Hi - I needed a cheap and convenient place to stay for the weekend as my friend still didn't have his place ready (I work in the travel and tourism industry).
This place is nothing fancy but for the price I paid it was enough. This is just a place to sleep. The room was big and thankfully not carpeted. It had a big closet and a kitchen (didn't use it but it was clean) and it was clean.
Beds are ok but not great. Bathroom is small but the water pressure was really good (at least in my room #133).
The hotel is old and it might look a little bit scatchy, but again it is nothing fancy. They have security and everything.
And it is right on the beach. The beach area is spacious.
Honestly if you just need a place to crash, for the price it is not bad.
They ask for $8 for parking - which is not a bad price considering the area. We managed not to pay - I guess the night auditor liked us :).
The night auditor was very nice with us and also the rest of the front desk staff. I needed a cab at 3.30 AM and they managed to have it there right on time.
This place is for no-frills people who just want a place to stay. It is not close to South Beach though. So if you don't have a car, and want to be in SoBe don't stay here.

I realy dont write bad reviews unless it was bad, The place is old,
they charge you to park your own car in the parking lot on top of the hotel price, they offer no continental breakfast, the staff was friendly, the pictures look nothing like the hotel, they must have been taken years ago, it is right on the beach, that is the only good thing, I would spend the couple of extra dollars and stay someplace nicer.

This place was the worst experience of my life. The staff there are all jerks and very rude. Since this place is going to be brought out soon to build highrises they treat this place and the people who stay here like crap. The rooms on the first floor of the 2 story hotel were decent however the 2nd floor rooms were disgusting. The beachwas the only good thing about the time i spent here. My advice is to buy a time share and or stay some place that nice and has good reviews.

My wife and I wanted an overnight stay before going on a short cruise from Miami. I searched the web and could not find a hotel in the area at a reasonable price with good reviews, so I searched further afield and found this one. The reviews for this hotel were not great but the price was right, I'm aged 60 and have reasonable standards and my wife and I both considered that the hotel was good value for money; agreed it is getting very tired and therefore shows it's age but our room and beds were clean. We would both return and consider accommodation ON THE BEACH for less than $80 per night as very good value. The staff were pleasant and courteous at all times.
