    The only concern was the air condition made a loud clinging nose when it came on and there it was running but we were more than happy to work through that because we had air. Everything else was absolutely wonderful!

    I love the location and the quick access to the beach and near by stores!

    Can't say I didn't like but rooms are small it is a 30's hotel . Views to beach nice (304) .AC vent in bathroom limited so smelt like turkish steam room best leave door open when out.

    Location , wanted art deco Hotel so fitted. Food was very good, somewhat limited but that was there pitch - quality..views from room 304 great. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Noise yes its a busy road but this hotel is close to South end so quieter.

    Honestly nothing. Breakfast was great, staff excellent and location ideal. We had a v small room at back but given price we paid we were happy with that.

    Style of the property & location are fabulous. Exactly what you want when staying in Sth Beach. Also it was well managed and very clean.

    Not much. Inevitably the age of such hotels means that some doors and furniture / fixtures may appear weathered, but the hotel is kept cleaned and well-maintained. Minimal warm food at breakfast ie scrambled egg and sausage patty. The rooms are not awash with electric points but there was a spare under the bedside lamp. Hanging space is basic and compromised by ironing board, safe and fridge, although these are all useful

    Loads … I was greeted by Camilo, who is a class act: elegantly attired, reassuringly experienced, helpful and gracious at all times. The rooms and common areas were meticulously cleaned and the prices sensible for a decent art deco hotel. Pleasantly surprised that two small bottles of water are placed in the room daily. The dinner menu varied and reasonably enough priced compared with others on Ocean Drive (and they haven’t succumbed to using gaudy menus with colour photos!). Compact but nice bar in the front and evening guitar entertainment outside. Breakfast selection was straightforward, but enough. Always fresh apples, oranges and bananas as well as a good selection of bagels, bread and croissant - it was overseen by a lovely lady. Beach towels are available on request, as are foldable chairs to avoid the extortion of the beach hire crews! My room had a small fridge which was effective and helpful. Bathroom and shower all fine. Bedding crisp and looked quite new.

    Fantastic place to stay and play in South Beach!

    Really nothing to complain other than the money you have to spend for an overnight. Rates could be more reasonable. 1.600$ for 3 nights is way too much for a 3star hotel, even we had the nice frontline sea view; understanding it´s the Ocean Drive and an iconic Art Deco Hotel.

    Great (if not the best) place to stay and play in South Beach. It´s obviously an iconic hotel/building and the Staff is really friendly and supportive. We have nothing to complain. The included breakfast is ok. They offer croissants, muffins, toast, jam, a nice joghurt where you can take oranges, apples making it nice. Filter-Coffee, tea and water is also included. We´ve been with our 2 kids (10/16) and they enjoyed everything. Also the restaurant is highly recommended but pricy. We paid for the 4 of us (2 adults with 2 kids) 370$ and we didn´t go crazy at all with what we ordered (kids were also only drinking water). On a separate note: I know tip has to be given and we are more than happy to do so, but found it not professional when getting the bill with automatically having 20% tip added.

    Hotel is great. Personal was really nice and helpful. Room was clean and in a great condition. Breakfasts are excellent.
