–

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Pool hours can be limited — One guest specifically advised checking pool hours as it closes at certain times, which could be disappointing if you plan to swim later in the day.
  • Cleanliness and room condition vary — The rating category for rooms and cleanliness sits at 6, lower than other aspects, suggesting some inconsistency.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
  • Not a luxury stay — The property is positioned as a practical, budget-friendly option rather than a high-end hotel, which might not suit those seeking premium amenities.

“Really enjoyed our one-night stay. The rooms were huge and perfect, with quality sheets and separate beds. The setting was fab—a short walk to a lot of good restaurants around, a bus stop, and Miami downtown. South Beach district was worth staying in.”

“This hotel was set in a central area next to good restaurants and buses. I tried some drinks at bar Yard House, located 10 minutes walk away. The room and facilities were immaculately clean.”

“Staying with my friends was great! We loved the vibe and enjoyed the uplifting dance floor at the nearby club. The pool area was definitely a highlight for us. Just a heads up for future travelers—check pool hours since it's closed during certain times.”
