Location - I originally was looking for a hotel that was near the South Miami beach but even 4* hotels were all around $300+ so I looked a little further away and this 5* hotel is about 15 min SW of the main beach area, in the Coral Gables district. From there, we drove about 20 min W to shop at the large Dolphin Mall. There are high end restaurants in the area but on a lazy, late Sunday morning, not much was open in the area.
Check-in- friendly and efficient.
Parking - underground parking for $16 self-park/ $22 valet behind the hotel but connected to hotel by the elevator.
Room - decent size with 2 double beds. I've stayed in several Hyatts before and not sure why a 5* hotel only offers double beds and not queen sized beds. The room was very warm, despite the A/C being blasted all night.
The hotel itself is very pretty and nicely decorated. I would give it 5*'s but it loses 1* because the bathroom fan wasn't working, the free coffee in the room only had 1 cup and no stir sticks (my husband and I had to share the cup and mix it with my toothbrush), only 3 bath towels, and the A/C wasn't working well.
Price - bid for it on Priceline so considered it a good value, especially compared to Miami hotels by the beach.
