Had an excellent stay for Miami music week. Perfect location and great staff and dining. Loved breakfast in the morning and the ocean view of the bay. Wife and I will return for sure.

We had a good stay. I would recommend if you are planning on doing a lot outside of the hotel. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Minor issues that weren’t an inconvenience to us like the AC dripping water from the vent, we resolved with placing a bucket underneath. The bathroom door was hard to shut close and the bathroom light wouldn’t turn on unless you hit the button three times. Buffet hot breakfast was great with a lot of options. Pool was clean. View was nice with the bay and marina. You can tell the hotel rooms are outdated but very clean and that is more important. Staff were very nice. Large parking lot that was always empty which was great since we were getting back to the hotel late. Like all of Florida, a car is needed to get around. The area East of the hotel towards the beach is good but you don’t want to go West inland! Unless, you’re just driving through. There was a Benihana restaurant walkable distance! Overall, 8/10

It was a bit run down for the price. I expected a little nicer property for $290 a night however, the staff I would grade A . Check in and out was great service.

They put us on the first floor, the carpet was so dirty in the hallway way, it’s a great place to stay especially how its so rounded by the beach and shuckers restaurant, would stay again if the clean the place, another problem I had, our trip was already booked and paid for but the still wanted a deposit which makes no sense,

My experience there was great!! There’s restaurants and bars that are walking distance from the hotel so I didn’t have to travel far for food or drinks. I’ll definitely come back to this hotel whenever I’m in Miami.

Pretty dingy, empty water coolers so you couldn’t refill a bottle or get a drink, musty rooms. Beautiful view of the bay, hotel could use a refurbishment and staff could be better at making sure there is access to water in the lobby 3/5 stars

Located on Biscayne Bay so you get the view of the water, with a bar that overlooks it. Quiet rooms because it is a bit older and they made them pretty solid back then. Well cared for property. Bar food is ok, fine, drinks are great. Would return as its an easy Uber ride to most places.

Needs real refurbishing. They have basically just given an old facility a face lift with new paint. No coffee for the morning other than the small in room maker. The lobby had a machine that was out of order. Mold on curtains in the room. Stayed one night to catch a cruise ship in the morning, so basically just a place to sleep. Restaurant next door had great food but some of the servers were not.

We absolutely loved our stay. I had surgery nearby and this location to recover at was perfect. The staff was amazing. The bar/restaurant location on the water with rhe views was healing. I just wish they had breakfast during the week. However you can walk to a few places nearby.

Older hotel. Nice view of the marina. Wasn’t overly impressed with the cleanliness of the room. We went to get in bed and clearly the sheets hadn’t been changed as there was long black hair in the bed. Went to the front desk and they sent new sheets to our room promptly so we could change them ourselves. Problem solved, but still not ideal!

We had a great experience here. It was a great location on the bay and had a cool restaurant next door. We could watch boats cruising around from the pool. The room was clean and for the price, we would stay here again.

Property was priced accordingly. ‘You get what you pay for’ . The bathroom had molding missing in the inside of the door and it was small. The towels are thin and small. The room was a decent size with a balcony The staff is outstanding! The coffee in the foyer is operated by the restaurant next door and does not always have creamer. If you ask at the front desk they direct you to Shuckers.(a short walk). The foyer SMELLED toooo much of air freshener. Gave my husband and I an awful headache just waiting a few minutes to check in. All and all, not a bad stay for what you pay for.

The views are amazing for this hotel, got over charged at check out $100 make sure to go over your total before they swipe your card. Also Shuckers bar and restaurants wasn’t the best service at all, kind of rude and profiling guest, but the breakfast on the 2nd floor is decent.

Late check in and need to pay for parking ( not clear on booking site ) Being on an island meant that when the draw bridge is up there is a delay which we hadn’t accounted for Shuckers and the view was good
