Pros: - All the hotel staff were nice and helpful except for one woman mentioned below in the cons - A short 10-min walk to the beach - Close to restaurants - Clean room and facilities (except for lobby couches) Cons: - They call it a hotel, Expedia gives you the price total price including taxes and fees, but when you show up they tell you it's a resort and charge you a daily $34 resort fee. This was not mentioned on their listing when we booked - The reception woman who checked us in on Sat, Feb 22, 2025 in the afternoon was very rude and had n attitude the in all our interactions. She was annoyed that I asked for beach towels! All other staff were nice. We went out of our way to avoid her. - The room (2 queen for 2 adults and 1 child) was very small. No room to place a suitcase, no chair, no desk, tiny mini fridge for minibar only. All you get is a bed and a bathroom. - The TV in the room wasn't working properly and the rude woman ignored our request to send someone to fix it. She said she would. - The water pressure was so weak in the bathroom, but maybe this is a Miami thing? - There is one elevator, and it was so slow, not even worth taking during housekeeping or check-in/out times. (we were on the 4th floor). - There are two children-size pools (3-4.6 ft deep). Nice for children but not for adults swimming. The water was cold in Feb because they are not heated. - They have tables and chairs in front of the hotel on the street, that are always "reserved".

Unfortunately we had Luke warm shower water. It was really uncomfortable. I called to ask for repair and no one came despite being told they would repair it. One night people were partying so loud blaring music and yelling. I texted management to please call police and I never got a response housekeeping didn’t come in two of the days. I had to get my own toilet paper. The elevator was shut down for one of the days. I asked for a night refund and the offered my free breakfast. This place isn’t well run. I do not recommend it.

Staff at front desk were friendly and welcoming. There are three hotel buildings with this hotel. I was in the Number one building.My room was painted brown and very dark for Florida. Also could have used more lighting. The hot water in the shower was warm but not hot. You had yo fiddle with the faucet to even get warm water. Room was clean. Pool was small in both buildings.

Check in took a long time

When we arrived which was after the check in time, only 1 of 3 rooms were ready and one room was ready until well after 5pm. The room was clean but smelled like mold or musty.

The property was ok, but I wouldnt stay here again. The hall ways and room had a terrible mildew smell. Even worse when running the air conditioning. The bed wasn't really comfortable, but clean. Nothing fancy at all about the lobby. Small and simple. The free happy hour was only 1 free drink then bogo free after the first drink. I guess that's better than nothing, but it's avertised as "free happy hour 5-6pm". Overall the property wasnt worth $900 for 3 nights. I definitely could have stayed somewhre a lot better.

I picked this property because it was advertised as having laundry facilities… it doesn’t. I would have given it a higher rating otherwise. Not wheelchair accessible in all their buildings.

Good location - nice property - friendly staff

Staff were very friendly. Food on site was great - but no free coffee in lobby or room. Nice room - good bed - nice linens. shower water spilled on floor in bathroom and mat got soaking wet both days. Built-in shelves weren’t super helpful to arrange our luggage. Should have a foldable luggage rack (or two) in the room. A hook or two in the room would very helpful as well.
