- Beautiful interior rooms.
- Corridors need improvement. Garage separated from hotel is difficult with small children.
“All in all, a nice urban hotel. The room interiors were recently renovated and rather plush, but the corridors had bumpy carpet and peeling wallpaper. Parking configuration made the stay a bit difficult with small children.”

- Location, rooms were recently renovated
- Very unfriendly staff they don't seem to care at all about the guests, elevators too too far, hallways so tiny confined that it is almost claustrophobic
“The location of this hotel is good since it is close to most of Miami's hot places, on the other hand as it's downtown can be a little dangerous sometimes.
The staff of this hotel made me wonder how come a hotel like that is still in bussiness since they are so cold, they never said hello to us, thank you, Good Morning, nothing! you know, simple things that you expect from friendly people. They were not friendly at all, it is like they really don't care if you are staying there or not. I felt I was invisible.
I've stayed at a Doubletree before and they would give us cookies when we check-in...in this one they would not even say "welcome".
The rooms are ridiculously far from the elevator, honestly it is like 5, 7 minutes walking through the hallways...very confined claustrophobic hallways to be honest.
At least the rooms were confortable even though it smelled cleaning products so strong that it was hard to breath inside the room at the first night and quite honestly it could be a little cleaner.
I would not reccoment this hotel. For the same hotel category you can get a nicer place like The Radisson for example where I stayed last time. Where at least you feel that you are welcome in there!”

“I'm a very satisfied customer. The hotel, although not the typical style hotel because of being part of a condominium, is great. I was given a big double queen room even with a sitting room that overlooked the neighboring hotel, a Marriott Courtyard. The location is good too, just a block away of the Metromover's and bus station Omni. I even took the bus to Miami beach, which cost $1.50 and took 15 minutes. Although there is really nothing around the hotel the Metromover takes you to Baymarket in 10 minutes. So even as a tourist the location is good.”

“The room was infested with small bugs that were on the end table and closets...everywhere!!!
The room needed to be fumigated!!! Never before have I stayed at a decent/new/high rise hotel like this one before where the room was bug infested. They even ended up on the free check-in cookie.
Horrible experience even though it was a Modern building in a great location. Too bad the great view did not compensated for the feeling of having to deal with not bringing home these small insects.”
