I stayed at this hotel during the Thanksgiving Holiday and although this is not a Ritz Carlton Hotel it is a very nice hotel with a friendly staff. When I arrived at the hotel ten minutes before check-in time they told me my room was not available yet and asked me to wait in the lobby. I wasn’t bothered because I was early plus I was impressed with the location of the hotel (it is in the heart of South Beach). When they told me my room was ready the desk manager told me my room had been upgraded to a suite at no additional charge. I sarcastically told him “Is that what you tell all the guest?” He told me no and once I arrived in the room I would see that this is in deed a suite…..and he was right! The suite had a bedroom, mini-office, sitting area, free WiFi and apartment size kitchen with stainless steel appliances. I loved the hard wood floors and style of the room. I enjoyed the continental breakfast, wine hour and beach towels (I prepaid for everything in advance but for others this is the daily tourist surcharge so although it might seem complimentary you are actually paying for it). The outside seating area was really nice (wish I would have tried the Hookah). I was so scared to book at this hotel after reading some of the reviews + staying at some crummy hotels on SoBe in the past but I am so happy I booked at this hotel and encourage others to do so as well.

Remember, this hotel is not Loews (which is in walking distance) but it is an extremely nice boutique hotel. Lastly, who spends that much time in their room anyway? You are on South Beach after all.
