Older place, but it’s been redone pretty nicely. The staff was great and very accommodating. The only thing that could be looked into is the the shower pressure other than that, the place is great. I would definitely stay here again.

Have stayed in South Beach many times. This hotel is nice because it’s on the northern part of South Beach so it’s a little quieter. Resort fee amenities are generous, the hotels, clean, and overall a great deal.
