Hotel stay was wonderful from the moment we arrived at 5:30am. The ENTIRE STAFF was warm, friendly, inviting, and most of all, helpful. The ocean view suite was well worth the upgrade at it overlooked the pool as well. Hotel sits right on the boardwalk giving direct beach access. Didn't get a chance to experience the pool (limited time) but saw maintenance scrub the water line daily before opening. The entire hotel was pristine. Close by a Publix, convenience store, liquor store, drugstore, and multiple restaurants, this hotel is my new go-to while visiting Miami Beach.
