I loved the decor/theme of this hotel. And after observing other hotels in the neighborhood, this felt quaint and unique with it's ethnic, rustic charm. The other neighboring hotels are an eye sore and are either under developed or in construction. But once in the hotel, you can relax in the lobby and enjoy the sun roof during the day, and/or enjoy the little jacuzzi in the back. Unfortunately unlike many other hotels in Miami, this one doesn't have a pool. The staff are very accomodating after the many requests my friends and I have. Located in a more quiet neighborhood compared to south beach, it's a more relaxing area that I'd prefer. And just cross the street to get to the boardwalk & beach, it's real convenient. Plus a short cab drive will take you to the shopping strips of Miami. Or just take the bus.

Very impressed. Lovely hotel which has recently been re-modelled with a Spanish hacienda flavour. Excellent spa in the middle of attrium and restaurant on site. Bus stop directly over the road from hotel and a $2.00 fare will get you just about anywhere in Miami. Clean beach virtually directly opposite hotel, (about 50 metres), Could not fault the room or service, except for a faulty remote control for the tv which was a minor annoyance. Would definately stay there again.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel October 9th thru the 15th of 2008. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: 1. Cheap. We bought a package deal that saved us a lot of money. The hotel is located across from the beach. Cons: 1. Very small room. The toilet in our bathroom would not flush all the way because of low water pressure. The bed was too hard. 2. On 2 occasions, the maid service cleaned our room and did not put towels in the bathroom. When we told the front desk, they were rude. 3. The hotel lobby has an annoying and overpowering air scent. 4. This hotel was recently remodeled, but they forgot to remodel the bathrooms. In fact, this is my biggest complaint about my stay here. The bathroom in our room was awful!! In short, if you don't want to spend too much money and don't care about amenities, stay here. If you value service and expect a little more in a hotel, stay elsewhere.

Booked a deluxe room online but was informed after the fact that rooms were sold out and we were upgraded to one of the two penthouse suites. Nice room with access to roof deck which was a big space that would have been made better by providing the appropriate lounge furniture. We asked for and were provided with a chair to put outside to take advantage of it. The room is very nicely decorated and the housekeeping staff kept it well maintained. The hotel has a nice restaurant -- Hola Lola -- which was good for dinner but not great for breakfast. For breakfast we experienced undercooked bacon and sausage which had us getting take-out after the second day. Dinners were good, although the restaurant seemed sparsely attended. The front desk staff is wonderful in the morning through early evening -- very friendly and helpful. The front desk at late night seems to be a little more stand-offish. Parking is right across the street in a municipal lot and the hotel offers passes which cover parking -- just ask the day staff. The beach and the boardwalk is just beyond the parking lot -- very convenient. Lovely hotel. I would stay there again.

Just add "Not" to everything what you read in this Hotel Features: - Parking Not available even for $1 per hour - Checked in at 3p.m., Our room was Not ready - Restourant Not working, or you are the only customer. - Hotel is Not close to Miami Beach downtown and restourants. - Room and Bed were Not very clean. - Hotel Staff hardly speak English. And Manager.... She was Not friendly at all. - Surrounding area is Not pretty... Broken front-ocean hotels and buildings... - Everything does Not worth of your $$$-s and very expensive...
