Reviews
The hotel has a prime location near the beach and South Beach's attractions, with friendly staff. However, the property is outdated, with frequent complaints about broken elevators, lack of temperature control in rooms, and cleanliness issues.

Location is great. But the pictures are fake, no bar on property, rooms are run down and def do not look like the pictures they posted. Valet service is 50 bucks and u have to park your car and go get it. Hahaha. The beds sound like they are falling apart and everyone u move it wakes the everyone up. Do not stay here! Better off at a motel 6. Fake pictures used on their hotel website.

TV didnt work Wouldn't give us more than 2 towels total for 3 nights stayed Floors in the room were dirty Location was great but the hotel was a poorly maintained and run. The rooms and photos dont accurately reflect the state of the hotel and rooms. It was gross

Does NOT match the photos. Our room also did not have A/C. There was also a loud restaurant directly underneath our room. Good for a roof over your head and that’s about it. Staff was nice.

It’s a no frills, just a good roof to sleep under. Lady at the front was such a sweetie. If you don’t expect much , I’d say go for it. The ocean view was ok considering hotel is across the street.

It was FREEZING. We did try to ask the front desk but they leave at around 11 or midnight or so. There is crabby pissed off security guard there who is so glued to his phone that he seriously will got pissed for asking him a question. Nobody will smile here. Trust me. You are just another tourist. 4am, no staff, 5am no staff. finally at 8pm we got blankets but then missed 1/2 a day of precious vacation time because of this debacle. Missing trips to the sites and on and on. We just wanted a blankets so we could sleep! The next day I realized they were arms length of the security guard was standing! The staff could seriously care less. Other stuff. The pictures make this room seem newly painted. Ha! its very dirty with sand in the sofa. The beds are so so at best. Its not all bad. The view is very nice. The room spacious bigger than what you would get for this price for beach front. Its just south of the main strip and the party noise is manageable. Great location. It has so much potential if only the staff gave a #%)&@ about any of that.

Our travel plans went sideways so we didn't arrive for our 1 night stay until bedtime and we had to leave before dawn so I didn't get to enjoy as planned but the hotel definately has old school Miami Beach vibes, was clean as a whistle and our room was clean and comfy. I hope to come back and try again.

Property it’s located it in a Great Location, however my room wasn’t ready and was told was booked for next day which wasn’t truth. Front desk was gone and a security guy helped with the confusion. Finally was giving a dirty room, air conditioning wasn’t working properly and never got an apology from the manager. Never again.

The staff was beyond helpful and kind! They helped us check-in early after not initially seeing our Hotels.com booking (call them to check). We were sun exhausted and dead tired after an action packed 4 day cruise. It's an older building so don't expect shining surfaces, but the features in the stair ways and lobby were beautiful. They have ice in the lobby, they will hold your luggage if you ask nicely, but there were no beach towels. The elevator was still down and we were on the third floor. Thankfully my fiance carried the one checked bag and they didn't charge a deposit for the inconvenience. We weren't charged the "resort fee" upon arriving, but as mentioned they didn't have beach towel so that may be why. The A/C in the room is 100x stronger than the lobby so don't worry, your room will be nice and cold. We overall had a great time and again the staff was beyond kind and helpful during our stay!

Location, staff and water pressure are the ONLY items I would be able to recommend for this property. The lobby IS NOT as pictured on Expedia or their website. It must be an AI rendering from and Architect when they were thinking about a remodel. The entrance is dark, dank and an overall heavy feel. No HVAC in the lobby to speak of creating a nasty musty smell. The staff were wonderful though, very friendly and helpful. The room is spacious but has ZERO amenities. No coffee, coffee maker, cups, glasses of any kind, just a small fridge. This was just a stop over for a cruise, but it just started the vacay off on a down note. The entire hotel needs some serious maintenance/cleaning. Do not recommend.

the room was clean and the bed was comfortable The air con was freezing and couldn't be controlled by us so no way of turning temp up. The windows were bolted/painted shut (I'm sure this was a fire risk) There was a big crack in the sink. There was no tea or coffee facilities. Was a fridge but no glasses at all. The first night the fire alarm went off about 6 times intermittently every 20 mins. I tried to contact reception to find out what was happening but no reply. In the morning I asked and all she said was "no fire, sorry" No one came into make our bed etc whilst we were there. Staff not very friendly The toilets in reception were awful and in need of repair

The location is very good, you’re right across the street from the beach but for the same reason, you’ll have loud music and people downstairs past midnight. The hotel elevator wasn’t working and they don’t let you know till you check-in so if you’re a disable person, forget about it. The rooms are very cold and there’s no way to regulate the temperature, the bathroom had hair from the other guest.

Old Hotel and the elevator is not working. Clean but no control of room temp....
- 1/5
Room was clean, but very dingy and ran down, and also old, makes the cleanliness seem not clean, faucets were spraying water, cracks and missing porcelain on tub, plug was missing out of sink, and like I said, his old and dinged so didn’t feel clean, beds are hard as a rock along with the pillows, there is no controlled A/C so it was either FREEZING when building activated A/C or BURNING cause it wasn’t on, no fans either, and windows did open, but there was no screen or safety blanket? So you could literally fall STORIES if left open… also don’t bother asking any staff for assistance as every time I did they irritably took their headphones out of their ear like I was an inconvenience, lastly we booked this place with the elevator for a member who is disabled, but apparently the elevator has been out of service for years, so our guest had to find another hotel last minute to stay at that could accommodate, and we weren’t offered any refunds

The hotel was in a good location, however photos on Hotel.com were not reflective of the actual hotel… assuming there is a nicely decorated room on the premises… reception had no interaction with us at all (not complaining) bed sink in the middle and overlooked scruffiest car park… air con was so cold on the 1st night needed all the bedding from spare bed on main one to thaw out.

Location is the best. The room wasn’t clean enough, also had hairdryer broken and wasn’t working at all. Elevator doesn’t work also.

The location was superb! Small rooms, needing updating. Elevator not working for over 6 months. Yellow tags on water suppression equipment. No housekeeping. Wifi was as slow as a dial up modem from the 1980s. The bed frame is cracked. Had to ask for a blanket. Electrical hard to reach for CPAP equipment Stairs not easy to navigate with luggage (and a recent broken hip)

When booking, the website said the rooms were renovated and because we were across the street practically on the beach, I was excited and looking forward to the stay! When we arrived they discounted us the $25 check-in fee due to their elevator not working. The staff was very nice and apologetic. The rooms looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The bathtubs needed caulking and were worn (the ceramic or paint was coming off) The night stands next to the beds were dirty, worn, and outdated. The walls were dirty. It was freezing in our rooms and we were unable to control the temperature, we were told to close the vent (eyeroll)! The only thing that was good about the stay was the convenience of the location.
- 1/5
The front desk receptionist was extremely rude and unwelcoming, acting as if I was inconveniencing her. I asked about early check-in and was bluntly told no. We waited in the lobby for a while and checked again before heading out for lunch, but she didn’t even ask for my phone number to notify me when the room was ready. When I requested a call, she had me write my number on a Post-it note, which felt unprofessional. While waiting, I used the lobby restroom, and it was absolutely disgusting—honestly shocking. I’ve never seen a public restroom in that condition. When our room was finally ready on the third floor, we found out the elevator was out of service and had to carry our large luggage up three flights of stairs. Later, when I went to get ice, there was no information anywhere. After going back downstairs, I was told the ice machine was broken and there was no ice available. It didn’t get better from there. My husband went to shower and found that most of the towels were stained. Then at night, we realized the hotel is next to a very noisy area. There were people outside arguing, revving cars, and blasting music well into the night. Even with the windows closed and earplugs in, the noise was constant. Overall, this stay was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend staying here.

Rooms were clean but heavy smell of bleach. We had ocean view which was nice but being on Ocean Drive you can hear everything outside of windows. The elevator was not working so we had to carry our luggage upstairs and back down. Would had been nice to been informed of this before our visit.

The view was great, the staff was great. Location was ok. It was close to the beach and restaurants, which was great, but if you need an early bed-time, the party goes on until early in the morning. No ceiling fan or AC control so keep those blinds/curtains shut. For an overnight stay, it was perfect.

Hotel escalator was not working, cleanliness was not up to the mark. very old hotel and power supply ran using extesion cords, iron not working.

The only downside related to the location is the loud party atmosphere, unless that is what you are coming for. The music and street noise on the streets below echo into the room late into the night. But this is to be expected for the location, so I can’t complain too much.

Large size of the rooms and them being bright and airy They didn't offer disposable cups for the bathroom. A liquor cart with ice bucket was also provided, but no cups? E also had three in the room, meaning one of us slept on the couch. Linens or pillows were not offered. We were given two blankets.

The only 5 star is location close to SoFi. The 2 bed suite is far better than the queen. The pictures are definitely doctored. If you think of it as glamping or a hostel then you’ll survive. If you’re planning on sleeping in a bed with someone bring your silicone ear plugs because the bed is so loud when you make any movements and it tacos in. The pillows are hard pancakes and there is no thermostat in the room. Everything is very old. Our stay was with kids so we sucked it up but as soon as the kids left we upgraded.

This hotels location is all it has. It’s like a property I stayed at 25 years ago called the Banaba bungalow. If you think of it as glamping or a hostel then you’ll survive.

The hotel is dated and could use an update. But it was a good choice for Me and my daughters to be on the beach. The Valet was not out when we pulled up so we ended up self parking around the corner at the Miami lot. Was nervous leaving my car but was all good. And cheaper! ($20 vs $50)

Absolutely nothing. The only positive part of this experience was leaving the property immediately upon seeing the condition of the room. The room was a complete health hazard. When I walked in, I found used, wrinkled sheets covered in previous guests' hair. The toilet was filthy with used tissue still inside, and the trash cans were overflowing with garbage from whoever stayed there before me. The room was completely uninhabitable and uncleaned. To make matters worse, the management is completely unprofessional and ignores you once you raise an issue.

To start with, the elevator was out of order and had to carry 3 large bags up 3 flights of stairs. The room we were in had not been cleaned. The toilet was clogged and filled with feces. There was no one on site who would plunge the toilet. I had to plunge it my self and then get into a cleaning closet to get supplies to sanitize the bathroom afterwards. There denied there was any other room and no effort was made to make the situation better. Do not stay at this property.

The room was a good size. We had 2 rooms on different floors. The room on the first floor had its on A/C to accommodate your own temperature. The room on the second floor did not have its own thermostat and we froze. Also, the elevator was broken and no staff to carry your bags. It’s not luxury. The beds are hard and the pillows are rocks.

The online pictures of this hotel must have been taken 20+yrs ago or AI generated. Although the location is fantastic, the condition of the hotel is not. The elevator is permanently out of order and you can tell that it has been for a long time. Also, parking… they don’t mention that you have to pay for it. They have a small lot behind the hotel but they will charge you $40-$60 a day to park there depending on what is happening in the area that day. I would choose another hotel.

Property location was excellent…but the only good thing about it. Right across from South Beach and on Ocean Drive. Our room was on the 3rd floor and the elevator wasn’t working so we had to haul all our luggage up and down all the stairs. We were allowed to check in early at no cost and deposit was waved because of this. Property is old and in need of a full renovation, not just updating. The rooms are tiny, not very clean and very hot. No fans or thermostat to adjust the temperature. The beds were uncomfortable and felt like air mattresses. There was a lot of noise outside from vehicles and other things that we heard all night. We only stayed one night and the price was half the cost or more of other properties on Ocean Drive but I’m unsure if we would stay again.

The beds were very hard and made loud sound when you moved them.

We were not satisfied with our stay. The hotel is much older than what it looks like in the pictures. We completely understand keeping the hotel historic but be honest in the pictures. The room had cracks in the walls and was more outdated than what the pictures presents. The lobby is also not the same as the pictures, there is a section blocked off by a partitioner where they are selling drinks out the window. Check in time was 4 and we understood being told we had to wait however, people came in after us and were given a room; we literally had to wait until 3:50 to get our room although we did arrive earlier. The elevator was broken and that was not disclosed to us previously to arriving to the hotel. No alternative help was provided; we had to walk our luggage to the third floor on our own and was told we weren’t charged an “early check-in fee” as a courtesy of not having the elevator; 10 mins. To check-in is not that early.

The lovely girl with the beautiful curly hair at the reception was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We arrived early, and she kindly gave us towels so we could enjoy the beach while our suitcases were safely stored in a separate room, such thoughtful service. Our room on the second floor had good air conditioning, and overall everything was clean and comfortable. The beds were pretty good, and we slept well. Family members stayed in a room on the third floor; unfortunately, the WiFi didn’t work well there, which was the only downside. The location is fantastic, and the service truly made our stay special. We will definitely come back to this hotel!

Staff was VERY unhelpful, unfriendly and down right rude. The hotel ran out of toilet paper. The bathroom corners/floor was filthy!

Horrible smell when you walk in.

Rooms are nice and clean. Room was freezing cold. They were nice and give us extra blanket. Building is old with central AC hence they couldn’t adjust only the room temperature in our room. Elevator was out of order. So if you’re handicapped check first with them. We had to carry our luggage 3 flight of stairs. Nice location close to restaurants.

Hallways were a preview as to how unkept this hotel is. Musty smells, dirty, peeling wallpaper etc. made our way to our room and was not surprised at how dirty the interior was. Immediately checked for bed bugs and was pleased to discover none. The bedding however was stained and there was something resembling fecal matter or dirt, who knows at that point along the bedskirt. It was along the base so we steered clear (it was obvious that a call to the front desk would accomplish nothing as everything in this hotel was in rough shape and dirty so why bother) The furniture had potential to be cute and eclectic however the severe water damage, broken components and overall maintenance ruined that. My husband showered in this place and noticed pubic hairs left in the sink and around the drain. The caulking around the tub was covered in black mold and the floors in the entire hotel room were absolutely filthy. When we told the front desk they told us they had a new cleaning company and would mention it. It was a horrible experience and this is the first time I have EVER left a review like this. Absolutely do not recommend.

Our check in was uneventful. Elevator definitely still not working so good luck lugging your luggage up those steep stairs. There is no bellboy and the security guard is too busy on their cellphone. The entire hotel is outdated, and dirty. Every corner of our room and especially the bathroom could use a good scrub. Only one outlet in the room, which sparks when you try to plug something in. Have to hold down the flush for the toilet to actually work. If you're in one of the front rooms facing the beach, the windows are thin and the music from below is loud. 3/10 do not recommend unless you're young and here to party

Sadly I can’t think of anything I liked about this facility other than the location. so much. outlets were extremely limited, no coffee machine or cups, no kleenex, just bare minimmums in every category. I had to wake up the “security” guy behind the desk at 6:00 am to check out and get my car key.

Not Clean, incompetent staff, broken elevator. Old, outdated building, needs renovation. No pull out beds, no cribs. Read the google reviews. They are all true. If you are booking for a cruise pit stop.. reserve a hotel in advance. Do not go here unless you absolutely have to.

The room is fine for sleeping, but it is essentially a dorm room. Small TV, no thermostat, no extra amenities. If I was staying in the area for more than a single night, I would suggest finding a hotel with a bit more to offer. For our purpose (night before a cruise), it met our needs.

Overall… meh. Great location and price for what you get. Friendly staff and no problems. Cool historical hotel. A/C works fine in room. Room is “tired” and beds are rock hard. No housekeeping service available. No microwaves in the entire hotel! Doors have physical keys so don’t loose them. WiFi cost extra and is super spotty - it was free for us to cover the fact that the elevator is broken, which they failed to mention until we checked in. Good beach access for a great price. Just don’t plan on being very comfortable in the room. We would stay again I guess just because of the price and location - can’t beat that.

According to the hotel’s information, check-in is available at 4:00 PM, however, our family was not given a room until 5:00 PM. This was especially challenging as we were traveling with two young children and had already arrived at the hotel. In addition, the room was missing some basic amenities, such as bottled water and cups for brushing teeth, which we normally expect to be provided. While the staff was polite, the late room availability and lack of basic amenities affected our overall comfort. Unfortunately, this was not the experience we had hoped for.

Now the property and hotels.com are denying my refund. How can this happen? Charged me, denied me the service and then won’t offer refund. Terrible customer service from this hotel and hotels.com

After paying $40 for valet parking in the back of the hotel we had to haul our own luggage all the way around the block to the front. Upon checking out we had to do the same to return to our car. Not what I expect from valet, more like self parking. Before leaving for our cruise , I asked front desk if we were able to leave our luggage at the front desk when we returned since we had a late flight. They informed us that would not be a problem. When we returned they not only told us they would not honor that request but were left to figure what to do with our luggage since they offered no suggestions. Very disappointing stay!

The air conditioner was and it was 50 degrees outside which was on 12/30/25 Didn't offer extra blankets. We slept with hoodies and fully dressed, Tried to turn it out but it didn't work the air conditioner. The elevator was down didn't work, which it's been down since our last cruise which was about 3 yrs ago. So trying to carry your luggage was a hassle. working elevator, clean sheets and a place that serve breakfast that wasn't so expensive like surrounding breakfast place. And also air conditioner that you can turn on and off.

Location was great, across the street from the lummus park and the beach. Rooms were large overlooking ocean dr. And now the bad: No temp adjustment on the room, frigid cold temps in the room. Plumbing was a mess, no running water for a bit, toilets were plug which resulted in you waking to the end of the hall and collecting a communal plunger (they’re $5 at Home Depot, put one in each room if you can fix the plumbing issues. Check in was a nightmare, took several hours waiting despite arriving at check in time. Cannot access the hotel, they should mention ocean dr is closed permanently to vehicles so you have to get dropped off several blocks away and walk with your luggage.

Additionally, the air conditioning was not working in one of the rooms. The in-room safety box was also nonfunctional due to a dead battery. We reported this issue, but no one came to fix it during our stay. Housekeeping was another major concern. Our rooms were not cleaned at any point during the three days, despite placing the “Please Make Up Room” sign on the door daily and directly asking housekeeping staff we encountered in the hallway. We had to go to the front desk to request clean towels, and each time we were told they were unsure if towels were available. When we asked why the rooms had not been cleaned for two days, the front desk staff informed us that “room cleaning is not guaranteed,” which was both surprising and disappointing. Overall, the lack of basic service, communication, and responsiveness significantly affected our stay. We hope this feedback is taken seriously and addressed to improve future guest experiences.

I knew from previous reviews that the lift was out of order and that the air con was permanently on "cold" through out the hotel and rooms. It's not independent. This was still the case! Whilst checking in another guest had to ask for blankets for his wife as the room was so cold! I thought I could manage the cold but struggled as well. My room was basic but clean with a super king size bed that overlooked Ocean drive out to the beach. Overall the hotel has a great location but that is the only thing going for it! It needs a complete refurb but looking at previous reviews, it's been like this for years, so I don't see any immediate changes....I would give this a miss!

They did let me know ahead of time, however the elevator doesn't work. There was another review that stated his refrigerator didnt work so i was already going into with that mindset... My refrigerator was the opposite. It was so cold i put my things in there a few hours frozen solid... redbull can puffed out like a blow fish. The wifi is awful! The TV is connected to the wifi so the tv never worked. I took a photo for proof of what my screen looked like. I sometimes got a "theres a problem trying to play samsung tv. Check your connection" theres another screen i saw once but dont have that photo fyi, that said "there's no connection, connect to a network to use samsung TV" but what was weird was that the sound of the channel would come in and out..connected my phone to the wifi, and nothing loaded in a timely fashion. Videos, tiktok, tooks years to load i was forced to use data. The positive about here... its literally right across from the beach. Also relatively close to the little shopping mall and restaurants to keep you occupied since the tv didnt work. And the bed was pretty comfortable. Would i ever come back, absolutely not. Never in a million years.

There was no elevator and I’m handicap. There’s no air in the room you put us in. I paid for a beachfront and you couldn’t see the beach. This hotel is zero stars and that’s what it should be listed at on your Expedia app because this was the worst hotel I’ve ever been in it stunk and there wasn’t nothing I could do. I had to go buy cleaning products to clean it because it was so nasty I don’t think they’ve ever mopped the floor I was so disappointed in this hotel that I’ll never use Expedia again. I tried to call and make a complaint and the manager on duty wanted to give me 50 Expedia points when I spent more than that on the hotel and then the lady at the hotel said Expedia never contacted them because they would’ve given our money back, but Expedia told us that the hotel manager said that they couldn’t reimburse us anything but then again the lady running the place said nobody ever called even check because she would’ve gladly given our money back so we had to stay five days in a dump very disappointed

- 1/5
Stains on all sheets and towels, roach droppings in room, dead roach in hallway, paint peeling everywhere, old tattered furniture, bed and pillows are rock hard, you can hear word for word conversations through the windows and the walls. The walls and ceiling creaked with every door slam and heavy foot. Elevators haven't worked for months. So we carried three kids, 4 bags, and two strollers up the stairs every time we had to go somewhere. Every inch of the couch is stained. Front desk is extremely unhelpful (didn't have extra sheets for the couch or towels when we requested so my husband went searching for housekeeping). Front desk was certainly uninterested when I initially arrived for check in. Thought I was getting a deal for $180. Never again would I stay here. Felt like a druggy motel.

Everything was awful, the room didnt even have a thermostat or plastic cups to use. There was no coffee available in either the lobby or rooms. The elevator was out and was told “your kind of room” isn’t available on the first floor even though the hotel was not sold out. It was very cold in the room. We weren’t offered the option to upgrade our room and when we checked in the first thing out of the person at the lobby’s mouth was “yes”, not cam I help you.

If I could no star I would! There is no elevator, they say it’s broken and waiting on repair, that’s not true! It never works. The room was dirty! There were pills on the floor, the chair had skid marks on it, the bed was like sleeping on a board of old piling cloth that was not white but gray. The door knob was broken. I was put on the 3rd floor after asking for a different room was told that’s all they had! BS, I heard the ocean drive noise all night. The hotel controls the air, so needless to say the 3rd floor was like a hot box! Couldn’t wait to get out. If I was not dealing w/ a broken foot, I wouldn’t have stayed. There was no where to go at 5pm so I had no choice! Horrible room, horrible staff, horrible stay!

Chose hotel for location which was perfect for a quick walk to the beach or the several local restaurants. Hotel itself is old and rundown and the bed was hard as a rock so 5 on location and 1 for hotel. Hotel staff was nice.
- 3/5
Air conditioner is central. You do not have control over the thermostat. And there is no coffee pot in your room or downstairs. We had to walk almost a mile to the Starbucks because there was not even any cafés open until 7 AM. Just make sure you know that before you stay because we did not.
- 1/5
I wish we could add photos. This hotel was gross! The front desk said we could get a refund through Hotels.com and then Hotels.com said the hotel said no. Elevator was out of service, outlet in the bathroom looked like it had been on fire, rust in the shower. Go to the the hotel next door. Our friends stayed there and it was 100x better for same price.
- 3/5
Ok for one night stay. Very old and outdated. Bathrooms very small and missing most of the door to the shower. (Not sure if that was supposed to be on purpose). Beds very very firm. Loud. Could hear people from three rooms over (if you know what I mean) and every conversation and foot steps from the hallway. Door had old school locks and didn’t seem very strong. Great location and if you just needed a place to sleep worth the price. Parking another issue all together. We left early morning and the number for the valet no one answered or any answering service. Had to wait forever until someone from the hotel was able to help us.

The room was hot and only had 2 plugs in it

Reception appeared to be completely disinterested in us as guests. The elevator was not working and no offer of help to go up the stairs with luggage until we insisted. The elevator has been out for four months. Wifi was unsecure and McAfee suggested I not use. Noisy hotel guests through the night

The room was okay, given what it is. The fact there is only 2 wall outlets in the entire room and the fact it stayed insanely warm the entire stay was not good. They need to be more upfront about the room amities.

The only good thing was the location. There was not one electrical outlet in the bedroom for guests to use. There was one in the bathroom that the hairdryer was plugged in to. Unacceptable! No vent at all in the bathroom. The beds were absolutely horrible! Loud creaking with every movement, hard mattresses.

Front staff was very helpful with any and all questions I had. Location is insane! Walking out the front door takes you right to the beach. Nestled in between great restaurants. 30 second walk from bicycle rentals. I would definitely come back.

The price is good for beach being across the street Complaints - elevator was not working but the receptionist was able to move our room to the 2nd floor instead of 3rd , Security did offer to help take our luggage up Room was extremely cold need 3 blankets to feel warm, there is no climate control in the rooms , Room didn’t have a dresser to put away clothing only a closet with hangers

Elevator was broke, so we had to walk up the stairs. Furniture was old and stained. Room was hot and muggy.
- 2/5
Yes I know the valet was a different company but I still expect front desk to be kind and helpful and make me feel like my concerns matter and make an effort to try to remedy them. His colleague a young woman the next day greeted me with a smile and was helpful to at least make me feel like she would come up with a solution. This was as I mentioned the second time staying here because I had great WiFi last time and a working room and great location. But based on this experience (even though I got a more expensive suite this time) I will not be staying here again neither will I recommend this place. Very disappointed.
- 2/5
The elevator was not working and I had multiple rooms that my parents that are old had to go up to the third floor my other room there were handicap because of their lungs and they were on the second floor with no elevators. That’s tough with your bags, maybe since the elevators were down they should’ve had workers carried up the bags for the people that couldn’t handle it. there was no phone call no nothing no Email saying that the elevators were down and they were down for the whole time and no timing on when they’re getting them back.
- 5/5
Great location and access to dining drinks the beach!
- 2/5
It was a stay that was needed at the last minute, so thankful for somewhere to stay. It was very cold, could not adjust the temperature, I got sick as well. The toilet had to be fixed, lighting was poor. We saw 3 roaches, one in the bathroom, and two in the bedroom. The staff was nice but the actual physical hotel, I will not stay again. I honestly feel like we are owed money back.

Their elevator was out of service. The lobby was hot & humid. The hotel room was VERY hot, no thermostat whatsover, we had to adjust to the condition that the place was in which was in shambles. There was a cockroach in our bathroom crawling around AND the walls were paper thin, I could hear everyone and everything in that hotel. This honestly has been the worse "hotel" I've stayed at. The reality did not meet the expectations and the pretty aesthetic they paint to have online.

I paid for valet parking which is a separate company from the hotel and I had to park my car every time and pull it out as well ballet was never to be found so I paid $120 to park my own car. The location is amazing The beach is right across the street. They need to upgrade their TV channel system and it would have been nice to have a microwave in the building. The room was amazing I really enjoyed my stay I just did not like the valley issue. I will return again.

Cons - Staff was pretty rude to indifferent. Fine print is if you stay only one night you have to pay $100 deposit. Elevator was broken. Costs $40 to park overnight even if you are staying with them. Parking wasn't explained well at check in and I had to go searching for the parking guy to get my keys to find out they were at the front desk. No vending or water so make sure you bring drinks with you.
- 1/5
When we came we didn’t enjoy the fact that the elevator was out of service for 3 out of the 5 days we went, and yes they reimbursed some of our money but it was such an inconvenience because we were staying on the 3rd floor. The bathroom shower didn’t have a full door so we were a bit confused.. also they didn’t have a microwave, or anywhere in the hotel to get water. Lastly when we stayed and asked for more towels they made it seem like they couldn’t give us more and there was barely anyone ever at the front desk to even ask. Besides that, our time in Miami was awesome and the surrounding area was great the beach was right across the street and they had awesome food options down the strip.
- 1/5
Very bad hotel, not clean, old rooms. Staff is very rude, all of them! Rooms are freezing and there’s no way to control the temperature. Elevator was not working, Valet parking was not always valet as the employees were not always there. Only good thing about it is the location. Other than that, will never go back.

Property was perfect location to the beach and the heart of everything on Ocean Drive, excellent location and the whole vibe around it, the hotel was not what i expected, the staff other than the nice gentleman outside who patrols the entry way was great, he made the stay nice, now lets get down to the hotel in general, they ran out of towels the 2nd day there and we were told they wouldnt have any till the next day, hotel lobby was hot and i have a 3 month old who needed his bottle warm, no microwave and only 1 of the employees helped on the 1st day, after that they would heat his bottle, horrible service overall but great location if your alone solo

So I would try to give 3 stars but unless you just want amazing beach access…everything else is not so great. First I was unaware of a $200 refundable deposit. Not a deal breaker by any means but would be nice to know upfront. There’s no WiFi, you cannot control the AC to your room and the rooms are just very basic. Staff to us was friendly. However, I would not recommend any Valet services because it’s all third party.

Great location, but terrible service. I stayed 3 times in this property because of price and location, but the stress you go through is not worth it. You don’t feel welcomed , you don’t see one glimpse of smile from any member of the staff and they are not helpful at all. If they could at least make you feel welcomed, I could close my eyes to all the other details as it is an old property and I can accept that.

The location was great. Right across from the beach. Plenty of a restaurants on the ocean Drive strip. However the room was not really up to par. There was an extremely small TV. The shower was only partially closed then by one sheet of glass. No curtain or anything to close it all the way. We didn’t get any room service the entire time we were there. So I’m guessing they do it after you leave. And there is no access to a microwave so if you plan on bringing food back to the room, that’s unfortunate. The woman at the front desk was exceptional though. She made the stay better than it was by being as helpful as possible.
- 1/5
We stayed 4 nights the trash was never picked up and not once did housekeeping came to clean the room. The sink was backed up and I requested several of times for housekeeping. The cleanliness is terrible.
- 2/5
Close by the water and restaurants, which was nice….but the beds were uncomfortable and there was a “community toilet plunger” in a bag in the hallway for people to use if the toilet got plugged- super gross. There was hair in the shower when we arrived. Staff was not very friendly either.

Great place to stay very close to the beach. In the middle of everything.

This is a no frills hotel whose strongest feature is that it's right across the street from South Beach. It's also 10 minutes from the Convention Center. Emphasis on no frills. the Shower didn't work, the 24 inch tv didn't work, and the remote was crusty. Again, if you need a quick bed for one night so you can visit the beach or do a short tour of Miami...the price was okay.
- 4/5
Staff clerk and valet guy spoke English, it’s a big plus. Place is clean and nice. Area is busy and noisy. Big minus for us that car key needs to keep at front desk(if you not prepared ahead of time as we’re didn’t know it) need ask for your keys every time.
- 3/5
Great location, but need updates and deep cleaning

Additionally, the room was small for two adults and two teenagers. If it were just my husband and me, I might consider booking again. We also encountered an issue with the restroom, which clogged and required us to fix it ourselves. I loved that it was walking distance to the beach and restaurants. This hotel has so much potential!

200 deposit when wifi barely worked you can’t control your ac so it’s hot all day ice machine way on the first floor then the elevator stop working for the last 2 days I’m on the 3rd floor had to carry my suitcase down the stairs which wasn’t easy to find I can really go on & on the hotel room itself wasn’t that bad certain staff was lazy the security the Hispanic one the only good thing they had going because he made sure people that wasn’t suppose to be there didn’t get In
- 3/5
Valet wouldn't take cards and upped the price $20 after the hotel already told us what the cost was. He wouldn't take the car unless I gave him the money. So we had no choice. Walls are thin and you'll hear every word from your neighbors. Shower didn't work, so had to bend over in the tub to wash our hair. The hotel is, pretty though and a great location.

No elevator had to carry our bags up a set of steep tiled stairs. The door to get to the floor was so heavy some young me. Had to help us open it. There was no adjustment for the temperature so we were freezing. No blankets. Was not what I was expecting at all. Very disappointed. Loud bar or something right below our room. Very dated cracked junky tile and two lights that didn’t work. Would not recommend.

I like the building old and original.the stafff was horrible. They didn't clean our room and the sheets have blood and hair and when we ask for clean and change the sheets they didn't.

I stayed for 2 nights; the noise was no bad at all, but this was during weekdays, I don't know about the weekend but is the end of the street, so I am sure is not bad during the weekend either. The beach is right here, and you have the fun, the food and stores near you. I had great time. Thank you

My check in was very dismal. I have never been greated in such a dismal way, ever. The staff was not rude, just showed no emotions at all. Like no welcome, or hello. Etc. My room was fine. But the lobby bathroom was disgusting. That was the day of chexk in. I even went in there in the morning before I left, and it was the exact same. Nasty. Dirty. And strong smell of urine.

AC is central and it was freezing in our room…. they said they cant do anything on that room furniture in terrible condition, room door barely closing and locking, elevator one of the worst ever seen in my life and vallet arking 40 dolars per day with the fact they give u a key and u have to take car alone which would not be a problem if we would not have full hands of luggage and it was heavy rain so we came soaked to the car

The property needs to be renovated, the rooms were clean but outdated , yes they’re trying to keep it old fashion but you can still put coffee maker in the room, microwave , also the room service forgot to do our room we left sign on the door but that’s ok all we needed is fresh towels we got them from the front desk , HK gave me fresh towels in the hallway but didn’t pick up dirty ones maybe was just miscommunication , nice people no problem , just fix the property , make it up to date.
- 3/5
Was surprised with additional charges when we checked in, and the internet that I paid extra for was horrible!! Persone we spoke with behind the front desk were not helpful with our request for a late check out and seemed indifferent when we complained about the internet service. Housekeeping seemed to be sliding all the furniture in the room above ours across the rough tile floors, making an unpleasant amount of noise. We also knew when the bars closed as loud conversations happened at 0430...

Front desk people were not welcoming, but not mean...just seem dull, like they didn't care. No smiles, but did the job. Hotel is very old and needs maintenance. But, room was very clean and I had everything I needed. So, I didn't care about getting a fancy stay. It was super convenient and valet parking was also convenient and not too bad $40 for the day and night and I could get my car at any time if I needed to. I would stay here again if it is a good price.

Hotel was prime location for the beach, food and entertainment. Only downside was the noise from the street at night. Sounded like people were in the room having conversations. Paper thin walls and windows, so not much sleep. Would stay again other than the noise. Just bring some earplugs
