As always, location is everything. The hotel is in the perfect location. There are restaurants galore, the beach is right across the street and the weather was perfect during the week of our stay. We had a couple of problems but neither of the situations were a deal breaker. The issues were addressed and put behind us with the exception of our request for a late check out. We were told that due to the small size of the hotel and two bedroom accommodation only a one hour extension would be permitted. The excellent assistance provided by the HGV call desk assisted us and was able to provide additional time.(Thank you). This is totally unlike any HGV resort that we have visited. Also the $35/day parking can add up very quickly. The city is definately ticketing and towing therefore losing on the gamble to park on the street is not worth the risk. NOW, the room was very nice, the view was exceptional and with the upcoming renovations I do not think you can ask for more while visiting South Beach. We shall return, NO QUESTION!!!

This art deco hotel is in an unbelievably great location! Near the beach, boardwalk,walking distance from great restaurants. No pool;, but who needs a pool when you have the best beach anywhere 100 feet away! We try to get here every year. One tip - if you want a quiet room, ask for the third floor away from the street.

The location is superb; smack in the middle of South Beach. Almost everything in the area is within walking distance of most of what one goes to South Beach for. Taxis are plentiful and there is also the South Beach Local, a bus service that circumnavigates the peninsula. It costs all of twenty five cents which is a wonderful bargain. The property itself is a well maintained and clean facility and totally art deco. It is small but the living units are of adequate size especially considering that most folks will not be spending a lot of time in their rooms. A few, very few, of the units over look Ocean Drive which can be fun for people watching. The majority of the units look out onto an alley and the side of an adjacent building but this is not a real distraction. The beach is just beyond a nice little park adjacent to Ocean Drive and a very easy walk away. There is a multitude of restaurants, shops and bars within easy striking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a $35.00 per day fee for valet parking but it does offer in and out service if you want your car during your stay. I will go back to South Beach and I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.

Fantastic location, across the road from the beach in the Deco area of the city. Close to all local amenities. Very comfortable and well appointed.Staff were friendly and willing to help with any request. Getting a late check out was easy and they ensured that the cab to airport offered a fixed rate for the journey.
