Given some of the bad reviews noted for this hotel, I was a bit apprehensive to stay at this hotel for my one night stay [November 28th]. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. What a delightful hotel, particularly given the low price I paid for my stay. The pros: [1] Staff, including the front door security guard, check-in/out ladies [I didn't get their names], and both breakfast staff members, including the male waiter. [2] Room, although small, it was a haven--cozy, quiet, and clean [except for carpet--see "cons" comment below]. The room had an upscale feel. The AC worked great, and it didn't make a lot of noise, and the linens and towels were very nice; the bed was comfy. The bathroom was spacious and well-appointed. [3] Breakfast, which was included in my rate, was excellent [the best avocado toast I have had in a long time], and the coffee was fantastic. The setting was pleasant in the hotel's courtyard. [4] Location was perfect for me--in a quiet, semi-residential area of South Beach; yet, in walking distance to everything South Beach has to offer, including the beach [the hotel has a free designated spot on the beach with loungers, etc.], restaurants, shops, clubs/bars, etc., without the noise and chaos that comes with staying at a South Beach hotel. [5] Rooftop pool: I didn't use it; however, it was very nice and quiet when I went up to look at it. The cons: [1] Restaurant/bar--it suddenly closed the only night I was there, and I really did not want to go out for dinner/drinks. It appeared open when I checked in and I even confirmed the open times when I checked in at 4pm. [2] Breakfast times--the restaurant opens at 8am for breakfast, which is a tad too late for me, as I'm an early riser. [3] Parking--they only have valet parking for $40, a bit steep. Fortunately, I know South Beach very well as I live about 5 miles away. Therefore, I parked at one of Miami Beach's public lots on 17th street, about a 12-minute walk to the hotel. It's open 24-hours/day, and it was $20. It's a large garage and I felt my car would be safer there overnight vs. valet parking on the street. [4] Room carpet needs to be replaced as it's worn and past its useful life. [5] Overnight front desk staff member [male] did not even acknowledge me when I came back to the hotel around 1130pm. Note: none of the cons would keep from staying at this hotel again. I plan to book another staycation there again soon.
