We had no heat in our room during a very cold period in Miami. They gave us three thin blankets and no price adjustment. Desk clerk was not friendly. The continental breakfast was 2 cold stale croissants and water or coffee! The price looked very good and we overpaid for the room and experience! I wonder if the airconditoning works? It lookeed like some of the towels we were given had been previously used--they were wet and wrinkled! The lock on the door was broken. It was late and we had no place else to go so we stayed the night.

On checking in they tried to charge me an extra $2/night for a "safety deposit box fee." --totally bogus: I paid in advance via Travelocity. My room was dirty, scuffs on wall, hot and cold faucets were reversed in tub. There was no hot water for two days of my week-long stay. Bathroom poorly lit. My friends in another room had a stopped up toilet. They were told to use the toilet in the lobby until maintenance showed up on Monday (this was Saturday) -- they eventually asked for the plunger and cleared it themselves. My other friends in another room both developed skin rashes and hives from something in their bed -- insects? chemicals? who knows? I had to raid the maid's cart myself for towels, glasses, and shampoo, as these items were not regularly or reliably replaced. There is no wireless internet in the rooms, even though on my bedside table, there was a thing called a "wireless internet box," complete with blinking green lights and "data ports." There was no internet in the lobby either for about half my stay. The desk help were surprisingly rude and evasive when questioned about any of these peculiarities. Music in lobby was a local radio station played loudly through broken speakers -- very grating. Lobby is dark, low ceilings --- poor feng shui -- bad vibes. There was no coffee-maker in my room, though the website says there will be. The continental breakfast was only offered between 8 am and 9 am which is not really useful if you have to be on your way somewhere. No worries though, because you don't really want it: Breakfast was coffee (I didn't try it), orange juice (very watery) and stale croissants -- so stale as to be inedible. Avoid this hotel.

The staff was friendly, the hotel was outdated. The bed was very uncomfortable. Valet parking is $25 per night, the hotel does not have a parking lot. There is a public parking lot across the street but good luck getting in. The hotel has a nice view of the river. There was no breakfast offered.

NOT MIAMI'S FINEST, BUT DEFINENTLY WORTH THE MONEY.
07/13/2008The hotel has a look on the inside that shows it was once a great downtown location. over the years, and perhaps a few changes of ownership, the hotel has ...
THE HOTEL HAS A LOOK ON THE INSIDE THAT SHOWS IT WAS ONCE A GREAT DOWNTOWN LOCATION. OVER THE YEARS, AND PERHAPS A FEW CHANGES OF OWNERSHIP, THE HOTEL HAS LOST SOME OF ITS LUXURY AND COULD USE SOME UPDATING OF THE ROOMS FURNITURE. THER IS A CLUB THAT IS OPEN ON FRIDAY NIGHTS DOWNSTAIRS IN THE HOTEL THATS AWESOME! THE HOTELS DINNING WAS AVERAGE. IT REMINDED ME OF A DENNY'S OR BOB EVANS, AND THE FOOD WAS ALWAYS HOT AND FRESH. THERE WAS A WAITRESS WHO WAS VERY POLITE AND THOUGHTFUL. OVER ALL, FOR 68 BUCKS A NIGHT AND YOUR IN MIAMI, THERE ARE SOME MUCH WORSE LOCATIONS YOU CAN LAY YOUR HEAD IM SURE. IF YOUR ON A BUDGET, OR WANT TO SAVE THOSE EXTRA BUCKS TO SHOP OR PARTY WITH, THIS IS YOUR DESTINATION!

After reading the reviews, I was scared of this hotel. However, when I got there the room was quite nice. Clean, and much bigger than my friends place at the Hyatt Regency next door. Equipped with all the amenemities, like coffee machine, iron, cups, ice maker outside, etc. Okay view too. I would say this place is equal to a Motel 6.
