We stayed there for 4 nights. The motel was built in 1953 and renovated since. The stuff is very friendly and helpfull and this is the only strong point.
The motel is located on the US-1 route which is very buisy and noisy. There are some rooms in the back, but those on the front suffer noise. Ear plugs are provided for the gusts to avoid that noise. The motel is far from downtown and from the south Miami attractions like the zoo and the Everglades. Only a frig is provided in some of the rooms. No microwave and no coffee machine. There is no ventilation in the bathroom and there is no window that can be opened, not even on the second floor.
The continental breakfast with an addition of apples and bannanas is not very imppresive. For the $100+ I would expect more.

Really nice and cool place to stay in Miami. A bit expensive and far from Miami beach though. The room was great and the breakfast was good. I suggest you take the bus (L line) from the 74th av. It takes you directly to the great south beach... Oh only disappointment was the pool (not clean).

Wanted to give this place a try after watching Hotel Impossible.
Wi-Fi is free and hardly works in the room. I was on second floor almost directly above the lobby and signal kept dropping.
Complimentary continental breakfast is exactly that... Cereal, limited selections of bagels and OJ.
My bed/mattress was extremely loud. if I moved at all in bed my friend in other bed would wake up and laugh

Before heading out on our cruise, we chose to stay at the New Yorker for three nights. We chose the location because of its easy access to downtown Miami and Miami Beach by transit. We were pleasantly surprised with the New Yorker, the front desk staff was very helpful and our rooms were neat and tidy - very well kept. All in all very good value for the money and very easy to catch the number 3 bus to get to bayside - downtown and Miami Beach.
