Great location. Remember, it’s just a room.
Pros:

Great location. The restaurant is good and you get a discount if you are staying at the colony. The rooms are clean. Amenities are limited. It’s the location so get out and have fun.

Correcta es la palabra que define mi estancia en el hotel. Buscaba ubicación y la obtuve
Pros:

Gran ubicación. El hotel es muy bonito por fuera. Antiguo por dentro. La habitación contaba con un aire acondicionado de ventana... si cerrabas la cortina tapabas la salida del aire. Para una noche esta bien. Sobre todo por estar sobre Ocean Drive.

Cons:

La refrigeración de la habitación. En verano debe ser insoportable. Insisto para una noche es in hotel correcto. No tuve casi interacción con el personal

Pros:

L'emplacement et la gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

La salle de bain exiguë avec une douche qui fonctionne très mal. Les lits qui font du bruit dès qu'on bouge un peu. Aucune place pour les valises. Ce n'est pas réellement une chambre pour 4.

Fun stay!
Pros:

Israel at the front desk is the best! Very kind, funny and helpful. Fun location near tons of restaurants and right across from the beach! Convenient that there’s a CVS right next door that’s 24hrs. You also get a free Mimosa or coffee with breakfast.
