Business stay
My room was quite small but clean. Nice linens. It was very muggy and actually cold. No heat in the rooms and once the air conditioning went off the room smelled musty. The highlight of my stay was being served breakfast by Franchesca. She was friendly and very quick. Lovely girl. The hotel can make some easy improvements like having cups next to the chilled water container. Out of 4 days there were only cups once. Waiting for someone to notice to and give you a glass took forever. Carpets in hallways need cleaning. However the staff was friendly.

A Lovely Piece of History in a Very Sweet Hotel
The staff at the front desk were just lovely. I could tell that they were always looking to make sure that we had what we needed and and were available to us at any time. I was really surprised by the restaurant the food was lovely it was a beautiful breakfast/brunch. I would definitely come back and stay in this hotel again.

Hotel location was perfect. Checkin was quick. Room was clean and bathroom well appointed. Coffee machine was awesome. We really liked the ability to use chaises and umbrella at the beach. The amenities were supposed to include a cocktail… instead we got a 3oz pour of cheap Prosecco.

Subpar experience
Floora in hallways had trash on them and many stains on carpet. Bedroom was small. Bathroom even smaller. Bed creeked a lot. Heat didn't go above 60 degrees so we were cold during our winter stay. Won't be coming back.

They charge an exorbitant resort fee and calling this a “resort” is a huge stretch of the imagination. This is basically a Motel 6 on South Beach.

Noisy. Equinox gym partnership is a scam.
This hotel had potential, but man did it fall short. The rooms are very nice and spacious and the bar area is super nice. I particularly enjoyed the mojito demo and a pleasant conversation with the barman. The location is also excellent. The 3rd floor is under renovation. The rooms tend to be noisy, from construction, machinery, and music and conversations from the bar, especially if you are above the bar or on the corridor open to the bar area. However, by far my biggest issue with this hotel is the misleading and frankly dishonest advertising of the "free day pass" use of the local Equinox. This is nothing short of a timeshare-level scam. Firstly, I received only one day pass for my 3-night stay, therefore guaranteeing at most a single day of workout. Secondly, when I arrived at the location for my workout, the experience was anything but pleasant. After going through the lengthy check in process, the staff told me, "Ok, enjoy your workout." Then, as I'm walking to the workout area, I hear: "Oh, actually, I forgot. You have to have a meeting with a membership coordinator before you can work out. Is that okay with you?" "It doesn't sound like I have a choice." "It can be as long as you like. 5 seconds or 30 minutes." So I meet the coordinator, shake his hand, say "thank you" and go to my workout. That's what they told me. He then follows me through the gym and becomes confrontational. "Actually this is a thing we're doing with the hotel and you have to meet with me."

4/10 Fair

William at guest services was AMAZING. SO friendly and helpful. Always smiling, offering suggestions. Just genuinely such a kind, professional young man. The hotel had some really cool aspects to it. The elevator is so cool, the outdoor area is beautiful!!! I don’t know why the foyer to the newer sides has such a STRONG pet odor? But it’s really bad. They’ve tried to cover it up, but please ya’ll get some ozone machines in there! The elevator in the newer area also smells REALLY bad. Pool area is as nice, but the size of the pool means it was actually VERY WARM, not refreshing at all. It was pretty, but HOT. The upgraded room we got was nice. Lack of lighting made it hard to see at night when trying to find things in luggage. However we couldn’t figure out how to turn off a light in the bathroom that bothered my husband all night. I slept fine. Room was clean. Door did not seal properly, so noise was definitely an issue, and it made me concerned about rodents and bugs being able to get through the cracks. I really enjoy supporting boutique hotels if possible, I’d give this one a 4/10 overall. But William’s service 10/10. You have to Valet park for $45/night. Which I think is steep given the hotel isn’t that nice. There is street parking available metered but it would be more than $45. So we got to spend $45.
