Séjour mitigé dans un hôtel bien situé
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé pour profiter des environs. Les vélos, les transats de plage et le restaurant sont de vrais atouts, avec une très bonne cuisine et un serveur du matin compétent et attentionné.

Cons:

La chambre nous a déçus : lits inconfortables avec matelas affaissés, grille de ventilation sale et salle de bain beaucoup trop petite. La piscine est également vraiment minuscule.

Dessa vez o quarto decepcionou
Pros:

Localização ótima, funcionários sempre gentis e solícitos. Os quartos têm um bom tamanho, cama confortável, bem equipados. Tem cadeira e barraca na praia.

Cons:

O quarto dessa vez tinha vários problemas. Número 327. Um barulho constante vindo da ventilação, que parecia uma pessoa roncando 24 horas por dia. A porta também estava com problema e precisava de um empurrão para trancar. Uma das cortinas não abria, estava travada.

A one night stay that was okay.
Pros:

We booked because we liked the location next to Miami beach, as it was a 1-block walk to the beach. The hotel is a quaint offering, some uniqueness to the hotel as it looks antiquated. Appearance was nice inside and out. They have a bar with unique drinks and house beers, not offering any other beer than that. But, the beer was good nonetheless. The bathroom was pretty unique, as the shower and the main floor was one without a curb. It all flowed to the drain. Something you would like in your own house.
There was also a small grocery market to grab food for the beach, and a popular restaurant (Big Pink) that were both within walking distance.

Cons:

The room that we stayed in had a known problem with the bathroom sink, where the mount was coming off of the wall. Also, not enough shelving or counter space (no counter at all) in the bathroom for toiletries. The bed and pillows were not as comfortable as desired. Even though most of the hotels in the area were high priced because of location to the beach, this was a bit overpriced.

Good hotel and location
Pros:

Great location, close but not in the noisy tourist section. The Superior Suite is a good size for Miami Beach, comfortable bed, clean, nice hotel, good staff - and only a few steps to the beach.

Cons:

Valet can take a while to bring the car. Room is sealed, so have to use air conditioning.
