We are very happy with our stay at The New Yorkee Boutique. Lala, the girl at the reception desk, welcomed us with a nice smile and she was very helpful. She gave us directions to Miami beach (about 15 min from Miami beach) and some food recommendations (Blue Collar restaurant, 2 min walk and the Salsa Fiesta restaurant, 10 min drive).

The rooms were very nice and clean! Housekeeping even puts 2 bottles of water in the fridge every morning. Some reviews complain about noise of cars passing by at night on Biscayne Blvd. To be honest, it didn't bother my sleep so for me it really wasn't that big of a deal.

A great thing about this hotel is the free breakfast every morning hosted by Charles, our Bahamian friend who couldn't stop smiling (even when it was pouring rain outside).

One thing though that could use some improvement was the wifi reception in our room. I think we were just in a poor reception zone with our room because I got one bar from the breakfast wifi and one bar from the reception wifi. Nothing major really.

Just want to say that Lala, Mimi and Charles were an outstanding team during our stay and for that we want to thank them.

Stylish, comfortable beds, and wonderful service. Mimi, our concierge, receptionist, and local pulse check all rolled into one, was a memorable highlight during our stay. She was graciously patient as we asked our tourist questions and went above the call of duty to ensure that Miami was meeting our expectations with nightlife, food, and shopping recommendations.

I would recommend this hotel to fellow travelers and friends but would forewarn a few things. For one, the walls are thin so light sleepers beware. Another issue was that the TV reception was extremely limited; about 50% of the channels were religious-themed, another large fraction was Spanish-only speaking programming, and the remaining channels were infomercials.

Thankfully, there was CNN but the picture quality, regrettably, was not strong. The internet connection was also disappointingly slow, making it difficult for me to follow upon work correspondence. But, these are minor issues and we spent most of our time outside the hotel. Overall, the beds were soft, clean sheets, on-site free parking, and rodent/pests-free.

Upon our arrival to the motel area I was very hesitant about staying in the area. There were numerous homeless and strange people walking around. My husband checked us in and we headed up to our 2nd story room. My 1st impression was that the room was very retro as described. Unforfunately I was very disapointed in the room.
If you like dirty walls, an air conditioner in a recessed closet, NO dresser, although if you wanted to hang your clothes on the 4 hangers in the closet it would have obstructed the A/C,1 lamp, a bed that creaked every time you moved, a toilet that leaked every time that it was flushed and had a loud squeel at the end, no place to put toiletries in the bathroom (or anywhere else) or an electrical outlet, all tile work grouting that was done as repairs was sloppy and no alternative to down pillows this is the place for you. I would rank this motel as sub-par even to Motel 6 standards.

The hotel is in the process of remodeling. We had a room close to the swimming pool which had not yet been redecorated like the rooms shown on the internet. The room was clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast seved in the morning was great. Transportation from and to the airport is available for $20.00. They are in the process of obtaining permission to drop off at the port. We took a taxi from the hotel to the port and the fare was only $15.00. Excellent hotel for the price and location.
