Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Location and beach access was the highlight. Our room was decent, but the hotel itself needs some tlc. The pool area and outdoor lounge areas were very underwhelming. The vibe of the hotel wasn’t great.

William at guest services was AMAZING. SO friendly and helpful. Always smiling, offering suggestions. Just genuinely such a kind, professional young man. The hotel had some really cool aspects to it. The elevator is so cool, the outdoor area is beautiful!!! I don’t know why the foyer to the newer sides has such a STRONG pet odor? But it’s really bad. They’ve tried to cover it up, but please ya’ll get some ozone machines in there! The elevator in the newer area also smells REALLY bad. Pool area is as nice, but the size of the pool means it was actually VERY WARM, not refreshing at all. It was pretty, but HOT. The upgraded room we got was nice. Lack of lighting made it hard to see at night when trying to find things in luggage. However we couldn’t figure out how to turn off a light in the bathroom that bothered my husband all night. I slept fine. Room was clean. Door did not seal properly, so noise was definitely an issue, and it made me concerned about rodents and bugs being able to get through the cracks. I really enjoy supporting boutique hotels if possible, I’d give this one a 4/10 overall. But William’s service 10/10. You have to Valet park for $45/night. Which I think is steep given the hotel isn’t that nice. There is street parking available metered but it would be more than $45. So we got to spend $45.

Construction on rooftop starts every morning 9:30am during my stay, very loud and unbearable. So there is no way to stay in bed late. In Miami I am actually on my vacation, but I woke up early everyday. Did not complain this to the manager of the hotel, cuz the staffs here are welcoming and friendly, and this is not something that they can decide. But will not consider to stay here again for next visit.

Very cool location. Staff is among the best hotel staff I’ve ever seen. Will at the front desk was great. We had an issue with the AC in our room. He moved us to a suit and gave us complimentary drinks. He don’t make excuses and simply apologized and explained the age of the building and that at time ACs can be an issue. He went out of the way to assure a good stay. Will, great job!!! Keep in mind, this is an 80 year old building. Not a Hilton from 2018. The setting, the staff, the location and the history, made this one of the most unique hotel stay I’ve ever experienced. I will definitely be back!!!
