The hotel was very smart, modern, and fresh. It was surprisingly quiet and pleasant but worn in need of refreshing. The location was central to everything in South Beach, perfect for a long weekend getaway to Miami, right in the heart of the action. The service was amazing, extremely helpful, and kind enough to offer us a welcome drink after our delay. The dining experience was minimal but just enough to get us started in the morning. However, it could have some improvements with more variety.

The hotel is centrally located in South Beach, perfect for enjoying the beach and nightlife. The rooms are a bit small and some are old and have a musty smell, but the location makes up for it. The dining options could use more variety, and the staff seemed overwhelmed at times. However, the hotel is extremely accommodating and close to Ocean Drive.

7.8/10

The hotel is situated in a central area of South Beach, making it perfect for those who want to be close to the beach and restaurants but still enjoy a quiet environment for a good night's sleep. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay overall. The dining experience may not be exceptional, but the ability to use the Clevelander facilities next door adds a great perk to the stay. The only downside is the challenge of dropping off your car at the valet due to unclear directions in the busy traffic.

The location is excellent, close to bars, restaurants, and the beach, yet maintaining a relatively quiet atmosphere for relaxation. However, being on a busy road can be a bit overwhelming.

The dining experience was a bit meh with some room for improvement. However, the access to fresh fruits and bagels was a nice touch, and the smoked meat was a highlight.

The facilities are not top-notch, and dropping off your car at the valet can be a bit of a hassle due to unclear directions in the busy traffic. Nonetheless, the hotel offers good value for the price paid.
