I stayed here for a three day seminar that was held at the hotel. Check in was smooth, room was well appointed, well maintained and comfortable.
As other reviewers have mentioned, only four floors of the building are for the hotel. The rest of the property is residential.
Wifi was free and strong and valet parking was $18 a day rather than the posted $29. Not sure if this was due to an arrangement with the seminar provider or not.
Visited one restaurant in the hotel. Typical hotel restaurant, but the bar is outstanding. The "mini-mart" on site is very convenient. They open at 7am for a steam table breakfast assortment for a little under $5. Multiple retail shops are on site as well.
Close to several restaurants of various types and a Publix grocery is only a block or so away.
If you stay here, I'd highly recommend NoVe for some really good sushi.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming.
Location about a mile from American Airlines Arena very convenient if you are in town for a concert or Miami Heat game.
Pool and hot tubs on the 10th floor have a great view of Biscayne Bay. Business center and fitness room on site serve their purposes.
There is a trolley stop right across the street if you need some free transportation to the Bayside Market and other stops. The people mover stop is about a block away.
I'm sure if you were coming to vacation in Miami, you would probably choose a hotel on South Beach, but I would certainly recommend this facility if you wanted to save some money as opposed to higher rates 5 miles away.
For the business trip I was on, it was perfect.
