The hotel was more than accommodating - my flight landed at 10:30, and the hotel was able to offer us a super early check in. The hotel didn't have lots of bells and whistles - a little store or cafe would have been nice, but there were tons of places around to get food and amenities. The pool was clean, the beach chairs could use a facelift, but there was nothing wrong with them. The room I was in (the writer's suite) was gigantic, lots of space, closet space, sufficient lighting, the king size bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, towels were clean. I loved the full length mirror on the inside of one of the closets. The staff was extremely friendly, greeted us each time we walked in, gave us beach towels (the beach is only about a block away), and called a cab for the airport when I checked out. The location is hard to beat - a block away is Ocean Drive, where there's an abundance of activity, stores, and restaurants. On Collins itself there's a Walgreens only about a block away and a few liquor stores as well as little souvenir shops and restaurants. Great experience!
