Location, location, location. The hotel is right slap-bang in the middle of south beach, the room somewhat dated & overpriced for what is on offer!

Take a pass. Location is good - but..........

Don't bother with the breakfast --better off going to Denny's around the corner which is fresh as opposed to nasty staff at the property next door or a 'served' buffet of wet eggs, soggy toast, uncooked potatoes. You can't brag about two bottles of water a day when you have to ask for them because your room gets "freshened up" 2 times in 6 days.

Been there a couple times. But it needs better updating. Our blind was torn, lamp didn’t work, bathroom was updated but sloppy. Bathroom in lobby was out of order and one was dirty. When I called for someone to fix our tv they told me to use the converter.. duh … they finally came after 2 calls For the money you spend,, it should be a much better place. Not returning
