No recomendable
Pros:

Me gusto la amabilidad del personal y la ubicación

Cons:

La gran falta de higiene. El colchón tenia algún tipo de insectos que me causaron picores y escozor durante la noche; y en los días posteriores sarpullido. Por ese motivo decidimos cancelar la reserva y solamente dormí en el hotel la primera noche.
Por suerte solamente me cobraron dos noches. El hotel debería cambiar el colchón mas cercano a la puerta de la habitación 212. Y Booking.com debería responder con mas agilidad en la devolución del dinero cuando el motivo de la cancelación se debe a la afectación de la salud del huésped por falta de higiene del hotel. Mi fallo es que yo no avise al hotel de la razón de marcharme después de la primera noche por miedo a que Booking.com no me devolviera el dinero de las noches no utilizadas; dado que no hay un teléfono de contacto con Booking.com para este tipo de emergencias.

Geniale Lage, Miami Beach Lifestyle pur
Pros:

Die Lage und der Flair direkt im Art Deco Viertel ist genial. Das Hotel ist natürlich weltberühmt nicht zuletzt weil es auch in vielen Filmen immer wieder zu sehen ist. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Man geht vom Hotel raus und ist direkt im Miami Beach Lifestyle. Flanieren an den berühmten Oceandrive entlang, direkt am Strand von Miami Beach, vielen Sportanlagen am Strand inklusive eines Outdoor Gym das ich jeden Tag benutzte.
Alle Sportanlagen sind gratis nutzbar.
Auch die Nähe direkt zum Strand ist erwähnenswert, man geht vom Hotel raus, und kann direkt runter ans Meer zum schwimmen oder chillen am Strand.
Waren echt schöne Tage dort.

Cons:

Zimmer und Betten eher klein.

Nice stay in a great location
Pros:

Location is fantastic! Right across the road from the beach
Staff were very friendly & helpful during my stay & accommodated a very late check in for me, which was appreciated!
The room itself was clean & comfortable, with AC. My room was at the back, so was pretty quiet & I didn't have any issue with noise from the busy strip at the front.

Cons:

The bathroom was perhaps a little dated, although perfectly fine

The breakfast option is serviced by the resteraunt which jointly operates with the hotel at the front - the breakfast voucher gets you an Easy Breakfast (Eggs, Potatoes, Toast & Coffee) which was perfectly fine, very tasty & you could add further things to this (Bacon, Sausage etc) for a fee. Perhaps this could be made clearer when booking though, in hindsight I'd have probably booked without Breakfast & just purchased it from the resteraunt, giving me more options

Super emplacement mais hôtel vieillissant
Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

La chambre était vieille avec des équipement de climatisation bruyants.
Fenêtre face aux fenêtres des cuisines des restaurants d’à côté. Donc rideaux fermés tous le séjour…
Aucun ménage n’a été fait dans la chambre en 4 nuits
