the bedsheets were definitely not very fresh (the pillows were washed tho). towels were very small and just super old, almost see through in some parts, shower curtain is just a piece of material so it’s impossible not to flood the bathroom. toilet unfortunately had pee stains on it, meaning wasn’t clean properly. there’s not a lot of lights in the room and also no natural lights since our room had a view of the other hotel. wi fi wasn’t working very well and also wasn’t working at all on the 3rd floor.

this place definitely has a vibe. it’s pretty old and seems like nobody takes care of it but at the same time it’s lovely. staff is so kind and helpful, made us feel very welcomed and answered all of our questions, especially the older man working the night shift. made our night a little better after our long travel. when you get in you get handed your key and the remote control (tv is old and not a lot of channels but still nice to have) room had a fridge and a microwave. there was a lot of space in the room for luggage (even a closet) and the beds were comfortable (even tho one of the beds was slightly broken) there was a hairdryer in the bathroom and some toiletries. no shelves in the bathroom. in the morning they bring donuts and coffee (and allegedly fruits but we didn’t see any) and they’re free to grab (1 for each guest) they let us borrow beach gear and store our luggages for free ac was working

The only criticism: the Wi-Fi was quite slow in our room, but worked perfectly in the lobby. And the air conditioning (which is essential in August) was a little loud for us Europeans. We're not used to that.

My husband and I were satisfied with the hotel. We were looking for an affordable hotel in a very central location. The hotel fully met our expectations. We were very pleased that even though we booked without breakfast, we still got coffee and a doughnut in the morning, which is not always the case. The staff was courteous and friendly, as were the owners.

As above

Very different and original

Beds are very soft and pillows thin but never the less very comfortable. Lacks plug sockets but managed and not a big issue.

Price. $113 for 1 night 2 adults. Very clean, efficient and friendly check in, hot shower, great air con and fan in room too, tv with Netflix app. We were allowed to park car for free (when all around parking is charged at $20 to $50 per day) from 2pm on check in day and leave it there till 3pm on check out day.

Dated hotel. Bed very creeky and noisy. Small double bed. Aircon unit very noisy.

The hotel is in a great location to explore Miami. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, beach.

The place is old, bed, shower and AC weren't really good. I wouldn't recommend staying for many days if you want a minimum of comfort.

Price was fair and location is perfect! Having parking is a big plus.

The older lady at the reception was really rude, condescending and phlegmatic. Like we should ask for apologies to be there..

The location is very good, and the size of the room was totally ok. The room was quiet, and we didn’t have any issue with air conditioning.

Aircon didn’t work, it was just blowing air, but didn’t cool down the room. Water in the toilet would stop working then work again. Rooms and hotel looks run out, but I guess after renovation price wouldn’t be the same.

Free parking was a winner deal for me as I was renting a car. Location is superior and area is very quiet at night, I had a good night sleep. One girl on reception was very sweet and friendly, 2 old men was the opposite.

Some rooms are better than others, but cleaning is not the best and you can hear everything in the rooms. The walls are thin!

Close to everything in South Beach. You stay here because of the location and value for money.

The location was amazing - so close to the beach. The hotel was quirky and we liked the decor. The room was clean and everything worked. The staff were very friendly. The hotel is a bit dated and there are parts that could do with an upgrade.
