The water was a hazard. When stepping from the soaked carpet on to tile it was extremely slippery.

Great location- that’s all though
Aug 16, 2025Travel52806774083
Great location right on South Beach. Right in the centre of entertainment. However music was so loud nearby the room shook with the bass. Loud until 3am. WiFi not working and shower warm at best. If you are looking for a chilled out break then avoid. If you are partying til the early hours give it a go
Loud, feels unclean, staff unhelpful.

DO NOT BOOK this hotel if you enjoy sleep, we didn’t even last 12 hours in this hotel after turning up on our honeymoon trip before having to shell out even more money to move to a different, nicer, cleaner hotel just to be able to enjoy our Miami experience. This hotel is fine if you want a piss up and to barely sleep but otherwise it feels unclean and it’s wedged in the middle of nightclubs, the nightclub wasn’t even the main problem as our room was at the side of the kitchen where all we heard was plates rattling and staff talking at the top of their voices at 1AM!
After going to reception in the morning and asking to be moved to a quieter room we was just told that was one of the “quiet” rooms and that any other room would be even louder! I dread to think how loud that would have been… the hotel is in need of a spruce up and some triple glazing 😵💫
ALMOST ruined our honeymoon if it wasn’t for us being able to quickly get checked into another hotel which was amazing! Still waiting to try to at least get some of our money back but I’m not being hopeful 🫤

After reading some July reviews we were a little apprehensive but either that was a one off or things have been sorted in a few weeks as our experience was great. The room was very clean and really comfy. The bathroom was great with an amazing shower. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels.

After reading some July reviews we were a little apprehensive but either that was a one off or things have been sorted in a few weeks as our experience was great. The room was very clean and really comfy. The bathroom was great with an amazing shower. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels.
The noise from outside was minimal and didn’t affect our sleep at all
The staff were lovely and very helpful
All in all great value and a great little spot to explore South Beach
