Negative Reviews
negative:
Not in Good Condition
Many guests complain that the hotel has definitely seen better days. The facilities are generally somewhat rundown and are in desperate need of refurbishment, and the furniture needs to be replaced. Some guests also found their rooms to be dirty, while others had problems with bugs.
negative:
No Amenities
The hotel does not offer any of the amenities you would find at most other hotels such as a spa, swimming pool, hot tub or fitness center. You may not be too concerned about the absence of a pool so close to the beach, but be advised.
negative:
No Parking
The hotel does not have any private parking. This can be a major problem as free parking on Miami Beach is notoriously hard to find, and paying for public parking over the course of your stay can become very expensive.
