Location: Sister hotel to Cleveland, right next door but on Collins Drive and Not Ocean Drive. on 10th Street, center of the famous ocean drive strip.
Hotel: 3 story Art Deco delight. Suites are the way to go , Living room area, King Bed, Hot tub in bath room. Great romantic room. this is my 2nd time there and it didn't disappoint. They host a happy hour at 4:3-5:30 pm and provide a nice galls of wine or a beer. ( who does this anymore, its so nice!) Nice touches like that. You can get beach towels at the front desk.
Staff: Awesome, they are so friendly and accommodating. I cannot stress how great that is in SOBE. from the front desk to the Bellman and all the workers, always a smile on their face and happy. House keeping is great ( i had AVIS, so friendly)
Beach: the famous Miami beach is 2 blocks away, easy short walk, you enter on 10th street, the best part right there is a Bathroom, so when out on beach, no need to run to hotel. Boucher Brothers rent chairs $12 each and umbrellas $20 each, so worth it , so just do it.
