The room was clean but the desk chair flimsy. Think IKEA basic chair. When I sat down on it, the chair collapsed. I fell backwards and hit the floor with my head and left shoulder. I filed a report and was told that management would contact me. I haven't heard a word from management.

Excellent Customer Service with the front desk staff. I rented 3 rooms. Unfortunately the elevator wasn't working, again. My parents had to get a regular room o the lower floor with no view. It was their anniversary. I was dissapointed because the rooms were sort of small. I feel management should have approved an extra room since I paid for 3 of the most expensive rooms. The desk did give breakfast vouchers for some of us. I myself loved having the private rooftop terrace. I didn't mind the steps. Overall the plce was very clean and worth staying again if I am in Miami.

Older art Deco hotel in the heart of South Beach Miami. This is the ocean side street you will want to be on if you come to Miami. Beach is across the street and endless restaurants next door. Room was very small and had no view. If you are just there to sleep it’s perfect. If your older and want to sit in room on a balcon and view the ocean, get a 100 story hotel room 10 blocks north. I prefer 4th st to 14th for the night life.
