I very much like this hotel. The location was perfect. I like to be in the middle of things. It was also quiet but plenty of action just outside the door. I have stayed in a lot of hotels in the art deco district. I would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful view at the rooftop pool just behind the hotel
Beautiful location on Ocean Drive
Artwork in Lincoln Road. This is made up of thousands and thousands of little duckies.

Art Deco. Great location. Loud area but the window AC unit helped to white noise and did not notice it at night. Friendly staff for check in. No issues.

Loved the breakfast that was included and the area was perfect location to the beach.
1-night trip

8/10

The hotel is well-maintained, the room was clean and comfortable. It is very close to the beach with easy access to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. Even being on a busy area, we didn’t hear noises from the street, as our room was facing the side of the hotel. The AC, however, was noisy and made it difficult to sleep at night. The parking on the nearby area is also a challenge and the valet parking service provided by the hotel is very expensive. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

Mike and the front desk staff were awesome. Very helpful, thorough and accommodating. It was my first time traveling with my 10 month old, so I had requested a side crib through the booking. When I checked in, Mike acknowledged it was already set up in the room without having to reconfirm myself. Suggesting to stay hydrated with their water bottle service. Everyone was very professional and likeable :)

My stay was great. The staff both night staff and day staff was very accomodating and knowledgeable with recommendations. I arrived late for a 24 hour lay over in Miami and they held my luggage and gave me a towel to use at the beach across the street and at the pool next door.
