Travel tips
Many of downtown Miami's museums and parks are within a 15-20 minute walk, including Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace, the Frost Museum of Science, and Pérez Art Museum Miami, so comfortable walking shoes cover a lot of ground. For farther attractions like Wynwood Walls, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, or the Miami Beach sights (Fontainebleau, The Bass, Miami Beach Botanical Garden), plan on a rideshare or car since these sit several kilometers away. Booking a club room or suite is worth considering if you want lounge access with complimentary breakfast and appetizers, especially given some guest feedback about room rates relative to amenities.

Several reviewers describe rooms as comfortable, clean, and modern, though a few note the property feels somewhat dated in places.
