The location for the hotel cannot be beat. It’s right on Ocean Avenue and a two minute walk to South Beach. The staff are very friendly and they can arrange tours of Miami and even help set up rentals for scooters and bicycles. Two free bottles of water in the room and they gave us a beautiful breakfast. Nothing not to like about this hotel.

Spacious room. Very clean. Great outdoor seating area and little to no street traffic.
Libby A, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was across the street from the beach access. The ocean was visible from our room. The bar and pool were at another property behind the hotel, at a sister hotel, a short walk through an alley. The pool closed at 8pm, we were unable to use it as we arrived around 7pm, so I cannot comment on that. Room was clean, had everything we needed. Front desk staff was courteous and helpful, especially arranging valet pickup on arrival.
