Depends what you are looking for. I searched for "Art Deco" area and I ended up in South Beach. It's a lovely hotel if that's the experience you are looking for. But I was with my family and none of us slept due to the noise until 5am. If I was 25 - would have been amazing. Staff was very nice and apologetic, but we should have never booked there in the first place. I'd recommend for a family free weekend if you are looking to be out most of the night.

Room had a foul smell and was not very clean. We requested housekeeping daily, but it seems they only took out the trash and replenish the towels, coffee, bottled water and made the bed. Floor was not vacuumed as I saw the same debris on the floor for the whole duration of out stay. Nothing was wiped downed. The large dresser had all the draws missing. The windows do not open. The only thing this hotel has, its location to the restaurants and the beach. The pool was dirty with debris floating on top of the water.

Day 1 sheets were dirty on the bed and i had to keep asking for housekeeping 2 hours later. Day 2 shower was cloaked and no clean towels were available. Day 3 we had to purchase our own toiletries. The overall experience was terrible, i will never choose that hotel again. Management kept hanging up on expedia to avoid the issues. One was the lowest i could add it should be negative stars!

Beautiful Deco building, one of the stars of Ocean Dr. Experiencing the atmosphere of the ‘70-s is worth a little tear and wear here and there. Beautifully placed across the beach. Great bar inside.

Breakfast is not included, I never saw the pool, you had to walk through several different places to get to the elevator to get to the rooms. When I arrived I had to pay a resort fee but this was no resort maybe a 2 star resort 2.5 because the views were breathtaking. However the room smelt like mildew and was extremely cold. I stayed in the penthouse and while the views were nice I could barely tolerate the smell and temperature. The thermostat did not work. I loved the idea of the outdoor shower and the balcony was fantastic the view was blocked a bit but good nonetheless.

When we arrived in the room you could feel the springs in the bed. We asked twice for it to be fixed with a mattress topper or other mattress and they told us it was fixed. When we returned it was not any different and we discovered the mattress was actually on the bed upside down- so you were laying on the bottom springs of the mattress. We had to flip the mattress and in the process we found that the sheets had several stains. There was also no remote for the TV and after another call down to the desk they brought one that still didn’t work. The staff was very unresponsive and overall not impressed with this property and would not return.

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our stay very much. Hotel is very clean, our room was spacious and confortable. Location is great right on Ocean Drive! Beach is right there. Also we had free bikes from the hotel! Be prepared for the music noise on Ocean Drive at least until midnight, but that’s South Beach…we will come back. Daniel & Celeste

Classic art deco hotel in a great location. Liked getting beach towels and chairs and walking across to spend time on the beach. Lots of great dining nearby. Had a room in the corner overlooking the street and the restaurant/bar, but didn't realize the windows were not completely closed until the day after we listed to the music on a Saturday night until 2:30 am. Ask for a quiet room.

Our stay was above our expectations! I have stayed in South Beach before but this location is really where all the action is. If you are OK with a little noise from the shows at night (until 1-3am max on weekends) this place is great! We were surely OK and appreciated the excellent service and lovely modernized rooms. I would stay there again!
