Location was great. Short walk on Ocean Drive to cool bars, restaurants and shopping. A classic Miami Beach vibe. The hotel itself is quite dated and in need of a refurbishment. The carpets are stained and the lobby/check-in seems random and sparse. Seemed like a card table with a laptop on it. The room is small, but reasonably clean. The lighting is confusing and inadequate. No safe. The bathroom is tiny. Walls are thin and you can certainly hear your neighbors. Staff are cheerful and bartenders friendly. But you need to ask about discounts etc that are part of the purchase. So don’t be shy.

The property is just what you would expect for this area, the room was small but as are most rooms on this area. We really liked how quiet it was yet close to all the action and the walk to the beach was so easy and great amenities to have two chairs and an umbrella included in the room rental. Staff was so kind!

This property is nothing like the pictures. The room we received, booked at USD 700 per night, was in a terrible state: broken tiles, a stained duvet, a broken side table, no hand soap, and a non-functioning phone to contact the front desk. The corridors reeked of unpleasant odors, and the carpets throughout the hotel were heavily stained. The staff were shockingly rude. When we politely raised our concerns about the condition of the room, their response was, “No one is kept hostage here. You can leave the hotel whenever you want.” This suggests they are accustomed to complaints and have a standard dismissive reply, which is unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one charging such exorbitant rates. For a price comparable to the city’s finest 5-star accommodations, this hotel is nothing short of a scam. The cleanliness was appalling, and the level of customer service was the worst I’ve ever encountered. This property should be classified as a motel and adjust its rates accordingly. The images advertised are highly misleading and do not reflect reality. I documented all the issues mentioned and would have attached the photos if this platform allowed it. Avoid this accommodation at all costs—it can truly ruin your trip.

The property is 2 min walk away from the beach. There is a area with chairs and umberellas for the hotel guests. Staff were very friendly. My room was very clean and renovated. There is a very small pool that you can use. They will also give you bikes to use. There is a area on the roof with loungers that you can chill . My only issue was that I wasn't getting proper wifi signal in my room. It was a bit slow but it was still working. If you're looking to have a relaxing stay, this hotel is for you. It is around 10 min walk from the busy restaurants and crowd. I had an amazing time staying here . Not a party hotel so it's perfect for people who want to do some work or families.

Noisy. Equinox gym partnership is a scam.
This hotel had potential, but man did it fall short. The rooms are very nice and spacious and the bar area is super nice. I particularly enjoyed the mojito demo and a pleasant conversation with the barman. The location is also excellent. The 3rd floor is under renovation. The rooms tend to be noisy, from construction, machinery, and music and conversations from the bar, especially if you are above the bar or on the corridor open to the bar area. However, by far my biggest issue with this hotel is the misleading and frankly dishonest advertising of the "free day pass" use of the local Equinox. This is nothing short of a timeshare-level scam. Firstly, I received only one day pass for my 3-night stay, therefore guaranteeing at most a single day of workout. Secondly, when I arrived at the location for my workout, the experience was anything but pleasant. After going through the lengthy check in process, the staff told me, "Ok, enjoy your workout." Then, as I'm walking to the workout area, I hear: "Oh, actually, I forgot. You have to have a meeting with a membership coordinator before you can work out. Is that okay with you?" "It doesn't sound like I have a choice." "It can be as long as you like. 5 seconds or 30 minutes." So I meet the coordinator, shake his hand, say "thank you" and go to my workout. That's what they told me. He then follows me through the gym and becomes confrontational. "Actually this is a thing we're doing with the hotel and you have to meet with me."
