Overall it was a good stay, the room was decent for the price and area it was in. This was my first time to Miami and so we did want to stay next to the beach. While the hotel could use some upgrades the staff were really friendly and always helpful. The ac was always blowing cold and I loved that I was able to connect my Amazon account in the room to watch my favorite shows when relaxing at the end of the day. Overall, I would stay at the hotel again, I’d just like to try one of their suites to see if that makes a difference and more enjoyable stay. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends.

We checked in shortly after 3pm check in time. Asked for room on 2nd floor or higher. Only double bed room available was 106, right off the lobby. Room small, tight w/2 people, couldn’t image 4! Front desk informed me 2 speak w/desk next morning about room change. Did, told no other rooms available. Checked next day, same reply, but told only rooms w/2 double beds is on 2nd floor. Now day 4, day 5 same answer. Our beds where your head laid was right up against the wall that butted up 2 the back of noisy, expired elevator. Plus had family w/children above us that were extremely loud. Pounding noise like dragging furniture one end of the ceiling 2 the other. At least water pressure was very good in the shower. Pool very nice!

I found the breakfast too limited. Not enough fruit (only apple, banana, and orange). It lacked a proper Nespresso-type coffee machine for a decent cup of coffee, and also cheese and cold cuts. but also Nutella or jam for the pancakes.
