    The property was great and right in the heart of South Beach.

    Hotel entrance is through the restuarant / bar area, side door has a tricky sharp incline ramp (injury possible) The Clevelander Hotel & Night club next door which blasts loud music opening to closing (late) getting to sleep was a chore with the music going. (our room was on the Clevelander side)

    Great location smack in the middle of the Art Deco District on Ocean Ave. Beach a short walk across the street. Dining, entertainment, action right outside the door step. Daily housekeeping was fantastic !

    Elevator wasn’t working properly and the front desk staff on the day we checked it was not helpful at all. The man helping with luggage was the last helpful person on the property.

    very noisy all night. (Many people reviewed this. We stayed there anyway because we didn't have any issues with sleeping).

    Location (central at Ocean Drive, Bus Station, Beach, Sightseeing within walking distance). Free Bike rental at the Hotel. (Chains should be oiled more often- a little bit rusty). Free beach towel. Very good Breakfast. Hotel rate for the location is very good.

    The loud music which we enjoyed live until 10:30pm was still present in the "quiet" room until almost midnight. Had an early morning flight to catch without much sleep.

    Breakfast was very good, only thing lacking was fresh fruit. Entertainment as Live Cuban Music was excellent. Restaurant and drinks were top notch!

    Room was large but sparsely furnished. Would have been nice to have a chair or couch in the room. Breakfast was very limited - all carbs.

    Location was good if you want to be in the middle of everything, including noise of nightlife. The room was large and very clean. Chairs and towels were provided for the beach.

    To get to your room you have to walk to the elevator through an ice cream shop attached to the building.

    Location is great. You are able to walk to the beach and a lot of restaurants. Easy to get to from the bus stop.

    The breakfast provided by the adjoining building was average. The hot food was always just warm at best. The area for us was too loud and too busy. I would recommend the hotel if you're planning to be in party central and enjoy extremely loud music all around you! Even the place that provided breakfast had loud music playing! We couldn't hear ourselves think

    The room was spacious and clean. The staff were helpful and friendly.
