The hotel stay was great. We had no issue with the room. It was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Our problem was the pool. We were there for three days and could not use the pool. They were doing maintenance on the pool, and they kept telling us it will be fixed, but never did get fixed during our stay. When I inquired about some type of refund, all I got was a pass for a free breakfast, which was a $10 value. We were there celebrating my daughter's high school graduation. One of the main reasons I chose the hotel was because they had a pool. I just feel that we should have received a partial refund since we couldn't use the pool during our entire stay. Honestly not sure I would go back!

Great staff, location…everything!

We loved the Penguin; the staff were really helpful and kind. The location on beach front with nothing but the park and the palms in front, 2mins walk to the sea, in the middle of the lively Art Deco area and a block from a Walgreens for water and other forgotten bits is absolutely perfect. Breakfast is really good with hot and cold options and again, lovely staff doing all they can to help. There were always loungers at the pool, which could do with a better filter as it wasn’t that clean sadly. Our room was spotless and had two queens which were extremely comfortable, the wardrobe area kept out stuff out of the way which was perfect and the shower was a great pressure. I would say a few hooks around the place to hang stuff would be brilliant as no room to hang 3 towels when wet. I think it would be nicer to have frosted glass in the main room window as having the blind down all the time was a bit miserable, but saying that, we were only in the room for changing and sleeping and packing. If you are staying for more than a few nights, with 3 or 4, I would say to get a bigger room. All in all, we loved everything about the Penguin and no reason to go anywhere else if we return to Miami. Thank you x
