certamente nao voltarei e nem indicarei.
Pros:

A unica coisa boa nessa acompdacao é o local. A localizacao muito perfeita.

Cons:

hotel velho, o chao do banheiro afundando, hotel sujo, um cheiro horrivel, nao tinha um funcionario pra carregar as malas ou nos ajudar, ambiente nada familiar, nos quartos nao tem telefone pra falar com a recepcao. Precisamos saber o motivo do chuveiro nao estava esquentando, tivemos que descer e ir saber com a recepcao. Certamente nunca voltarei nele e nem indicarei.

Loud and Unpleadant
Pros:

Noisy, noisy, noisy. Loud guests and music. Disinterested and unhelpful staff. No attempts made to quiet noise makers or reduce hotel music.

Experiencia muy olvidable
Pros:

Lo unico para destacar es la ubicacion

Cons:

Durante los 4 dias q estuve nunca repararon el ascensor, habia que subir con valijas, bolsos y en mi caso con carrito de bebe por escaleras durante TODA la estadia. Hotel muy ruidoso. Los que atienden en el front desk una mala gana en atender.

Overall: Our girls trip was enjoyable, but due to these issues, we wouldn’t choose to stay at this hotel again.
Pros:

The Whitelaw Hotel was an interesting stay with a few pros but several cons.
Pros:
The location is ideal, the restaurant was amazing, and the staff were very friendly. The room décor was also very nice.
Cons:
The hotel key card kept deactivating, which was frustrating. The front desk only had one person working, so depending on the issue, wait times could exceed 10 minutes. The room had multiple cracks, which felt like a safety hazard. There was no hand soap or washcloths provided, and we had to repeatedly go to the front desk to request basic essentials. Additionally, there were not enough outlets, and the ones available were very loose and could not securely hold plugs. The elevator was not functioning during our stay. I had specifically booked a handicap-accessible room, and as a result I experienced extreme difficulty getting to the room via the stairs. Despite informing staff, we were told that because the hotel was fully booked, no accommodations could be made.
Booking an accessible room comes with the expectation that essential accessibility features—such as elevator access—are available or that reasonable alternatives are provided. There were no microwaves in the room, you must go to the hotel next door.

Pros:

the hotel itself was fine and the staff was helpful. Location was close to south beach.

Cons:

The room next to us had their TV at full volume from approximately 1 am until we left the next morning. this prevented us from being able to sleep all night. Not only could you hear it throughout our room, but throughout the hallway as well.
