I went down with 8 of my friends for a couple days. You have to take it for what its worth....Our door fell off the hinges, creepy men wandered into our room, the AC didn't work, and many other things.

But there are some good things like being across the street from Denny's, being the smallest hotel on the street (they like the classic look), having an ice maker (that was no where to be found), etc... We had a great time and I would recommend it to any group of college kids who are looking to have a good time for a good price...Don't expect the Ritz

It was priced too high for the quality of rooms. Though the location was fantastic, right on the beach, the old motel has much needed updating. The dead pointsetta plants with their dad leafs in their garden beds should have been a dead give away for the quality we were to expect. The bed springs popped every time you moved and "didn't move". There were no thermastats to control the temps, though they gave you a coffee pot in the room, there was no sugar or cream, the toilet must have been made in the 1940's. You almost had to put your head in the toilet to flush it! There were dirty linens and towels all over propery all times in day.

They charge you a "resort fee" because they "have a pool" and lounge chairs; which by the way, were dirty and some still had bird dung on them.

I will admit, we were able to walk right onto the beach, enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Denny's was across the street for breakfast, and there were many quality places to eat within walking distance as well. Had this not just been a one night stay before cruising, ,we would not have stayed another day....

this hotel was not bad at all. the staff was very nice and friendly. its right on the beach and the pool is beautiful! theres shopping areas to walk to. it was so fun being there. the rooms got a little cold but nothing to complain about. it was very clean. i will deffiently go there again. =)

This is a hotel whose days are numbered due to the crazy development all around it. It is a throwback to the old Miami. Be sure to rent a room that is on the ocean. There is no comparison with the ones by the pool. The beach is clean, white sand and uncrowded. Our room was more than adequate altho cold due to a/c we could not control. The agent who booked it from the UK charged us for breakfast they could not serve and we are still trying to recover some of that expense. The restaurant might have reopened by now. It was easy to get to this hotel from the Ft. Laud airport- an easy car rental door to door. A perfect get-away for a long weekend. Walk down the beach to the restaurant right on the water for a simple great meal of stone crab. Beautiful. A nice little vacation in North Miami away from the crowds of South Beach.
