This hotel was in an excellent location to all that South Beach has to offer! We self-parked around the corner for $20 per 24-hour period, which was much cheaper than the valet option at hotel. The difference is that the hotel valet gives in-out privileges while the self-park garage does not. But for our needs, the self-park option worked out great.
We did not dine at the hotel, other than visiting the third floor cafe one time. My daughter was hungry so she picked up a cup with yogurt and granola (it had 3 berries on top). No price on it. She opened it as I went to ask for the price, so automatically, I knew we were buying it. Turns out that yogurt was $18 - That is outrageous.
Overall, I loved the hotel's location, but wouldn't go back. There are so many hotels to choose from. The pool was nice, but too warm, and it definitely is geared towards adults. The pools are also smaller than they seem in the photos. But my biggest issue had to do with how small the rooms are. It was just my pre-teen and me in the room, but I felt really cramped. I knew that it was small ahead of time, but I couldn't really understand what that meant until I got there.
