Just remodeled. Had stayed there a lot previously. Used to be friendlier, now more big city hotel- and different crowd. Welcome now includes popcorn (!) in the lobby. Seriously. Small overpriced restaurant in lobby. Lots of better places right in area to eat. AND be careful not to use the unpriced bottle of water in the room. They charge $3.50 per bottle and won't relent if you dispute it was not marked with price! Nice Best Western right down the street.

Good location, helpful staff, clean. Air conditioning is an individual unit in each room and has an awful sound. The lobby is hideous; the "bistro" takes over the entire lobby, and it is always loud, messy and smelly of louzy food.
The Courtyards with the nice breakfast were MUCH nicer places to stay.

Very nice place. Just short minutes drive to the beach. Conveniently located in the middle of Aventura area, it is close to shops and eateries. Free parking. Large contemporary lobby. Free internet access in the lobby and rooms. Good size rooms. We had two rooms queen and king, it was good for family. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Nice quiet pool area. Very cozy seats and tables outside. Small café with kitchen serves breakfast (not included in the room price) and other snacks, drinks, and food. Many tables in the lobby for work, talk, or eat. Very, very, very nice staff. The front office manager Sofia, front desk clerk Malisa, and everybody else were incredibly helpful, attentive, patient, and ready to answer any questions. We will defiantly recommend this hotel.

The hotel was stylish, clean, up-to-date and very comfortable. The staff was great. It is a short drive to the beaches and Gulfstream Village and Casino. Also, not too far from Ft. Lauderdale, downtown Hollywood or South Beach hot spots. Definitely would stay there again.
