Boondocks Grille & Draft House

We stayed at The Elser for our anniversary, and overall if was a wonderful experience. The property was very nice and clean, and well maintained. One of the highlights was the beautiful view from our room-we were even able to watch the cruise ships depart from the Port of Miami. The location is excellent, Bayside Marketplace is directly across the street, offering plenty of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. The hotel is also within walking distance of CVS, the train station, and other convenient attractions. The train is free to ride depending on your destination, which made getting around easy. We rented a car and took a trip to Biscayne National Park, which was a peaceful and relaxing spot to spend part of our anniversary. We enjoyed hanging out by the water, and there were food trucks and restrooms available, making it a comfortable place to visit. We also drove to Aventura Mall for some shopping and had a great time. The hotel can get a little busy depending on the time of day you arrive, but that is to be expected given its prime location. Overall, the Elser is a great place to stay in Miami, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with easy access to local attractions.
