Covid Infestation
DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!!!!! AVOID AT ALL COST FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR HEALTH!!!! A day before I was scheduled to arrived, I tested positive for covid. I called the hotel and gave them the news to try and see if I could work something out. They told me that "everyone has been exposed" and that I should come anyway as they could handle it. Ultimately, I just decided not to go because gee I dont know, its kind of the responsible thing to do. So if you go, just understand that there could be more people with covid than a hospital. It is one this to have covid but it is another to knowingly allow people to come and put your other guests/families in danger. I will never book a hotel that does not prioritize my health within or outside of a pandemic.

Great spot for the money !
Great location, and nice and quiet, but a little on the shabby side. Our safe, TV and one of the bedside lamps didn't work but as we were out a lot that didn't matter too much. It's USP is its location for the price.

I love how close it was to the strip. Only 5 mins from Ocean Dr. It was outdated and could use a good renovation but it served its purpose.

It’s a pretty basic hotel, everything looked cleaned, but there was mold in the corner of my room and when I went to take a shower I opened up a towel and there was a big long hair in the towel...

DON'T DO IT
The front desk guy wasn't friendly at all, he had a very dry attitude and was short on conversation. There's no free parking available at this hotel and I don't remember the website stating that. The room window doesn't work, overall bad experience. Never again

The only negatives we found were no pool and no parking. You have to pay another hotel they work with a block away 25 per day to valet to even have a place to park. But overall we would stay again! Super nice staff and very clean

The property was a great price and it was extremely close to ocean avenue. Right down the block from Wet Willies which is my favorite spot in Miami so that part was very convenient. The worst part of the hotel was that the room was not very clean and it smelled very strongly of mildew. When I picked up the phone to call the front desk there was mold all over the phone next to the keypad! The bathroom wasn’t great either. We had to call/ go down to the front desk multiple times to ask for an extra wash cloth and they kept saying they would bring it to the room. They never brought it and never called to check. I’m not sure if all of the rooms were this bad but this room is particular was intolerable. Luckily we only used the room to change and sleep for a couple of hours, otherwise we would have left and found a new place to stay.

on arrival there was a prostitute out of her head with her breast exposed , taking men in and out of the hotel, we saw this while waiting to park. the man from the hotel came out and said you sure you want to stay here you are not the kind of people how normally do. we didn't know what to do as the car had been taken off to park and we thought only one night. we dumped our bags to come back later , when we did the room was worst than a hostel, absolutely filthy my wife has photos. so bad we slept in our clothes , screaming and banging all night our friends door didnt close as it should. i cannot tell you how scared and how dirty it was, the night porter said not my hotel i know how bad it is. if my husband hadnt had a drink we would have left but he had 3 beers. we left by 8am . we expect a full refund on both rooms when you see the photos you can understand why.

Place not only look good and is clean but it smells nice too! Staff are great and will go extra mile for guest. The in-room fridge is the only thing these guys need to change and then they'll be perfect. (It is full of over-priced goodies with NO room for your own medicines or water or stuff.)

This hotel looks nothing like their pictures. Not only did they not have us in the room we reserved but it is dirty and run down. Plus the first sign we saw was to tell us water would be turned off between 10:00 and 1:00am. The guy at the desk wasn't friendly at all. Would not recommend this place, we went somewhere else.
