What a gem in the heart of SoBe AND far away enough from all the party-people you don’t want to hear going to bed at all hours of the morning! The location is 5 stars! Quiet, clean, so convenient to beach and shops and great dining options. Maman was our morning ritual. Excellent manager, Eddie was a joy, super helpful and accommodating. The whole hotel was spotless and well maintained. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Cute Boutique style hotel with nice rooftop deck & pool. Eddie was very helpful at checkin. I had mentioned it was my husband’s birthday & they had decorated the room which really made an impression on my husband. I appreciate the amazing customer service & the fact they went the extra mile to add thoughtful touch to our trip. Spacious & clean rooms.

Very clean and cute room. Need more towels. Very good location close to beach and many nice restaurants. The first guy who did our check-in was very nice but the other guy who was working at the lobby on our last day knocked our room to put us out when I was taking shower. He didn’t know we paid for late check-out. It was not nice. Otherwise, we enjoyed staying.

I would stay again now that I’m aware…

Overall the stay was great. Extremely close to the beach. Beds were comfortable. Rooms were clean. Food at the restaurant was decent. My only issue is that because they don’t have a physical person on duty after a certain hour, you have no one monitoring the floors or building. There was someone banging on a room door down the hall from us for hours because they couldn’t get into the room. Either the person inside was asleep or didn’t want to let them in. It was extremely loud and echoing throughout the floor, disruptive to our sleep and other guests on the floor were very annoyed and upset. There was no one available to tell or to come handle the situation. I would prefer someone be onsite. Also, if you arrive after 10pm, you have to call and someone has to instruct you on how to get to your room key and it involves carrying your luggage up some stairs if you don’t have anyone with you to watch it so that you can come back to open the main door and use the elevator.
