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.

My 4 night experience at the hotel

The staff was good, the keys for the room never worked had to go back to the front desk several times to get the cards re-programmed, there's no hot or warm water in the shower, the toilet kept making sounds of filing water.

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!!

Be prepared for an electric atmosphere surrounding the property. There are options to request a quieter room if you want to avoid the Miami energy, but otherwise, plan appropriately.

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.

The value was amazing. We would have been satisfied if we had been asked to pay more. The front desk team was outstanding. From accommodating strange arrival and departure times by storing luggage, to making a last-minute tour reservation when we got in early, to offering to loan us bikes, beach towels and chairs, to offering honest advice about recommendations in the area, they were superb human beings. Highly recommend!

Wow! The smell of mildew/mold hits you right away when you walk into your room. Things feel generally sticky. The room itself was nice and quiet despite the very loud atmosphere outside. Security seems like an afterthought, and the pictures DO NOT accurately reflect the deck and pool. Don’t try the “gym”. It’s a SUPER MUSTY room sadly posing as a gym with 4 machines, 3 of which don’t work. Go to Crunch fitness if you want to work out and get a day/week pass.

I WOULDNT RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND!

The hotel was clean, but we arrived in our room with no towels, coffee, or bedding for the pull-out. We were given the towels and bedding, but we checked in on a Friday and they said they were out of coffee until Monday. What kind of hotel would not just go buy coffee pods in the interim for their guest, or provide it free in the lobby? Also, total misrepresentation if the pool deck area. There was literally one lounge chair there, and it was used!

Only one chair on the pool deck & WiFi wasn’t working but other than that everything was good, clean room nice bathroom. Also Expedia says they have laundry services but they don’t , so heads up for that in case you needed to do laundry. There is a laundromat close by
