Great Guest Experience
Wonderful hotel in a quiet area of South Beach. The entire staff treated us so well, I just can’t say enough good things about them. Unlike larger hotels here you are warmly treated as a friendly guest. Jamal, Raoul, Kevin and company could not have made our stay any better. Top notch service.
