No sleep hotel

Our room faced another hotel across 10th St. they play music from 11 AM to 3:30 AM so loud you cannot sleep at night even with headphones. When I asked to move to a different room, I was told they all are about just as loud. I also asked for earplugs which they did not have. My question is if it’s so loud all the time why not put it in your listing so people know. We love to party, but when it’s time to go to bed, I would like to have some peace and quiet. The room was OK except for the bed was so hard. It was very uncomfortable. They really need to change their mattresses out.

It’s a nicely upgraded Art Deco property. The staff let it down by not cleaning the floor of my room. However, while I sent pictures and did gently complain, there was no recognition of the discomfort. Also if you are a single traveler and have luggage, the access is difficult and there is NO assistance provided

Very friendly staff. Welcoming lobby. Dining options abundant. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. Music plays loudly until wer hours and begins again around 8 if youre a light sleeper. Tiki Bar and Havana Restaurant are literally on steps of hotel with great food and drink optioms. The pool was not open for 2 of 4 day stay, 4 ft deep when did open amd only 8 chairs.Parrott poop in one end of pool. Can see Ocean Drive from pool. Nice breeze. Elevators for use and very secure. Beach chair and towels provided. Breakfast voucher provided, but must walk a block or two to eat. Versace mansion. Wet Willie's, The Clevelander all steps away. Thr best body wash and lotion from a hotel stay in a long time. The bed was very comfortable. Fridge came in handy, easy to catch Uber.

I was very disappointed that the pool was out of service for the entire weekend that we were there. It was one of the reasons that I booked this hotel. I was not happy that it was closed. It wasn't even closed for maintenance, it was closed so they could use the space to build the new lounge chairs. It was a disappointment. Other than that, the hotel was very good.
