Not as advertised. Got a smaller room with less beds than booked. Great location but not for kids and not really close to any restaurants. Won’t be staying again.

The positives were cost (appx $200 per night) compared to hotels at $400 per night. Negatives were that TV didnt work and they couldnt fix it when notified of issue. Offered dinner at 530 pm but room had three tables and two were occupied by employees. Breakfast was 730 -830 but when we arrived there was no food or coffee.

The building is very old and can use some updates in the rooms but overall for the price and location it was not bad. The little cafe/bar next door was really nice.

The first thing I ran into was a drunk cursing at the staff and passing out in the hallway, requiring police. Then I find out the orbitz description for the property was wrong and we got a 1 bedroom apartment instead of a 3 bedroom house. The beds had no blankets, the AC unit kept switching to 76° causing the room to be hot. The hot water didn't work. There is no laundry facilities. The room was next to communal kitchen. The parking is non-existent and I got a parking ticket because the signs are not clear. The staff overall were helpful, but the place itself is the problem. The website is completely inaccurate and outdated. Don't get me started on the beds, it's like sleeping on the cheapest mattress from Walmart along with pillows that provide less support than airplane pillows. The only reason we stayed is because orbitz screwed up our other reservation and allowed an unauthorized individual to cancel it. If your a college student or traveling and young, this is fine, but for a family with kids, this is not a great place.

Staff truly needs to check guests reservations BEFORE their arrival to ensure that the property has been paid by 3rd party sites. That way they won't be charged twice for the same stay.

This is a Hostile!!! Not a lodge!!! Very run down. While we had a private room, the blinds we broken. The matress squeaked at the slightest movement and was completely uncomfortable. I had to take a Luke warm shower and dry off with exfoliating hand towels. There was a room in front of ours that would allow for 6 individuals, though there was no one in that room. There is no parking what do ever. The “kitchen” was disgusting and “breakfast” was a joke!

Not what we expected
Definitely not what we expected. The air conditioner finally cooled the room by 5am the next day. No parking. Pay to park 2 blocks away. The room was old and would be nice if updated. Holes in door, wall. They said breakfast buffet…. Cereal and bread. Very nice lady at desk, though.

This was a clean hostel. We had the rooms for just our group. The staff were very friendly and professional. The A/C was undersized, and couldn’t beat the heat, but it was June in Miami.

The only positive side is that is cheap. The place rents beds per night so you have all kinds of people living there, people smoking weed at the entrance of the place all the time, they talk until late time in the night, and is really hard to get sleep because of that. You don't have any place to park your car no matter if you want to pay for it or not. You feel unsafe in that place. The bed sheets are than old and bad quality that you can see thought them and we found hair in the towels.

This property is unsafe. I am a single woman, staying by myself, and they gave the key to my room to another couple without my permission. I was undressed in bed almost asleep when two people came into my room. I had to run to the front desk because there are no phones in the rooms, only to be told that it was a system mistake. Don't stay here, it's unsafe.
