I very much like this hotel. The location was perfect. I like to be in the middle of things. It was also quiet but plenty of action just outside the door. I have stayed in a lot of hotels in the art deco district. I would definitely stay here again.

Art Deco. Great location. Loud area but the window AC unit helped to white noise and did not notice it at night. Friendly staff for check in. No issues.

My stay was great. The staff both night staff and day staff was very accomodating and knowledgeable with recommendations. I arrived late for a 24 hour lay over in Miami and they held my luggage and gave me a towel to use at the beach across the street and at the pool next door.

Don't bother with the breakfast --better off going to Denny's around the corner which is fresh as opposed to nasty staff at the property next door or a 'served' buffet of wet eggs, soggy toast, uncooked potatoes.
You can't brag about two bottles of water a day when you have to ask for them because your room gets "freshened up" 2 times in 6 days.
