Well I made the mistake of booking this hotel before I read the reviews. ALot of people mentioned about how old the hotel was, and how it smelled. That is true, but this aspect wasnt such a huge problem for me, considering when u vacation to Miami, you barely are in your room anyway. The good and the only thing about this hotel is that you are in the middle of everything, but there are other hotels you can get that have the same luzury of this. The thing that made me upset was that I pick this hotel based on it having a fitness center. This is a total lie. They had an old treadmill and bike from the 1970's, and they had one machine for weights that didnt work and it was old too. Aslo they mentioned that they had free internet, but they had one computer, and it had a virus on the computer. Also the toilet wasnt dirty, but it looked liked a toilet from a gas station. I was scared to sit my on it, and the shower look old. But overall it isnt a bad place to stay if u are looking for something cheap to stay in, but my problem is that the advertising misleads u. This place needs to upgrade from the 80's to the new millenuim.

We were 4 females going to Miami for the weekend. we reserved a room with 2 double beds to share. I called the hotel the night before to comfirm our 2 double bed room for four and the women I spoke with said everything was set. We checked in around midight to the nightshift desk clerk. With attitude and no appology he stated he didn't have our room and that we would be given a room with a king size bed and put a rollaway bed in the room for the four of us. After expressing our irritation especially with the fact that we comfirmed the room the night before, he said "you can only comfirm you have a reservation, the room doesn't get comfirmed until you get here" I have never heard of that. We went out and came back with no rollaway bed. When asked he said "I couldn't find one". When we got angry he accused us of not being accomodating to him. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around?! He finally said he would go to the laundry and make up a rollaway to bring to us. What happened to none being available!! On Saturday our tiolet broke and we were informed that maintenance left for the day and nothing could be done about it. so we had to move rooms. When we checked in I was told we had to leave a deposit for "incidentals" if there were none the deposit would be returned. during checkout the same lazy and nasty night desk clerk slides a petty cash receipt in front of me and tells me to sign it. There's a charge for the room safe whether you use it or not, and no we weren't told.

Good location - just a few blocks from the beach and within walking distance to everything in South Beach. The staff was friendly enough and quick to help out. My hotel room had an awful smell. The bathtub was so disgusting that I almost prefered to not shower at all. The carpets looked 20 years old and have obviously never been cleaned. One plus - I never seen any bugs. Although, it certainly wouldn't have been surprising.
