Nice area with lots of easy walking distance restaurants. We had the 3 bedroom - which was actually a 1 bedroom and 2 more connecting rooms, which was not what I was expecting. It was fine though. Nice pool and great view. Restaurant is closed. Would stay here again

Thank you Julie for your positive review, it was such a pleasure to host you and your family. You were all fantastic guests, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves! We're hoping the building has the restaurant/bar re-opened by the end of summer, so hopefully it'll be back open for your next trip here!

My room wasn’t great and they kept disabling my key to my room and one of the lamps didn’t work
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024
Response from Andy on 12 May 2024
Hi Nichole, I never once received a message from you regarding your Hotel Keycard and the lamp. I would've happily addressed those issues for you. Not sure what wasn't "great" about the hotel room (2010-1), but we will look for ways to improve without any real feedback. Thank you, and I hope you had a safe travel home.

Needs refurbishment. 5 mins to get lift, no restaurant or bar, internet so poor it’s unusable, keys reset every 48 hours
Stayed 6 nights in May 2024
Response from Andy on 9 May 2024
Hi David, the Panorama Restaurant & Bar on the 8th floor is being renovated and we do not have any control over that. The expectation right now is it will be re-opened by the end of the Summer. We haven't received any complaints regarding the internet but we will look into this matter on the room you stayed in. The Keys DO NOT reset every 48 hours, yours just had to be swapped because of your last minute extension.We always appreciate constructive feedback and will look into ways we can improve this room for the next guest! I hope you had a safe travel home, and all the best.

Hello Angel, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the pool as much as our photography of it. I love the pool and jacuzzi deck because of the wonderful views it provides while cooling off in the hot summer sun! It was a a pleasure to host you, and I hope you had a safe travel home!

The location was amazing. There are so many frauds in the room. A broken shower support bar (my husband held it and became loose, good thing he did not get injured), no hooks in the bath room, A completely broken leg for a dresser (They did not even replace it with a right one), could not get more toilet paper right away, no room phone, did not know the front desk could not help us because we reserved a private residency which we were not aware and so on.

Mold, bad smell, and horrible service.
Arrived and immediately smelled a bad odor. Couldn’t figure out what it was until the ceiling started pouring down water on me at 4:00 a.m. Obvious signs of mold and my daughter has Ashtma so I had to end the trip early. Property owner took zero responsibility. Will never use again.
Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023
Response from SoFLA Vacations on 10 Jan 2024
We sent over the building technician when Jason first reported this to us, and it was determined that the water leak was caused by Condensation from the AC running continuously and the balcony door being left Open. There was no mold nor odor in the unit, just a damaged AC caused by our guest Jason. We would not recommend hosting this guest.

Customer service is the deal-breaker with this group. They treated me like I was their employee, rather than their guest. There is a $250 deposit that is not disclosed before one has already paid for the stay. I was threatened to have my stay reduced from 4 nights to 1 night, on Christmas Day, if I did not pay the deposit upon arrival, and that $100 would be deducted if I did not check-out by 11am.

Response from The SoFLA Team on 8 Jan 2024
Hi Shelley, Our listing discloses that there is a damage deposit of 250 and we also send all our guests the property instructions 3 days in advance so all our guests are fully aware of the expectation upon arrival and departure and any fees that can be incurred during a guests stay. We are sorry to hear you felt attack, since that is not our intent. We hope and see that overall, your stay was a good one and we hope now knowing all our terms and conditions, you can rest assure that you will have a lovely time.

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023
Response from The SoFLA team on 11 Dec 2023
Dear Carolyn, we immediately sent security to the unit and was told that the party next to your unit was not overly loud and ask to please just be a little more quiet, which they did do. TV had cable, but it was not a smart TV, which is what you asked if the unit had and lastly, the hotel sits in the heart of Coconut Grove, where it boasts over 30 different restaurants to choose from, just a few steps from the hotel and our guests love the variety of places to eat. We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay but we feel the review is unfair since you did get exactly what was booked at a great rate.

The property promised a working TV and a clean area. These services were not as promised, the TV was not operating properly and there was a lot of dust behind it that was not cleaned. They sent someone to fix the TV; it was not fixed, and no accommodation was given or compensation. They then promised me that it would be operating and would send someone who could fix the issue for sure, but nobody showed up. I was extremely disappointed with the services especially coming from the hotel and Airbnb people.

We delivered a TV that worked. You mentioned you wanted to use your streaming services since the TV was a smart TV and we sent engineering over to get that going for you the next day. This was a two night reservation and you had arrived late the day prior and we had no one to go see your unit to check why the smart TV was not allowing you to download your services. But as promised, the next day you did get to see your streaming account.
