This place was a smelly dump. Beds were old, extremely uncomfortable and the tile floor had a somewhat greasy feel to them. Even backpackers should avoid this hole. More

I don't care how cheap you are trying to go for your trip to Miami - this is exactly where you dont want to stay. Everything sounds fine until you get there. Charges for rollaway beds that are not mentioned when you call to book, free continential breakfast until you get there in the morning and they offer toast and... More

Very nice hotel with good Russian restaurant. The hotel has its swimming pool and nice beach place. But it is rather far from the city center what economizes money . You can take bikes or go by taxi to the center. it also has not an expensive parking which is very good. Nice rooms view. More

Having read other reviews my travelling companions and I were worried at what we would find. There was no need to worry as the hotel was very basic but clean and the staff friendly. The room easily accommodated 3 adults with room for the shopping we did and rearrangement of suitcase contents! The breakfast was basic but for $8 this... More

I did like the hotel. Before booking it, I checked the pictures that other travellers took, so nothing came as a suprise. I knew that the rooms and furniture are old and dated but it is not my priority when choosing a hotel. It was clean, with plenty of light, and - what is really nice - a kitchenette with... More

We stayed at the hotel for 1 night before heading off on a cruise. The hotel was part of the package we booked so we had no choice. Arrival was eventful as they weren't expecting us. We had the booking from our tour operator and after speaking with the manager (who we didn't see) we were eventually checked in. Not... More

We spent 4 nights at this hotel we had such an amazing time, that we decided to extend it 2 more nights. We had two rooms adjoining Ocean View with balcony on the 8th floor. Coming down from Toronto we wanted the ocean and the heat. Really didn't care about anything else. Before we left I did read all these... More

The rooms are really old and dated. I was on the 5th floor and as you walked out of the elevator it was just very dreary looking. I was astonished to find there was no shower curtain in our bathroom (how on earth does a hotel get away with this?). As a result there was always water on the floor... More
