James and staff were excellent !
so helpful and nice
This was an amazing location
Hotel has a great patio to sit out on right across the street from a green space and the beach
Lots of shops restaurants & walking biking paths in the area
The neighboring hotel was fun for a free, welcome drink, and rooftop pool
The location is amazing, staff was helpful and kind, and we loved the walkability of the area. The included breakfast and welcome cocktail brought the whole experience from good to great!
This hotel is not the cleanest, but the location is great and the staff were very friendly and helpful! We tried the restaurant that serves breakfast for the hotel for dinner the night before and it was terrible. No flavor to the food and the drinks were below average.
We found other restaurants near by that were delicious.
If the rooms were really cleaned it would be a wonderful place to stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by the location and my stay. Good Job...we will be back

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The television in our room did not work, when we arrived and asked for a cot we were told that we should have reserved one when booking. It felt very much as if we were an inconvenience. The room was small and cell like but very clean. Location was good and close to everything. Parking was a challenge.

Stay on Miami South Beach
Comfortable room; lift only to 3rd floor therefore had 16 steps to negotiate to reach room 401! Spacious, well furnished outside area with the expected sea vista.
Included breakfast at adjacent Front Porch was limited: Coffee or tea; only bacon, chunky potatoes, bacon, scrambled egg & slice of toast offered - zero option to vary such as poached egg - take it or leave it! A small saucer of fresh fruit to share freshened the palate. Good service.
Property and staff are very good, but breakfast is not good at all and restaurant staff did not even bring the food properly we had very hard time, otherwise hotel is very good
