The area itself was loud. Bumping music. All good, just something to note. The pool is very small. Beach across the street. They were out of chairs at the hotel but did provide towels. Drinks are. Expensive! 4 drinks was $90 😡. Lights didn’t work day two but was rectified quickly. Staff was great. Not sure I’d stay there again.

The first room they gave us still had someone staying in it so we had to move rooms. Then we discovered bed bugs and decided not to stay at the property. While discussing the issue with the front desk another guest had a similar issue. We were all escorted off the property by police and the property is now refusing to refund us for a room we didn't stay in.

Room air conditioning did not work and hotel could not fix nor exchange room for another as hotel was booked. Check-in was super slow due to hotel staff. Room floor was very slippery with a without shoes. Expedia stated a service fee of $20 plus tax per day would be applied, but the hotel stated that was an outdated rate and charged $39.90 per day. FYI - since the hotel is on the main drag, don’t expect a quiet room as you will hear the music from the nearby clubs and the cars cruising Ocean Drive with their audio system blasting.

Check in was at 4pm. Walked in at 4:30 and was told the room wasn’t ready. We then had to wait until 6:30pm for our room to be ready. This was very inconvenient for us because we had 4 big luggage bags that we had to haul around with us. Also, once we got checked in, we got to our room. The hotel smelled very dirty, the floors were sticky, like they have never been cleaned. The shower was gross. The bed mattress was broken. The fridge in the room didn’t work. The customer service was terrible, they weren’t willing to do anything to help us feel more welcomed. They just kept blaming it on them being “at capacity”. I will never stay here again, nor will I recommend this hotel to anyone. Beware!

Check in was a mess,patio door didn’t open so we had zero access to our private pool,toilet does work or fill,if these were fixed I would give it a 5 star because location is perfect but without the private pool it was not a penthouse experience and they still charged us full price,hopefully they see this and offer some compensation

The staff was kind, although housekeeping was trying to get into our room to clean before we checked out, around 9 or 9:30 am. The room was ok, you could hear loud music from a neighboring venue (club) until 1 am, and there was only one coffee pod in our room. No ice to be found (my husband had a blood blister that we were trying to manage). And the "resort fee" for the silly little pool available seemed steep, we never saw anyone in there, although we did see some people check out a couple of bikes. It was a place to sleep, but I wouldn't visit again.
