Seriously, I have nothing bad to say about this hotel, even if I look at it through a magnifying glass. The rooms are big, modern and very clean. The inner courtyard is very nice in a Japanese style with water pools and bamboo. The location is excellent; Collins Ave is two steps down the road and the beach as well.... More

My friend and I just stayed there and were very impressed by the customer service, the decor, the amenities, the location and the price; All the staff we dealt with was outstandingly helpful, friendly and really made us feel at home. The decor was adorable in a zen-minimalist way complete with a lovely hallway decorated with fountains and bamboo trees.... More

What blew me away about this property was the location & service by the concierge/front desk agent, Mr. Michael Evans. I have worked in the luxury hotel business for almost six years, and Mr. Evans truly delivered superior service during my visit. I first dealt with him on the phone about a week before my stay, Mr. Evans notated all... More

This hotel has great intentions, but could use another 200k in renovations....Fix up bubbling walls, water damage, plumbing, new doors/keys, lighting, install a bigger pool.... Here's how I feel about my stay: STAFF: Can't complain about the staff. The girl who checked us in was very friendly and those we met in the hall were also very sweet. HOTEL ROOM-... More

Really chill hotel with huge rooms and good amenities. Everyone at the front desk was super nice. Especially Sasha, she's a rockstar! Would definitely stay here again when I'm back in the South Beach area.

We came for a recent vacation and thought this hotel was great. Excellent location, clean, modern, and very affordable! The location was what we loved the most besides the fact that it was very clean. We were in walking distance of Everything! Which was perfect because nobody wants to constantly have to spend money on cab fare. The only downfall... More

This place has a very interesting layout. It's a giant square with a courtyard, but every room is private and very trendy. That enables people to be very social but not crazy. The location can't be beat. It's right next to Lincoln road and runs parallel to Collins Ave.
