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!
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.
Unique hotel rich in history and right in the heart of south beach miami experience. Walkable to anywhere. Excellent beach access, paths for bikes and walking. Penthouse had stunning views!
