Excellent hotel, clean and friendly in the heart of Ocean Drive
Pros:

Right in the middle of the Art Deco area. There was a great atmosphere at night. Easy to walk along Ocean Drive from this hotel and to get to the beach just across the road. The rooms were very smart, WiFi good, and generally staff were excellent. I would stay here again.

Cons:

One staff member let the team down. We checked in on Saturday and the guy on the desk was excellent. Welcoming and told us what we needed to know. The reception person during the day in Saturday was also very good. Unfortunately the person on the desk on Sunday evening was not very good at all. I went to the desk around 930pm on Sunday evening and the guy was looking at his phone. He didn’t bother looking up so I interrupted him which I don’t think he liked and asked him whether you could access the round room at the top. His reply was “No, it’s just a light”, then went back to his phone. Sorry i disturbed you…..

20's & 30's Elegance meets modern tat.
Pros:

Location! Near the beach and the room towels can go to the beach where loungers are reserved for you. The room was clean, tidy and functional and the tea, coffee and water were replenished on day two, unexpectedly!
A good night time scene if you like that kind of thing.
We booked South Beach to see the Art Deco buildings and old cars.....see don't likes!

Cons:

All the fronts of all the buildings, that we could see, were covered in restaurant tables, chairs and signage with boom boxes blaring out "music" with girls on the sidewalk hasseling you to eat there. The cost of drinks was exorbitant, $56 for two drinks!
This hotel, and probably others in the area, only has valet parking at $50 per night

Clean & Friendly. Great location!
Pros:

We were there during the FIFA World Cup festivities in June. The street in front of the hotel was blocked off/closed to traffic which made taking an uber or ordering DoorDash difficult. But we found the hotel clean and friendly. The front desk staff was pleasant and accommodating. The elevator is very small and the rooms are on the smaller side, albeit tidy. We enjoyed the location and the ease of finding restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
