The room had a great beach view and great location with many walkable bars and restaurants. We loved the friendly staff and free welcome drinks! The only drawbacks were no on site pool and no hot water to shower in the morning. We had to take fast cold showers and probably won’t be back because of it.

6/10 Good

Location was great, just across the road to the beach. It was a shame that the family room (2 queen beds) was definitely not big enough for 4 people. The bathroom was not big enough neither, had to fully open/close the door just to get in/out. The staff were very helpful and the pool and breakfast was in the sister hotel (The President) which I didn’t realise. All in all it was ok

If you are looking for a true Miami Beach experience-come enjoy this cute boutique hotel! You are right on the beach, you have access to a rooftop pool, fully cooked breakfast for minimal cost. They offered complimentary welcome drinks at the President hotel bar. The room is clean, with frig and wifi, tv, access to plenty of charging ports. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The view was of the park and ocean, we could see the cargo ships arriving, parasailing tours. You can walk to plenty of restaurants with lots of night entertainment! Take in the Art Deco museum, lots of interesting history of South Beach
