Staff was terrible. No one at front desk. Not enough towels in the room and no response from desk. Not enough pillows, again no staff response. Room was worn out and not very clean. Sofa bed was terrible. I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

Nice room, very clean in simple art deco style. View of the back alley & bins, but that was fine as I hadn't paid for ocean view. Nice modern bathroom. Perfect location and an iconic building. I liked having the restaurant on site, but also the choices along Ocean Drive. My main disappointment is how disinterested the staff were. No smile or hello as you passed reception, which made it feel quite anonymous & unwelcoming. But overall a pleasant stay.

Room was clean and standard for American coastal hotels. Location is fantastic as it right in the heart of the strip on miami beach. Check in was fine and easy. The only down side is the house keeping which is to say patchy. Our room was fine clean and ok but it had a huge coffee maker but no coffee pods or utensils left with it meaning a call down to reception. Some pods arrived which we used then the same happened on the second night of our stay Once is a mistake twice is poor service standards

The room needs some work...especially in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The HVAC needs work. Set for heat and it was just blowing cold air. The location was ver good...in the heart of SoBe. The check-in and check-out was OK. The attendants could be a little nicer. A smile goes a long way!

The hotel is quite outdated. The room itself had issues like the bathroom door not closing, and the flooring was damaged. The hotel also doesn’t have all the amenities it claims to.

Lovely room, very clean and comfortable Access is through an ice cream shop to the elevators which was a bit strange but fit with the vibe of the area! The bar downstairs was awesome with great entertainment Everything was walkable and this property is right across the street from the beach and a short walk to Versace property and the hotel on the birdcage Would definitely stay here again!

I know it's an historic building - that's the charm. But the tiles in the shower were sloppily grouted - they felt weird and looked gross. The bathroom vanity was warped and falling apart near the floor. Our AC vent left a puddle on our floor. I cleaned it up once thinking we dripped out of the shower. Found it two more times before I finally just left a towel on the floor. It's a little convoluted getting to the room - not a huge deal until you run to CVS at 8:30a and they decide to... I guess deactivate your room key because they assumed we checked out? While it's a minor thing we arrived SUPER early on check-in day, left our bags and explored, per my plan. We came back around noon absolutely drenched from rain, which I hadn't planned for but obviously no one's fault. Asked about early check-in and were shrugged off. While we were trying to shift into warm, dry sweatshirts in the lobby, the guy at the desk literally VOLUNTEERED early check-in to the people who arrived next. Super rude.

The area itself was loud. Bumping music. All good, just something to note. The pool is very small. Beach across the street. They were out of chairs at the hotel but did provide towels. Drinks are. Expensive! 4 drinks was $90 😡. Lights didn’t work day two but was rectified quickly. Staff was great. Not sure I’d stay there again.
