This hotel was amazing to stay at if you’re on a budget. The staff was great, the hotel room was clean, and the beach was right by the hotel. The pool is on the smaller side but it was still nice and clean. The temperature of the water was great. I loved the location. It was in walking distance to the Publix (a grocery store) and many vacation boutiques and places to eat. I didn’t rent a car for the 5 days I was there because I either walked or used Lyft for the places that weren’t in walking distance. Some things I would improve on: make the outside beach chairs and umbrellas free to guests of the hotel. I would also offer military, police, firefighter and first responders discount. I think I would offer this to more people since I am in the military myself. Military discount could offer many people from other places to come to this location. I would also try and get some bigger toiletries holder for the shower. I could only fit one small item on the holder and then the rest would be on the floor. This hotel doesn’t offer breakfast, but I do recommend buying some groceries from Publix and making yourself some in the suite (they have pots, pans, etc for use in suite).

All in all, I’d recommend, and I’d recommend even more if the changes I mentioned were implemented!

The room had a cozy feel to it when I first entered it. It was retro vibes with the pink counter tops. It was different from what the listing had showed on the website. It was advertised as more modern look without the retro vibe. The furniture was incredibly uncomfortable. The couch in the living room area was loud. I could not breathe without it making some sort of noise. The bed and pillows were really uncomfortable too. On the flip side, the full kitchen was a nice feature to the room. It came complete with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, sink, silverware and plates, cups, and a coffee pot.

For those who like to have their room feel like an ice box in Miami's heat, this hotel does not allow it. The lowest temperature allowed on the thermostat was 68° F.

The service was okay. When I checked in, the customer service representative barely spoke any English. I speak little Spanish, so there was a barrier in our communication. The hotel offered a sheet with different tours that they recommend which include a shuttle bus pickup from the hotel along with drop off service. It sounded great. My issue was the differentiation in price each person was stating between the price of the tour for the Everglades. I really did not feel a level of trust from the hotel staff considering that each was telling me a different price for the same tour.

The only other good thing about this hotel is its location. It is right next to the beach, restaurants, and shopping malls.
