Beach Location Superb
Guests say the best quality of this hotel is the location directly across from the beach. It's located on North Miami Beach, on Collins Avenue, the main road that runs parallel to the beach. You will have easy access to many shops and restaurants, as well as a Walgreens and a Publix.
positive:
Swimming in Miami
Guests enjoy the onsite swimming pool. They say it's a fair size to accommodate the hotel guests, and is a great place to gather in the evening with friends.

Basic Accommodations Get the Job Done
This hotel offers a good value for basic lodging. If you're looking for a place to just lay your head after a day at the beach and a night on the town, this is the place for you. The facilities are adequate, no frills, and basic lodging which can't be beat.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lack of Amenities Leaves Guests Wanting More
This hotel is lacking in basic amenities that are included in the rate. There is onsite parking available, but for an additional, expensive daily rate. Guests are also disappointed that there is no breakfast, bar, or restaurant on the property.
negative:
Rooms Need Updating
Rooms are quite old with dated facilities that are desperate for an update. The air conditioner has poor flow and it doesn't adequately cool the sleeping areas. Rooms are small, tired, and dim according to guests. There is also a permanent damp smell about them which is off-putting to guests.
negative:
Noise Problems Throughout
Guests report that walls are a bit thin at this hotel. You can hear footsteps in the corridors, noise from the next-door neighbours, and noise from guests hanging out at the pool late at night. You may not be in for a good night's rest if you don't pack earplugs.
