Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's beachfront location and beautiful ocean views, which were the highlight of many stays. However, there were frequent complaints about cleanliness, with several guests mentioning dirty rooms, unpleasant odors, and infrequent housekeeping. Many also felt the hotel was overpriced for the quality and condition of the facilities, which were described as dated and in need of renovation. While some appreciated amenities like the pool, beach access, and live music at the bar, others were disappointed by closed restaurants and basic room features. Overall, the location stands out as the main positive, but cleanliness and value for price are significant concerns.

Pros (+) Liked that it was on the beach. And the bath and body works soap
Cons (-) Front desk could have been friendlier. And the price for parking was pretty high. Even for a week day shouldn't be same cost as the busy weekend

Pros (+) The location is good... it’s right on the beach, and walking distance to some nice local bars and restaurants
Cons (-) The hotel is older and it shows. I had booked my room online, and didn’t select any specific room type. The room I got was interior, but when I walked in it was horribly muggy in the room and smelled musty/moldy. The windows don’t open, so there’s no airing it out.

Cons (-) The only downfall, and it's a very minor one, was the water pressure in the room could have been a bit stronger! That's it!

Pros (+) Friendly staff, clean, great view on the beach, amazing sunsets, good food and beach bar. Convenient to other beachfront restaurants/bars also. We always look forward to coming here!
Cons (-) The barstools at Flippers are pretty wobbly and uncomfortable and we'd be more prone to hang out longer if there were live music more often...but the view is unbeatable and Amanda makes great Miami Vices and Bloody Marys!

Pros (+) The staff were amazing. That's the only positive.
Cons (-) Overall, the amount of money I spent for a 2 night stay had me feeling ripped off. The place is tired & dated. Not worth it.
