We got to the hotel around 0900, asked for an early check in, if possible. Front desk lady said they’re fully booked, but if something comes up, they will let us know. Around 1200, they informed us that they over booked by 18 rooms and we had to change locations. It was 10 blocks away from our friends we wanted to stay near, but all hotels on the strip were booked. They gave us 2 “pent houses” at one of their sister hotels, but they use “pent houses” loosely in Miami. It was a run down hotel, elevator only went to the 4th floor, so we had to carry our 5 suite cases up two flights of stairs. Water was leaking from ceiling with large puddles inside and outside of each room, called maintenance, no change. Needed shower shoes for showers, rusty old, balconies were questionable to stand on. Hotel staff at both locations, amazing. Hotels not so much. Would not recommend!

The staff at the hotel is very professional and available at all timings even overnight.The room was clean and tidy when we checked in.The hotel location is amazingly convenient to all attractions by bus/uber.Room service was always available whenever we needed it(tried that during the day).Coffee inside in the room is very delicious and we got refills during our stay.Always provided us with clean towels for beach.Pool is not big,not a huge plus for the hotel if you are specifically looking for pool experience.A lot of supermarkets nearby.If you cannot tolerate noise from music you might need to reconsider your stay but would say expect that at all hotels nearby given location in vibrant street in south beach not because of this hotel in particular, it depends on the type of vacation you are trying to have quiet vs fun.Personally we enjoyed out stay there.

Terrible ! We booked & paid a junior suite with balcony through Expedia But was assigned to a one bed standard room with damp smells and very noisy, heard bass loudly all night until 3:30am. One lady and one guy front desk people were very rude. They preferred to provide room to the guest which was not booked from Expedia.

No sleep hotel

Our room faced another hotel across 10th St. they play music from 11 AM to 3:30 AM so loud you cannot sleep at night even with headphones. When I asked to move to a different room, I was told they all are about just as loud. I also asked for earplugs which they did not have. My question is if it’s so loud all the time why not put it in your listing so people know. We love to party, but when it’s time to go to bed, I would like to have some peace and quiet. The room was OK except for the bed was so hard. It was very uncomfortable. They really need to change their mattresses out.
