Very dissappointed they did not give us the room we booked. We booked a quiet ocean view king bed and ended up with two regular beds with horrible noise. It was a bait and switch. Very sad as I have stayed at several excellent Miami hotels and this one has the same potential but if one cannot sleep what is the point. When I checked in she promisded me the bed was a Queen.

Like great location. Many staff friendly and kind. Property was very quiet other than one night. Very disappointed no upgrade when most days it was low occupancy especially with construction 3rd, 4th, 5th day with no mention at booking nor any compensation. Main Restaurant closed same days. $$ two of nights and this just fell flat for me.
