Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, making it easy to move around and feeling safe to walk around until late at night. On the downside, the rooms were incredibly old and outdated, with holes in the wall, rust everywhere, stained linen, and bathroom doors showing signs of wear and tear. The service was pretty bad due to the language barrier and slow response, although the staff at the reception were nice. The dining experience was above average, especially the free breakfast in the restaurant. The facilities need upgrades everywhere.
The hotel rooms were slightly better conditioned though we had a challenging experience when our children got locked in their room for over an hour. The room amenities were satisfactory, but there were some cleanliness issues with stained carpets.
The hotel had a strange smell, but the room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped for a great price. It felt like staying in a studio apartment. The location was convenient for budget travelers.
I ended up with a city view instead of ocean, and the room felt like a dimly lit studio apartment with some cleanliness issues. However, it was spacious, with a bare yet modern design. The service seemed impolite but bilingual, and the location was convenient for exploring Miami Beach. Dining was included despite some inconsistencies, and the facilities need upgrades to match the luxurious vibe we expected.
The hotel had issues with the room smell, but the location was fantastic and convenient. The service lacked warmth, and the dining options were disappointing. Facilities were not up to standard.
