Great location south of 5th within walking distance of the beach and many great bars and restaurants. All of the staff were fantastic from the efficient and friendly checkin by William to the bar staff who were chatty and helpful the happy hour here was also great with plenty of choice for both drinks and snacks. Should I return to Miami Beach this hotel will be top of my list

Construction on rooftop starts every morning 9:30am during my stay, very loud and unbearable. So there is no way to stay in bed late. In Miami I am actually on my vacation, but I woke up early everyday. Did not complain this to the manager of the hotel, cuz the staffs here are welcoming and friendly, and this is not something that they can decide. But will not consider to stay here again for next visit.

Very cool location. Staff is among the best hotel staff I’ve ever seen. Will at the front desk was great. We had an issue with the AC in our room. He moved us to a suit and gave us complimentary drinks. He don’t make excuses and simply apologized and explained the age of the building and that at time ACs can be an issue. He went out of the way to assure a good stay. Will, great job!!! Keep in mind, this is an 80 year old building. Not a Hilton from 2018. The setting, the staff, the location and the history, made this one of the most unique hotel stay I’ve ever experienced. I will definitely be back!!!

I could live here.

The room was incredible. I was nervous about bunk beds for my adult friends, but they were full size and had privacy curtains. The beach is only a 5 minute walk from the property. Navi at the front desk was WONDERFUL! She was super informative and made us feel like VIPs. Highly recommend this historic hotel!

It was a nice stay and the bar tenders were great. The hotel and rooms were a cute boutique style. However, our ac went out at about 3:30 am one night. In Miami in the summer time this is absolutely miserable. The toilet kept running every night and we kept having to fix it. Other than that, the location and stay was good.

William at the front desk is outstanding . So friendly and informative . Hotel facilities and location are great and a small pool onsite . Bathrooms are nice in rooms only downside is shower pressure but not honestly an issue. Welcome drink and bike usage free for two hours a day is a nice touch. Staff are very friendly and we were very comfortable here for our 1 night stay pre cruise .
