Location decent; hotel quality poor
The room did not have a working tv remote, working internet for the tv, or a desk as advertised. Check-in was at 3:00 but the room was not available until 3:30. The breakfast was supposed to last until 10:30. At 9:30, there was very little food remaining.

Good location, basic and comfortable
I can't recommend this hotel. Ocean Drive is closed to cars now which makes it awkward to get you and your luggage to the hotel easily. The breakfast that comes with the room is offered at the hotel next door, it was not very tasty. Better to go to Starbucks across the street. One day I had no hot water in the shower. I was never able to call the front desk, my phone didn't work. Pros: It's clean and basic, the bed was very comfortable. It was quiet. The staff was helpful and pleasant. The location is very nice for walking and getting to the ocean.
