Ottima posizione, brutta esperienza
Pros:

La posizione centrale

Cons:

Albergo davvero fatiscente. Le camere sono molto piccole e il bagno è talmente angusto da rendere difficile persino muoversi. Per avere l’acqua calda bisognava lasciare la doccia aperta per 5-10 minuti e, durante l’utilizzo, il bagno si allagava. La camera, inoltre, aveva un forte odore di muffa e marcio, che sembrava provenire anche dal condizionatore. Esperienza decisamente negativa e struttura che necessita di una seria manutenzione. Il personale però era amorevole e simpatico. 5 stelle per loro

Memorable stay at the heart of Ocean Drive
Pros:

Excellent location on Ocean Drive; fantastic art deco property in historic area. Super cool. Felt right at the heart of the action; though hotel was quiet. Valet parking great. Reception and front of house exceptional.

Cons:

Internally, the hotel rooms are basic and a bit dated. Though clean and tidy, the air conditioning is an older system and the family rooms where compact for a family of 4. For an overnight, it was entirely fine. For a longer stay, we may have wanted more space.

Fantastic stay with top-notch service!
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location is absolute top—right near the beach and perfectly situated. The staff are super friendly and always ready to help. The breakfast was mega delicious, and being able to grab hot meals for lunch or dinner at the hotel was a huge plus. We also loved the extra touches, like having beach towels, chairs, and toys available for use. Plus, having a convenient parking garage nearby made everything stress-free. Highly recommended!

Vrij kleine kamers voor gezinnen, zonder zicht op zee. Aanhebben ze toch enorm hun best gedaan om het zo comfortabel mogelijk te maken.

Pros:

Die Lage super, der Geruch sehr sehr angenehm im Eingangsbereich und im Flur. Der Fahrstuhl kult.

Cons:

Das Zimmer sehr sehr klein, man kann nicht mal einen Koffer öffnen. Es riecht im Zimmer sehr nach Chlor. Das Badezimmer auch in Mini Format. Und von der Aussicht ganz zu schweigen🥴.
