“An affordable art deco gem”

We booked this as a secret saver - and were absolutely delighted to find we were not only allocated a genuine art deco hotel but one in the centre of the action. Top marks for a 3 star hotel.

“Lovely - recently decorated room, trendy, and great location”

I enjoyed my stay here completely. It was clean, and tredny with more than adequate space. Location is perfect for the shopping, beach and food - I would definitely stay there again - the only down side is the small pool - but with the beach so close - not a real worry !

“We would stay there again.”

This hotel is in a great location. You could find faults if you were being very fussy (not much space in the bathroom, no tea and coffee making facility) but for the price we paid we couldn't fault it. We stopped using the lift as we heard that someone got struck in it and we noticed the safety certificate in the lift was out of date!

“Decent hotel decent location”

This was my third time in Miami so I knew where the President Hotel was and what was nearby. My main reason for booking was the convenient location and the general look of the hotel, expedia were doing a special deal which also swayed me to book here. Location is great ... one block from Ocean Drive and near to Espanola Way and Lincoln Road. Room was lovely, very bright and well decorated with blackout blinds (an essential in my view) and LCD TV. It also had an iron and ironing board which was very impressive. Staff were friendly and helpful A few bad points which you may want to consider: The Free WiFi is terrible - in fact its from a hotel over the road and was not always switched on. I only managed to get connected about 20% of the times I tried. The pool area is tiny and if you are keen on soaking up the rays it is pretty useless as the sun is obscured by very tall plants from the adjacent building. The pool is 4Ft deep. This hotel is not quiet and peaceful! The cleaning staff don't seem to take into account that guests may be trying to sleep and talk very loudly in the corridors, and the walls seem very thin in between the rooms. The doors also slam shut (by design rather than by the guests) and this often interrupted my sleep All in all, a good hotel - very nicely laid out and decorated with well equipped rooms, the downsides I have listed should not stop you from booking there!

“Not what it says on the tin”

Reading the web pages this hotel seemed right for us to stay. Unfortunately the hotel room walls were paper thin and all noise could be heard throughout the hotel and not just the next room. We we were not informed that the Penguin Hotel was their hotel as well and this hotel offered more facilities than the President - eg meals etc - we had to get our meals from local restaurants and therefore deprived The President of extra revenue. Also there was a short cut through The President to the Penguin giving easier access to the beach. On a plus the room and laundry was kept clean daily. The hotel person (Eric) was most helpful once asked and arranged all that we required.

“Not too bad”

I liked a location of this hotel. I stayed here for 2 nights just to sleep over.The room was nice and clean and you have everything you need including free internet. Staff could use a SMILE from time to time and be more professional. This hotel is not too bad, but nothing special. I would come back!
