“The rooms were spacious, and having a jacuzzi was a nice bonus. We always choose this hotel when we're in Miami Beach.”

7.7Verified guest

“Clean property in a fantastic location, close to shops, restaurants, and the center of things. There's a great sports bar with welcome drinks.”

7.7Verified guest

“The staff were extremely friendly from the moment we arrived. We got complimentary cocktails at check-in, and though we arrived five hours early and our room wasn't ready, we could leave our bags. The rooms were simple but clean and nicely decorated. The pool was small, but the Clevelander next door had lovely areas to relax, as did the Essex. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone; it's right by the beach, shopping, and nightlife.”

7.7Verified guest

“The location couldn't be better. The building is in that fabulous art deco style, and the staff were very helpful. All the glamour of South Beach at a great price.”

7.7Verified guest

“Rooms with jacuzzi.”

7.7Verified guest

“Great location, attentive staff, comfortable facilities, and there's a bar/nightclub at the attached Clevelander Hotel that's lively at night without causing noise or discomfort for guests. We'll definitely be back and this will be our preferred hotel in Miami. There's an American staff member who speaks Portuguese, Brandon, very helpful and polite, who gave us valuable information. Ten out of ten.”
