Hotel was curb appeal ok, the only thing I didn't like about this hotel is that the maintenance personel are so slow so it might happen that your room gets maintenance at 5:00 p.m. The short access to the beach is great, the pool is great too. The restaurant in the hotel is 2 thums down, specially f...

I and a couple of friends stayed here in September 2006. The first room we stayed in was tolerable, until one of us started itching. We found some kind of bugs crawling around behind the headboard of one bed. The staff was kind and gave us another room. This one had plaster by the window falling. An...

Best bargain on the beach. - user review
I found this place about five years ago and I keep going back. It's in North Beach, right on the ocean. The beach is never overly crowded but it seems to be very popular with the Euros, so if you're into people watching (or people meeting) I've had some wonderful encounters there. But if you just wa...

Not the Best Stay I’ve Had in Miami - user review
I obviously had to pay a bit more than the normal rate for this hotel room during the Super Bowl, but even at it's normal rate it would not be my first, second, third, fourth, or fifth choice in the North Miami Beach area. The hotel lobby was fine, but when the elevator opened on the eighth floor, t...

Great Hotel for the money - user review
I really liked this hotel. The only complaint I might have is that the bathroom is a little small. We had great waves on the beach and were able to really enjoy our body boards. The location is great for families. I thought parking should be included in the price, but I found that everything in Miam...
