In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Prime Ocean Drive location — Directly across from the beach and steps from the Art Deco Historic District, with bars, restaurants, and shops close by.
  • Spotless bathrooms — Guests repeatedly note the cleanliness of the bathrooms, a detail that stands out for an oceanfront property.
  • On-site dining and bar — The restaurant earns praise for dinner, and the bar and live entertainment add to the South Beach atmosphere.
  • Helpful staff and smooth valet — Staff are described as pleasant and helpful, and the valet parking service is efficient.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Street noise can be an issue — Some guests report that windows don't block out sound well, leading to disturbed sleep, especially in older-style rooms.
  • Older-style rooms show quirks — Some rooms have squeaky floors and dated features, typical of a classic Art Deco property.
  • Breakfast choices limited — The continental breakfast is a highlight for many, but a guest notes the selection, especially meats, could be more varied.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.

“Nice classic South Beach hotel with an excellent location. Rooms reasonably comfortable, clean, and well equipped. Good location-price-quality relation.”

“Arrived early after a cruise and could drop off bags at the front. Staff provided towels for the beach while waiting. Room was clean with a nice view, but it was an older-style room with quirks like squeaky floors. The biggest challenge was noise – windows didn't block sound well and I was woken several times. Good experience, but struggled with the noise.”

“For a hotel on the ocean side, the bathrooms are spotless – very important to me.”

“The restaurant was great for dinner, with excellent dishes. Exceptionally comfortable bed, flat-screen TV with cable, climate control, and an individual safe. Magnificent location within walking distance of Twist.”
