Pros:

It could have been a much better stay-the check in was quick- great point! The staff was friendly. My problem was when we got to the room, there were no towels except one wash cloth. There are no phones in the rooms. I called and left a message. We didn’t get towels until 10 pm- apparently there was some issue with their service. They actually had a full sized bathtub. I was so excited until I couldn’t get the plug to go down.
They have a restaurant on the premises which offers a 15% discount if you stay at the hotel. The food selection is limited. If you want only American food- they offer pizza. I had the pork street tacos which were delicious in my opinion.

Pros:

The photographs are not the same as in person. The place is depressing and old, it smells bad, there are insects, and the price is very high for a place like that.

Pros:

2/3 staff interactions were very pleasant, the area was ok, pretty loud, and homeless people around. Nice Cuban coffee within walking distance. Room was cleanish and comfortable, but a bit crusty. Had to move rooms and the second room was much nicer.

Pros:

Heres a sincere review of this little hidden gem, as my best friend and I have now stayed there twice before our virgin voyages cruise the next day— and plan to every time in the future.
This is where you want to stay in downtown Miami if you don’t mind a little bit of the upscale hostel feel. From the moment you step into the little front office, which is nothing special, it is absolutely a welcoming and warm feeling of simplicity and character over extravagance and stuffiness. Buildings are arranged in a beautiful garden, outdoor picnic tables, and chairs in a lawn area to just chill or kick around soccer or other lawn games…. and they just recently added an awesome outdoor bar and little restaurant area that serves tapas from an outdoor stone oven.
We can’t say enough about this place. It is absolutely reminiscent of little Havana, and brings so much joy. It has recently been renovated in the last six months to a year and someone had put a lot thought into the landscaping with all types of tropical flowers, orchids, palms and plants hovering around and above…a little hidden slice of paradise.
Couple of small feedback suggestions for improvement: filters in the ceiling were both filthy and almost black, lack of additional towels provided in the bathroom, television remote needed batteries, tub was clogged and did not drain properly/filled with water while showering, better coffee and water situation in the main office 🙂
Killer outdoor bar and restaurant newly added!!!!

Great location and friendly staff
Pros:

Got a top floor room in the blue house. Comfortable bed, good amenities, & great location. Only downside was no mini fridge. Check in was a breeze and front desk staff was prompt & welcoming.

Pros:

The workers were very friendly, the bar area was very cute, drinks were very pricey. The pool closed very early. The room looked much different than what was expected. It was mostly clean but a little run down. There also was no hot water in the shower.

Pros:

If you are looking for corporate amenities, this isn’t your spot. But if you want somewhere unique, with an amazing vibe, fun staff and a cute bar, this is the spot. It was super easy to get to Little Havana and walking distance to the river front. It was a really great stay!

Horrible stay
Pros:

There was hair and blood stains on the sheet. There was hair in the shower. The keyless entries were sounding alarms all night from other people having trouble getting in the rooms kept me up all night. Had a horrible night of sleep and the train all night when I asked to speak to a manager, they would not let me speak to a manager. I would like a refund. I stay there one night and had to book a hotel for a second night and double my cost because I refuse to sleep there a second night. I only reserved The second night through hotels.com.

Oasis in downtown Miami
Pros:

Upon Arrival I spoke to a wonderful gentleman Adrian I believe he told me his name was . I wasn’t sure of staying there as I have had bad experiences other places , in Miami . He gave me a tour of property and showed me various rooms . Check in was seamless and Quick and Easy . Room was antique and fantastic . The pool was clean and quiet. It has an old school Miami/ Key west feel. I will definitely be returning

A true Miami experience! We loved it’s charm and historic feel.
Pros:

Upon arrival we immediately fell in love with the place. Its tropical charm reminds me of Key West. The Miami River Inn is perfect for a scenic, relaxing getaway. Bring your travel kit to ensure you have everything you need during your stay. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the reception office that is open 24/7. We will stay here again!
