We stayed at the Blue Moon for 1 night on 1/23/04 before a cruise ship vacation. I had never been to South Beach before and thought it best to stay right there over downtown to experience a little of the flava. The hotel itself was very charming from the outside with the courtyard area and all. The hotel staff were nice enough, I guess. However, we did go with another couple and we purposely made our reservations at the same time thinking we'd get rooms fairly close together. NOT. The other couple were put on the first floor in another building. We were put on the 2nd floor in the other building, but had to use elevator in main building to get there. We didn't ask to change rooms or anything, but it was a tad inconvenient. Oh well.
The room itself was very small. I think the cabin in our cruise ship was bigger...plus since we had a balcony cabin, we definitely had a better view. Our hotel room view was of the building 2 feet away from our window. Not that we stayed in the room very long.
We explored and had a great time in South Beach, but I am glad we were only there 1 night. A whole week would have been too long in those cramped quarters for me. Also, we paid almost $200 for that 1 night, which I understand is for location, but we are from the midwest and used to $50 hotel bills, so this is sticker shock for us.
All in all, the hotel was ok, and as I don't have any other south beach hotels to compare it too, I'm not really sure if it was a "deal" or a "steal", but I am glad I got to see South Beach once. Probably wouldn't stay there again.
