“hotels like these are a shame for miami.awful rip off place.avoid it!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2012

i stayed twice in this place. 10 days ago before my trip to mexico at 60 us a night,saturday marcg 10th i cvalled them from the airport and they promised 90 bucks a night and ...what a sjame when i arrived at the reception they charged me 100 plus tax.telling me welcome to miami.i live in palm beach and just wanted to relax before a flight to europe but places like this without a minimum of decency are a shame for our state of florida. i will never ever stay in that place.
ah by the way:
the place (i cant call this a hotel, really not) is a shabby bunker from the 50s with no renovation at all, noisy gang land customers and mattresses that make your back hurt as hell. it is a run down shabby ridiculous and shameful rip off place which i would not even recommend for a dog. awful furniture, tvs with cigarette burn marks on top and bath rooms from a concentration camp. fridge from a horror movie and awful white tiled floors with morgue appeal. they used to be 39 us but thanks to spring break and really stupid tourists they charge 100 us !!! this hotel is worth maximum 29 us.in vegas not even 15 !!! please do avoid this place.
you cant find anything worse south of spanish harlem nyc at a higher price.
i will report this rip off to the miami tourism board.maybe it helps.
this place is a disgrace for any decent hotel in miami and for the beautiful city of miami beach !

Room Tip: get another hotel ! please !!!

“Loved our stay here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012 via mobile

Not quite sure why all the negative reviews. We stayed 6 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean. We had a wonderful view of the bay. We used coupon the first 3 nights. Close to beaches. Planning to stay again next month.

“Avoid this place if you can book in advance”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2010

They would not give us the discount that was advertised in roomsaver.com. They say the discount rooms can only be given at 11 am if someone leaves from the discounted rooms. The beds make squeaky noises and you also hear noises from surrounding places (people shouting, vehicles honking... etc). There is a very small TV in the room which is also not very clear. There are some flies and mosquitoes in the room. Bathroom is very old fashioned. The lady at reception was not very welcoming. Offers no breakfast and the free coffee service they claim is really a empty coffee pot. No nearby place to eat. You have to either drive or walk (which did not appear very safe at night) at least a few miles.
positives: this place has free parking and close (somewhat) to the beaches. Free wifi.
Overall not worth 67$ per night price for december

“Not for the faint hearted-”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2010

Rooms are big, but no sound proofing between them. I hear what is happening all arounf me. View is great. Room smells bad. A/c too loud. Took second room offered as first one was really bad. If was not so tired would have kept driving. Paid $60 fir one night, but feel I should pay about $20 compared to other hotels. Do'nt trust the room security and worried baout car in parking area. I intended to stay in Minami for two night, but will not stay here another. This is toally a one off for me.
