musty and loud
The entire hotel smells like mildew, which they cover up with horrible air fresheners. Room looked like it was cute 15 years ago. They also didn’t mention it’s currently under construction and that we’d get woken up every morning at 7:45. At least they refunded us two nights because we left early.

Miami Stay
I booked this hotel for my stay for my daughter’s wedding. It was very centrally located to many restaurants the church and close to venue. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to enjoy the beach or other amenities. I’d like to hive a a huge shout out to Mary at the front desk. She was very pleasant and helpful

It’s a perfect spot away from the craziness of further north of Ocean Drive. A short walk to the beach, and perfect quiet pool area. Very close to Publix to stock up on booze & snacks. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
