I was upgraded to a beautiful corner full view room. I also had seen a few negative reviews but after my great experience, I’m not sure if those were real guests at this property. I travel more than half the year and I would definitely highly recommend this property plus it’s great location and helpful staff.

If you want to get some rest or sleep this isn't the place! They were rockin until 4am. I enjoyed the night life at this hotel. You can't go wrong with the location, the bed was comfortable & the shower was nice & big. ON THE DOWN SIDE (not all of these things bothered me), but they tried to charge me a hotel fee of $39, which was already included when reserved from Expedia, then they tried to charge me a $200. Deposit, when it's only $100. I called them out on both of these issues and they eventually agreed. I think most ppl won't speak up and they get away with this. They tried to give me a room on the 1st floor that had such a bad mildew stench that as soon as I walked in I was like no way! So then I had to go through the courtyard/restaurant where all the music/band/nightlife was going on, to the other building and through an ice cream shop, Lol, to the elevator to get to my room on the 3rd floor- anything was better than the 1st room he showed me, and much quieter (although the stage with the Band & DJ was right outside of my window), the TV didn't work (No Signal), No garbage can at all in the room, no coffee for the coffee maker & the pool (not what I was there for) was not in service. Over all my stay was good, mainly bc of the location, oh and I parked at the ZOCEAN hotel (5 blocks away) through SpotHero for $40. Parking at this hotel was $53. per night. The valet let me park in front to check-in with my bags for about 20 mins. until I came out to move the car.

Good; Room was cute as described; the view from the balcony was amazing. I got to see the sunrise and sunset. Location was amazing in central to literally everything -free bikes and beach towels were key; beach chairs are also included but they are fold up ones that you carry on your back to the beach.… Which is decent, but I assumed beach chairs/loungers that are part of our resort fee were the ones that are on the beach already. I would personally pay more to have the convenience of not having to lug around a beach chair on a hot humid day when I’m just trying to chill. Staff was nice and helpful. Negatives: we could not hook up to the Wi-Fi the entire time, which would usually be OK cause I’m never on my phone, but it rained the entire weekend so we are kind of stuck inside. The only other thing is that the property online stated that they had a 24 hour gym facility, but when I asked about it, they said it was on we were construction and referred me over to muscle Beach outside and Lumus Park… but the reason I didn’t originally go there is because it was storming outside. Overall, I would stay there again if the price point is lower than the other ones around them on Ocean Drive..but Since there are literally a million little boutique hotels on Ocean Drive I’d probably try a different one next time because typically they are all around the same price.
