to the back of the hotel which was helpful for avoiding the late night crowd and noise. However, this leaned to a darker, no view room. Just a side of a building with some ambient light. The restaurant located within the hotel is convenient for the free breakfast but I would not suggest eating any other meal there. Our late night arrival forced us to grab something from there: a soggy bland burger and a unremarkable Cesar salad for my daughter. And exhausted and hungry from our long trip I ended up tipping on what already had a built in 20% gratuity. Which ordinarily wouldn’t bug me if food was at least good and I hadn’t asked the front desk guy to bring it up, and restaurant forgot our drinks so had to go back downstairs anyway. So free breakfast is great, but explore for other meals.

    The proximity to the beach is fantastic. Unfortunately we arrived at night so we were unaware of how the front changes with the restaurant activity, so ended up walking past the front upon arrival. Eduardo at the front desk was outstanding. Kind and helpful. Room was clean, bathroom very clean. Central to many restaurants nearby, for takeaway or dine in.

    My first room (106) was freezing and the staff didn't seem to want to do anything about it. At one point, a staff member entered my room, placed cardboard over the vent, but left my door ajar. I was livid. However one staff member named Eddie finally helped me out and moved me to room 105. From there, my stay was perfect (I stayed a total of 5 nights, with the four of them in the better room).

    The complimentary breakfast, the cold water in the lobby, friendly staff (especially Eddie), the location, and the price.

    The pipe under the sink was leaking, so there was water on the floor. The ice machine was not working, which the staff was aware of, but nothing was done Cleaning could do better, there was some hair from previous guests in the room

    You can choose between four different dishes for breakfast, which by the way taste really good. Location is great. Super cozy old hotel

    It would have been nice to have the option to lounge at a pool. Keep in mind this property doesn't have a pool.

    The location on Ocean Drive was very nice because it's in the promenade where no cars are allowed to drive. You're also a little farther from the louder more club like places on Ocean Drive but can easily walk to them. Having breakfast included was very nice considering the price for meals while staying in South Beach. Free lounge chairs for guest at the beach too.

    Bathroom "door" is a slide door, and it has gaps on both sides and on the top when in closed position. For a couple, not a big problem, but for more people, there's no real sound privacy.

    Big room, big beds, good clean bathroom and nice headshower! Breakfast was a lá carte with 4 options, and they we're pretty good. It's on the north side of Lummus Park, so it's quieter than the middle/south part we're the parties are!

    While the two-people bedroom is spacious enough, the bed itself isn´t. It is way too small for two people.

    The hotel is cozy and beautifully decorated. Service at the front desk is excellent and breakfast was good as well. But nothing beats the location; it is quite convenient.

    a good choice if accommodation and food are not important to you

    I would start from the room itself. The room was on the high ground floor, without the possibility of opening the windows, and the windows themselves were covered with an opaque film, so it seemed a little claustrophobic. There were no other rooms available, so I had to stay in this unit. I think these rooms should have a lower price than the other rooms because you don't have a window in them. The breakfast was quite modest, compared to breakfast in other hotels around the US. You get a voucher and you have the option of choosing between two options with eggs, one with 3 slices of bacon (small slice) or 3 small sausages, and of course the vegetarian option. I think that a 4* hotel would have to have much better food, and a much larger selection of food. Drinks include coffee or tea.

    Location, location and location. The hotel is located across the street from the beach, which is separated by a street, which is mostly closed to traffic, and a park. In the heart of Miami Beach itself, surrounded by beautiful buildings characteristic of the old part of the city. The hotel also has a beach with sunbeds, 10 minutes away from the hotel. Towels and sunbeds with mattresses are available. Unfortunately, umbrellas are an additional $20 per day.
