Travel tips
If you want to maximize the included hot breakfast, plan to go early, as guests report crowding and prompt closing. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk to Lincoln Road, and many major attractions (like the Pérez Art Museum Miami and Bayside Marketplace) are a short drive away. Some guests mention street and elevator noise, so light sleepers may want to request a quieter room location.

Reported drawbacks include noise (street and elevator), occasional maintenance/functionality issues in rooms, and frustrations around housekeeping frequency and towels for larger parties.
