    I think it is a bit over priced for the location and amenities. Other places at the same price point offer breakfast and a shuttle. However, parking was free and there are no resort fees so it may even out.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean room. Comfortable bed. Nice big remodeled shower. No parking or resort fees. The pool area looked nice but the weather was too bad to use it.

    We were 3 (2 teens and myself) and the only room with 3 beds had a king (great) and a pull out for a mini sofa. My youngest slept in it but with his feet out of the bed and a very poor mattress 😢

    The hotel was amazing!

    No kettle or coffee machine in the room (although coffee was available at the reception all day. It does not feel the same, though)

    The hotel has been refurbished to modern standards, but it retains a very pleasant '50s look. It has a swimming pool and a small but well equipped gym.

    No fridge or microwave in the room. Wasn’t too bad but having to store an actual key in a small vacation pouch, constantly worried not to lose it, was a little much. The charge, if lost, is $100.

    We enjoyed tremendously. The pool is so nice. The rooms are nice. The shower is huge and the bathrobes were a nice touch.

    No blackout curtains, just blinds so the lights from the parking lot was bright in the room. It never got fully dark to sleep. We had to rig up our beach towels over the windows at night to get it mostly dark.

    The location was perfect, only 15 minutes from the airport but a quick uber ride to everything we wanted to do in Miami. We didn't rent a car but e didn't miss it since there were so many great restaurants 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. The neighborhood felt safe walking with my 2 young daughters. The pool was exceptional. Large and quiet with plenty on sun loungers but enough shade to keep you cool also. Rooms were spacious, impeccably clean and well decorated. Rain shower had great water pressure and the shower stall was huge! Staff was efficient and friendly. Set on a busy road but you couldn't hear any traffic noise in the rooms. Pool was set back off the street and surrounded by greenery that made it feel like a secluded resort. It really was a quiet little oasis in the middle of the city.

    I think the place was great, if you want to be very picky, the A/C was rather loud.

    The pool is nice and large I would estimate 20 by 7 mtr. nice pool furniture, pool bar from Thursday to Sunday. The bathroom has a separate toilet which I find a plus, large walk-in shower and nice large vanity. Bed was large and comfortable, also the plastified TV list was very handy. The room interior was ikea-retro which I found very pleasing. Great restaurants in walking distance especially the Italian restaurant NiDo and Jimmy's Eastside diner for a hearty breakfast.

    Vintage place. Good vibe.
    • Leisure trip

    The outside window has a roller blinds, the windows towards the corridor has only venetian blinds. Those venetian blinds did not close enough to keep lights outside. This room was therefor way too light during the night. Suggestion: add a roller blind or dim the lights in the corridor during the night.

    Loved this vintage motel in Memo. The entire street is a bit of a nostalgia lane with The Vagabond as the master piece. Nice and big room with huge bathroom area. Really loved the vibe of the place especially around the pool. Make sure you spend some time there. Lots of excellent restaurants at walking distance. For instance go for breakfast or lunch to the two places just across the street or Jimmy's Diner. The person that commented there was no food in the street clearly made no effort to look outside. There is a great Greek Diner with a lovely terrace touching the motel. This area is trendy, away from the over touristy places. It is close to Wynwood, the Design District and at walking distance from Ironside.

    The sound as mentioned above. But it was not overwhelming.

    The staff was courteous and the room/apartment and facility was kept clean and nice. The proximity to the airport was not a big deal, as there were few departures and arrivals. Similarly, the road between the area and the ocean was pretty busy but not a nuisance. I am planning to go back, I really enjoyed the place!

    The door didn't lock automatically. There's not much to do in the neighborhood except some really excellent places to eat. The heat from the dehumidifier was a bit much but it was nice to have one in the room. I dumped it twice in the one day we stayed.

    The room looks just like the pictures on their website - no extra enhancing. It has well done vintage charm without being old or worn down. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The pool is nice and it was refreshing to see an actual deep end that was more than 5 feet. Huge shower. I liked the floor mats next to the bed - with the terrazzo floor, that's a nice touch and I wish more hotels with tile floors would do this. The price was fantastic.
