Great location. Excellents accommodations e estaff.
Pros:

Great location, one block of distance from the beach (super clean) and two blocks from a Walgreens supermarket. The area is excellent, with many restaurants, fast foods and shops. The hotel offers free beach services (two chairs per room and beach towels) in the area reserved for guests. Beach umbrellas were available for a fee. The service provided by the staff (Pedro, Gonçalo, and Franco) was exceptional. They were always very thoughtful, friendly, eager to provide information and help with everything. A special thanks also goes to the lady who helped with breakfast and room cleaning.
The accommodations were excellent (there were three of us separeted in two rooms). In the rooms, there was a minibar, a microwave and kitchen utensils, which were very helpful on days when we arrived tired from a trip and it was easier to eat dinner in our own room with something we bought at the supermarket. We felt very comfortable and we will definitely return and recommend it to everyone.

Pros:

Good value for money. Best location close to beach restaurants all South Beach offers, only the room we had was at the front of the building & there was an interconnecting door for another room occupied by noisy guests.
The level of noise in the hotel was higher then any tolerable noise for sleeping or relaxing at night.

Pros:

The walls are paper thin, you could hear everything through the door, house keeping came in the next morning after our arrival without noticing us about it first. We felt like we did not have any privacy. The front desk staff except for 2 staff members were not very nice or welcoming. I would say look around for other places. We found another hotel for the next night as we decided to stay in town and found a much better hotel with a pool for a lower price.

Pros:

This place was just as expected. Walkable distance to the beach, lots of restaurants nearby, room was decent size with a convenient dinner table, a small utility area. The shower water pressure was a bit low,, hot water took a while to come, also we took a while to figure out the way toilet flush worked. Breakfast options were minimal. Staff were very courteous n helpful. We were allowed to keep our luggage there till the evening after we checked out. Overall a good bang for the buck place. Certainly recommended!!

Pros:

Everything was nice in terms of cleanliness, staff, location, and spacious suite except very cramped bathroom. During our stay I was thinking it would be nice to increase the bathroom size by taking 20 sq feet from the kichenette just to improve the guest experince!

Pros:

Had mixed experience staying here. There’s no elevator, so carrying large suitcases up the stairs was extremely hard and gave a skeptic first impression. The room was also much smaller than the photos showed and didn’t even have a coffee maker, despite showcasing a “full kitchen” in the ad. However, the occasion more than made up for these little things. The staff were friendly and very supportive. I had an injury incident, and even in the middle of the night, the manager came up, gave us all the help that he could, and out of courtesy, even called us a limo to the airport. So, you get what you pay for and some more because of the staff!
