Room was nice and large. Balcony was nice. Did not like that the cleaning trolley was always parked right outside our room. Our door lock failed one night and it took hours and many trips to the front desk to resolve and ended up ruining our dinner plans.. On our last night, alarms went off at 5 am and 5:30 am for no reason.

Great location, serious issues The location of this South Beach hotel is excellent—close to everything. Unfortunately, there were serious issues with our stay, most concerning a strong odor in our room that appeared mold-related. It aggravated my son’s asthma, causing severe coughing during our stay. After returning home, he required a course of steroids to relieve his symptoms, and his condition improved once we were out of the room. As the week went on, the smell also began affecting me, causing a sore throat, headaches, and chest tightness. I am now using my inhaler and recovering at home. We should have moved hotels but had paid in advance and were financially unable to do so—something I will not do again. Other issues included an odd room layout (toilet and shower separated from the sink), ongoing noise from a restaurant courtyard, and a troubling experience at the on-site restaurant when a possum was under our table, which staff dismissed casually. We were also charged a mandatory $36/day resort fee, adding hundreds to our bill. We didn't use the amenities: the main pool was very small with broken chairs and limited seating, and the second pool across the street was very shaded and we didn’t use it. While the staff and location were positives, the health, cleanliness, and value concerns made this a disappointing stay. I really believe we should get our resort fee back. The air conditioning pad showed “replace air filter “ and the shower has black mold spots

The hotel did not provide breakfast for us so we did not eat there. When I could not find my iPad after storing my bag in their "locked" storage room. The staff said they would call the manager and told me to wait and I waited for 10 minutes they still did not call the manager, so I left. Later when my husband went to ask about the iPad they just told us nobody turned in an iPad. The hotel did not provide cups for us until we ask for it the second day we stayed there. The bathroom has a bad moldy smell to it, so I have to close the bathroom door when I went to sleep to prevent from getting sick from mold. I would not go back to this hotel the next time I am in Miami.

This is the best place to say in South Beach if you want to catch a good night sleep and also go around and visit happening areas during the evening hours . There are three convenient of parking options. This is not clearly mentioned, but it would help if they clearly advise.. We came in early by 3 to 4 hours and they gave us the room that was fantastic. Customer Service kudos and not even big chain hotels do that.. now regarding the parking you have free street parking for two hours if you’re just plan to be there, you can keep moving your car every two hours. That’s a free option. Second is the pay option using your ParkMobile app. Between 3 AM and 9 am you have free parking. And the third option is there is a parking garage on the 23rd street, which is just a five minute walk. Use that. Don’t use the one which is right across the street because it’s $40 per day. The only advantage being you can go in and out as many times but honestly we don’t need to. There is the fourth transportation option which is a free wagon or a trolley you call it that goes and you can use that. This is a great place great bedding I would recommend you upgrade to the suite and it’s worth a stay if it is three nights or more.
