I've seen some outstanding reviews and I can't believe I was at the same hotel. It was so noisy in the pool and outdoor restaurant I couldn't hear myself talk. The street and construction noise are deafening. We had a pool side room and the black out shade did keep out the noise. I had to call the front desk three times to find out how to work the stopper in the sink. The beds were small and lumpy. The room was old and run down. There was a large closet that was nice for changing with a refrigerator and a safe. The television was a very old 25 inch. The location to the beach was good for me because I prefer being away from the populated beach areas. The food and service in the restaurant were very good but I wouldn't recommend eating outside. My teenagers hated it. I definitely would not stay here or recommend it. It's just not for me.

i had intended to stay elsewhere but the hotel ended up being closed for renovations and my travel agent suggested red as it had a few of my key requirements - parking and breakfast. both which were sub bar. the breakfast was a croissant, the parking expensive (valet) and any time you needed your car you needed to give them at least an hour notice, upon which they will still not have it in time for you. the location isnt too bad, a nice walk to ocean drive, but i like a walk. i would recommend the location if you didnt want to be right in the middle of the party scene. the pluses for us were the lobby decor and the rooms were nice but that is about it. and the biggest downfalls were the smell throughout the hotel - it stank and the slowness/incapable lifts - we had to use the fire escape to get to our tour bus!

I was happily surprised by the cool and trendy atmosphere at this hotel. I went during the Christmas holidays and I could not believe how comfortable I felt. It seemed like it was a friend's house and I felt welcome from the moment I set foot in. I also enjoyed the restaurant downstairs which could easily compete with high-end restaurants.
Thank you RED!!!

Tiny bedroom, could barely put my suitcase next to the bed. Even smaller bathroom - I could have a shower, use the toilet, use the basin and have my leg out the bathroom door all at the same time. Our non-smoking room stunk of cigarettes every afternoon once the 'cleaning ladies' had been in and made our bed. The sullen lady at the front desk ignored me when I tried to address the situation with her, the greasy man next to her told me I was wrong and there was nothing that could be done, then ignored me until I walked away. The bartender spent more time on her phone texting rather than serving, when she did pour me a drink she added her 18% tip on before charging it to my room. The walls are paper thin so we enjoyed listening to next door's drunken celebrations late at night. Also an awkward distance away from Ocean Rd where all of the action happens. No free cabs drive past this hotel and the 'Welcome team' outside are too busy smoking than to call a taxi for the hotel's customers. Disgusting place that should have extended its renovation of the lobby to their hotel rooms and staff attitudes.
