Travel tips
Miami's main attractions such as the Pérez Art Museum, Wynwood Walls and Bayside Marketplace are roughly 8 km away, so plan on a car or rideshare. Valet parking is available for a fee. A reviewer suggested stocking up at a grocery store around 2 miles north, since on-site shops were considered pricey. Guests report slow elevators at busy times like checkout, so allow extra time, and one noted weekday construction noise from an adjacent building.
What guests say
Guests praise the pool and beach, the ocean and bay views from suites, and a clean-looking lobby. Some found the front desk, pool and beach staff friendly. Others describe rude or unprofessional service, including the front desk and pool staff, and a strict pool towel policy. Housekeeping and cleanliness draw repeated complaints, such as dust, missing supplies and dirty fixtures. Other criticisms are slow elevators, outdated or poorly equipped kitchens, weekday construction noise nearby, and photos or listings that didn't match the units. A large refrigerator was noted as a plus.
