I really wanted to love this place after all the research I did on Miami Beach. We ended up here for the final 2 nights of our babymoon hoping to enjoy the “quiet” hotel, but it left much to be desired.
Rooms have new furniture, but all of it was sourced from IKEA and had a cold feel. Neighbors beside & above us were incredibly loud, waking us up multiple times per night. We splurged for the room w the oceanfront balcony hoping to hear the waves while sleeping, but the swimming pool generator stayed on all night. $20 rooftop breakfast seemed like a typical hotel breakfast where you had to pay extra for any espresso drink, but the views were stunning.
The main two things that were frustrating were 1) not having any type of filtered water for guests to access. For $500/night I would hope for some kind of water refill option, but one of the bartenders just filled my bottle with ice and told me to let it melt. 2) the employees seemed very out of touch with reality. I asked about coffee options at the front desk drink fridge and the guy tried selling me wine to go, 8 months pregnant. When we asked if there was a gym on site they listed off hotels nearby with spa day passes where we could use the gym after booking massages. Staff also weren’t very helpful w suggestions for local places to eat, so we relied on Google maps & reviews.
This place charges like a luxury hotel but is average at best, with lots of partiers and kids taking over the pool. Save your $ and go to South Beach.
