This property is in a nice location and easy access to South Beach and shopping.
The hotel rooms are a bit older in presentation.
The shower was strong which is always a plus.
The staff was friendly and did a good job selling the services of the hotel.
The elevator broker and the pool area needs some tlc and updating but the overall experience was a good one and we enjoyed our time.

This hotel is located right on the beachfront in Miami. There is also a boardwalk where one can walk or jog up and down the entire beach area without having to deal with the sand. It allows you to go from hotel to hotel or all the way to South Beach without having to walk on the streets. As far as location goes, this is hard to beat. But make no mistake, this hotel is old and worn out. Was told the hotel had an entire renovation in 2011. I would have a hard time believing that as this hotel needs a total renovation now. The gym is a waste of time and has little to nothing for exercising. The pool is very nice though and leads to the beach area and boardwalk. Hotel restaurant is very good.
But the hotel is functional, on the beach and priced decently. A great place to stay if you want to save some cash as the really nice places on the beach are pricey.

If you are looking for a good place to stay away from the noise, this is your place. The rooms are decent, the pool is nice and the beach is your backyard. Plus it's only minutes away from South Beach.

Although the car parking prices seems a little steep for the hotel, everything else was reasonable.

The hotel is very far from the good side of Collins Ave.
The room was used and in a need for a heavy renovation.
The breakfast room was extremely over cooled and that was the way into the hotel from the pool, so if you had wet swimsuit on you, good chance to get a cold while trying to access your room.

Usually staying at a Starwood facility, but this was the worst among all, I have been.
