The staff and service plus the location has made this my new Miami Beach place of stay. Luggage holding and early check in is a godsend with vacation traveling. The walk to the beach was short and near the Art Deco section of the beach. Police are near and keep the area relatively safe at night. Unlike other beach spots this area does calm down and able to sleep at night without a club jamming music

Power went out around 0500 and was out until around 0930 and went out again atound 1000. I understand it was out of their control, but guests should be comped for it. Instead, the staff acted as if it wasn't a big deal and we were told to deal with it. This caused the a/c in the rooms to go off and a lack of hot water and yhe ability to dry our hair while trying to get ready for our trip.

Website looked much better than it was. Mold in bathroom, cracked mirrors and windows. Restaurant and bar was at sister property through an alley and not much when we got there. We left. Checked out a day early and would have not stayed at all but it was non refundable and we had plans.

Room was good. The hotel makes guest request daily housekeeping. Our room was not cleaned on our first day of stay even after a daily request. Lukewarm apology and we were incorrectly blamed for not requesting daily housekeeping. However, great location. Bathroom water was hot, good temp. No food options offered on site. Lukewarm experience. Staff allowed bags to be kept on last day of stay.
