This is the first time that we had been to Miami, it was a stop over for three days after being in Disneyland. The hotel definitely has the wow factor with the jacuzzi in the atrium. I loved the hotel!

It was a pleasant as we had to hang around the hotel due to Hurrican Isaac Alert that was in Miami during our stay. For the looks, the cleaness of the room and the staff this hotel meets a 4 star requirements, but it rained in the hotel lobby during the stay. We can hear the other guests in their rooms. During the hurricane alert when everything was closed, also the restaurant down star was... i don't think that is a good decision as you tought you could eat at the hotel restaurant, so, we had to walk through the wind gusts and rain until we found an opened market from where we bought some muffins...

I recently booked a Deluxe Suite for 2 nights using a Groupon for a "two-night stay in a deluxe view queen room."

The good: The hotel is small, beautiful, and has a European feel. There is a wonderful pool in the middle of the lobby area as well. The room also looked very nice, aesthetically. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs the first evening. The restaurant had somewhat pricey, but good, well-plated food. The crab cakes and filet mignon were delicious.

The bad: the good feelings were short-lived. The amount of noise that could be heard from the next room over due to a shared door, the noise from guests in the lobby downstairs at midnight, the thumping noises above us, and the vacuuming at 3am were completely unacceptable. The towels smelled like burnt toast and we had a leaking air conditioning vent close to the sink, which was located outside of the bathroom. The "deluxe view" was trees that obstructed any view of the beach/ocean. I would definitely skip breakfast there in the morning and not pay $13 for a bagel with eggs and $9 for a mimosa.

Well, the world knows that hurricane isaac is coming to South Florida except for this Hotel. I was scheduled to fly to miami on 8/25, as everybody know bad weather is heading there. I booked 1 night here on 8/25, and the other nights at different hotels. All the other hotels allowed me to cancel my reservation due to the weater. I'm flying over from CA for a mini vaction and do not want to be in a hurricane. When I called to cancel the reservation due to weather conditions, they said the weater is fine here. WTF, they need to turn on the tv and watch the weather channel.

I just will be disputing the charge with my credit card company. DO NOT STAY HERE!
