A 21st Century Hotel with a virtual assistant who's still learning
Pros:

The Rover is not a bandb (no breakfast). It's one of those virtual hotels without a staff except a maid in the morning who will make up your room and show you how to close the black out curtain in your room, which, like everything else in the place, is controlled by wireless wi-fi buttons you'll never find unless you're a computer wizz. It took me aboiut 45 minutes to finally get the code that let me in the front door after signing my life away (they assume you're a criminal who's come to steal whatever what you don't destroy). This is really a real estate play in Little Havana that's gentrifying and becoming chic.

Cons:

No staff.

Un hotel pequeño, muy bonito y cuidado al detalle.
Pros:

Muy bonito y cuidado, limpio y con todo lo que puedas necesitar para tu estancia.

Cons:

Se oía mucho las pisada del piso de arriba pero creo que era porque las personas que llegaron por la noche eran bastante ruidosas ya que también hablaban alto por los pasillos.

Excellent and refreshing!
Pros:

We selected The Rover after an extremely stressful travel day with cancelled flights. Immediately we felt better upon arrival. So convenient and had everything we needed! Everything is top of the line. The property even let us have a late checkout due to a late flight the next day. I can’t recommend enough!

Cons:

There’s not a single thing I didn’t like!

A genuinely premium experience — I would absolutely stay here again.
Pros:

An outstanding stay from start to finish. The high ceilings and refined interior design create a sophisticated, contemporary atmosphere. The shared lounge area with a coffee corner and outdoor patio is beautifully designed and perfect for relaxing.

The suite itself was immaculate — ultra-clean, modern, and thoughtfully equipped. The enormous shower, electric shades, and high-quality bed linens added a true five-star hotel feel. Parking right in front of the building was very convenient, and the host was exceptionally responsive and professional.

A genuinely premium experience — I would absolutely stay here again.

Stylisches Hotel mit vielen Annehmlichkeiten
Pros:

Super schöne Unterkunft, sehr stylisch eingerichtet, tolle Idee mit dem großen Empfangsbereich und der Selbstbedienung. Das Zimmer war zwar klein, aber komfortabel, tolle Produkte im Bad.

Cons:

Unter der angegebenen Telefonnummer war niemand zu erreichen, auf Nachfragen habe ich auch keine Antwort bekommen. Zum Glück hat mit dem Checkin alles über die App funktioniert.

Fantastic location, need ear plugs.
Pros:

Fantastic location, decent bed, nice bathrooms and lobby. Was able to store luggage after check out. Nice staff (Spanish only, used Google translate).

Cons:

Lacks noise protection. Neighborhood is quiet at night, there are roosters in the morning. Hallways echoes, there's a large gap at the bottom of the entry doors that let in light and noise, we put a towel to muffle some noise. There's a loud 30s tapping (plumbing?) every hour or so, so bring ear plugs. I didn't mind it (heavy sleeper), but my spouse had trouble sleeping. I personally would love to rebook it, but my spouse would not.

Lets not give our money to robot hotels
Pros:

Excellent location near Calle Ocho in the heart of Little Havana. Rooms were well furnished with mid-century modern style and indoor and outdoor common areas were comfortable and inviting.

Cons:

This "hotel" is a "contactless" or, unstaffed, facility. There are two housekeepers during the day who do their best to assist with any issues, but they are there to clean the property. Most things will require a visit to the very basic website, which also doesn't solve most issues. Calling gets an AI chatbot. With enough persistence, you can be directed to leave a voice mail and an off site manager will call you back. They are very good about calling back promptly, but this phone tag will need to be repeated each time.
I rated the staff so low not because there were issues individual staff members. On the contrary, everyone I spoke with was professional and friendly. I gave the staff such a low rating because this company made a financial decision to eliminate human services that can make an ordinary stay unforgettable. Replacing a traditional front desk with technology might seem preferable to some, but eliminating the human element entirely makes for a cold experience if everything goes perfectly and is highly frustrating if even the smallest issue arrises.
Apparently, there are free bicycles for the guests that are in a locked room that is accessed by housekeeping. I asked one of the two cleaners about renting a bike and was directed to the hotel app (website). The website just mentions that the bikes exist, with no instructions on how to check them out. I didn't feel like making more calls, so I just didn't bother. Thankfully, I did not have any serious issues after hours.
Another major issue I had with online check-in is that I was required to scan my ID and biologics (facial recognition). I found this very intrusive and have no way of ensuring the security of the scans. Since I was only asked after I had paid for the reservation, I was forced to surrender personal identification information. I would not have chosen this hotel had i known I would be required to do this. I am fairly easy to please.
