    Didn’t have continuous hot water for showers;early access but had to pay and would have been nice to enjoy the beach amenities since had to pay for 2 days resort fees

    Location was terrific to access Ocean Dr, the beach, the boardwalk

    Was very dated in the bathroom. Water pressure was rubbish and shower wasn’t hot. The bathroom had mould too. Door lock was an electronic one which broke so had to get an actual key. And paying extra for the beach charge was a bit annoying as didn’t even use it.

    Was close to the beach and restaurants, airport.

    This US ploy to rip off more money by charging a “Resort Fee” needs to stop. It’s clear that it merely allows the property to appear to be better value than it actually is. $30pp/pn. This fee should be added to the price quoted by Booking.com so that people see the real price - not buried in small print way down the screens.

    Jay the receptionist was brilliant. He really made the stay for us. Great location. Comfortable room and bed.

    Great little quiet friendly hotel in South Pointe near the main drag and the beach
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Cute little place, comfry, friendly, and great location - only a block down from 5th and 2 blocks over from Ocean Drive, the start of Lummus park and the main strip of South Beach. Being just off the main streets and in the South Pointe neighborhood meant it was quieter at night, which is nice. The rooms were surprisingly quiet, since many of the old Art Deco buildings can have poor sound insulation, but we slept well. Had all the essentials. Bonus was the free Miami Beach trolley stops right outside, so it's easy to get to anywhere in Miami Beach, and the bus over to/from downtown Miami is just a block up at 5th and Washington Ave.

    As other mentions, the bathroom was janky with broken doors on vanity. The bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed. Our room was missing a coffee maker and we didn’t get it until the second day. We were on the first floor and could hear everything above us.

    Location is awesome! Walk to beach, stores, dining etc. right in front of trolley stop. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Workers were great. Complementary happy hour every night. The room was really clean.

    Big minus is poor water pressure and no steady hot water. It goes for two mins then running cold. You have to do some tricks to keep it running hot. Again, hard to regulate. Hard to wash my long hair or if you have kids… Resort charges 30$ per person fee for a chair on the beach and umbrella. You can rent it yourself for $15 each so still $45 for a couple. But hotel gives you towels and beach toys for kids. That’s convenient

    Property is smaller than on pics but not a bad thing. It’s hardly any rooms/less neighbors/less noise. Super close to beach and restaurants and main drag on Ocean Drive and Collins Ave Coffee in the morning Free glass of wine for happy hour every day We got a king bed and a queen bed and still paid under $200. Plenty of sleeping space Cleaning service every day change of towels making beds super clean Toiletries Mini fridge in the room Big tv Quiet street except few cars at night might wake you up Was lucky with quiet neighbors except one night someone was talking on speaker phone loud at 3 am Easy to regulate ac/heat. Needed both during stay Has a comfortable blanket and couple robes Friendly staff. There are 3 people taking turns but 24//7

    Very pleasant little hotel with a couple caveats

    While the walls and windows keep the outdoors noise away rather well, the room door does a somewhat poor job of keeping out the noise from the echoing hallway. I didn't encounter any problems during my own stay, but I can see this being aggravating with the "right" kind of neighboring guests. Also note that the $30/pp/day resort fee isn't included in the booking price, you have to pay that separately on the desk.

    The location is extremely convenient with plenty of stuff within walking distance and even more through the trolley stop located right next to the courtyard. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, I arrived some hours before check-in and reception let me use their beach gear while waiting. The room was also very pleasant to stay in, very clean and spacious.

    The bed wasn’t super comfortable but I guess that is more a personal opinion :)

    Great, quiet location 5 minutes walking distance to the beach, away from the crowded / busier hotels where people party. Access to a sunbed and umbrella at the beach is included in resort fees. Public transports (bus and the free trolley) stop just by the hotel which is very convenient. Well equipped bedroom and friendly and helpful staff. I recommend!

    great staff and locale, just seemed like some of the products (shampoos, soaps, etc) were re-used. also, our comforter was too stiff, and we weren’t sure if it was too much starch or what. for a daily “resort” fee for both of us, I expected more with these details.

    staff, location, space, cleanliness, and the beach access were all great

    The rooms could use an update. There is no overhead lighting making it very dark, even in the day. We had to prop open the bathroom door and open all the curtains just to see what we were doing. Also, our room was very damp and musty smelling. I know it’s humid in Miami but this was not good. The toilet paper was damp, our clothes were damp, the floor was damp.

    This is a very cute European style hotel. In fact most guests seemed to be European. The staff are very nice, if overworked. The patio is lovely and there is an evening happy hour (well, glass of wine). The location is perfect. Just a short walk from numerous good restaurants, the beach (with dedicated loungers and umbrellas) and the night life if Ocean Ave if that’s your thing. And, it’s just far enough away if sleeping is your thing! Oh and the price is VERY reasonable!
