“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Look don't listen to the bad reviews, the hotel is clean, very good value for money and all the hotel staff are really friendly. The hotel is a distance from south beach but only $2 on the bus, the bus stop is just outside the front of the hotel, and a 10 min bus ride to the mall for also $2. There is a also a supermarket just across the road, the beach is perfect you really cant fault it, a nice pool with really friendly pool staff. I really like this hotel and have been back four times and will continue to use this hotel. People shouldn't moan I feel this is a great hotel and good value for money.

“Beware!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

The staff is rude and lacking professionalism and communication skills. The entire experience from check-in to check-out was frustrating and stressful. I had to fight for the room I had reserved and then the wrong number was given to the car valet. The beds in the room slide across the floor and cannot be locked in place so that when you prop against the headboard you fall over backwards as the bed slides out from under you. Ther was no hotel directory or room service menu in the room. A call to the front desk got the response, " yeah, so?". At one point the room attandant walked into the room without announcing herself and at 9am on check out day she beat on the door asking for the dirty towels and was unwilling to wait till check out even though I requested that she come back. Extremely noisy guests running and slamming doors kept us awake most of the night. Calling the front desk did no good. At check-out, the desk clerk asked me to sign both her copy and my copy of the credit card slip and leave both with her but could not explain why she needed two. Upon questioning, she flung it at me across the desk. Three good things about this location.....the view of the ocean is incredible, if you can get the right room. The maintenance man is fast, friendly and knowledgeable and the little onsite restaurant is good, although it has changed from the one still being advertised.

Room Tip: The better, ocean front rooms can only be booked directly with the hotel, according to the rude desk...

“never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

my husband and I have just returned from 3 weeks in Florida we traveled down the east coast starting off in Daytona throughout our holiday we stayed in 5 hotels which were all fantastic except for this one although the room was clean it was very dated and in need of an upgrade we were on the 3rd floor walls very thin we heard every noise from both sides the people on one side sat in balcony till about 5 every morning speaking laughing playing music... we only managed a few winks of sleep ... we asked for a change of room but it was to cost us $10 per day above the $10 for the supposed valet parking and the $10 resort fees for amenities we did not use if we ever go back to Miami we would definitely not use this hotel .

“old condition hotel still has a little charm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

stayed here for 5 nights in October. It doesn't look like much has been done to improve the place since I last was there - it remains an old-condition motel with under-average features whose biggest asset is that it's on the beach, and near shopping and food. You pay $8/day for self-parking which is across a 6-lane highway, in a dirt lot! C'mon people.... at least pave it!
Pool is large and cold; jacuzzi didn't look that clean and was lukewarm, but at least they have one. They offer shuttles to the mall which is a nice feature. Also local calls are free. TVs are old and in bad condition. Beds were comfortable. I reserved thru Hotels.com and didn't get my reserved room (with terrace) until the 2nd night. Complained to Hotels.com and got a $20 credit which went to pay for the parking. They still have the Tbird in the lobby - nice touch.

Room Tip: terrace! don't get ground floor.
