We checked in August 31, 2012, we arrived early and asked if possible to check in early but was told no due to cleaning in which was understood. Lilly I believe is her name WAS AWESOME.. She is a asset and hotels need more employees like her in order to want customer wanting to return. Our suite was really nice and updated BUT I wouldn't stay there again only because it is South Beach and I go to have fun and enjoy my time including the time in my room and they complained about our music at 6pm BUT the people down the hall had their music blasted the following day. If that is the rules that is fine and well respected also housekeeping knocked twice didn't give us a chance to answer the door and my husband and I were in bed she just opened the door NOT GOOD!!!!! The two other front desk gentlemen after Lilly were rude.. if I needed anything I just waited for her to arrive AGAIN SHE WAS AWESOME

If you are looking for a quite hotel this is the right one ON CERTAIN DAYS

My husband and I stayed here for three nights on our way down to Key West. The rooms were very spacious and the idea is great in theory. The cleanliness is far below what I would expect for a hotel. I never walked around barefoot as when I went to wipe up some spilled water on the floor, the towel came up black (gross......mop the floors, please.) I stopped at the store to buy some Clorox wipes before I used anything in the kitchen and bathroom. Our view was ridiculous......looked like we were in the middle of crack alley. We kept the curtains closed the entire time to distract from the view. I did check for bed bug evidence and have to say that I did not find any in our room. BUT, I did see a cockroach in the stairway and that was my last straw....we were out of there and on our way to Key West. Front desk help certainly was not the most friendly or helpful. I highly discourage anyone from staying here. My skin still crawls when I think of our stay here.

Started out in a one bed suite when we purchased a 2bed suite and did not get a 2bed suite till the following evening. Toilet kept getting clogged along with the bathroom sink and spotted a couple bed bugs. Hair was in the bagel container for breakfast and when the front desk clerk was notified he just had the hair removed. Lastly the housekeeping clerk washed dishes with her bare hands and our television didnt get replaced til the last day of our stay so we went the majority of the time without a television!

This hotel is a little bit shabby, but tend to by design-oriented) Rooms are very spacious, there you have all what you need including little kitchen and big TV/stereo with iPhone docking. Wifi and breakfast are free (although breakfast is rather poor), but you have to pay for the parking. They also give you free beach towels and even chairs, and it is really good because umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach are chargeable (15 dollar each).
The destination is also great - it is close to the beach and main streets. So, I really recommend this place.
