Old, and no frills. Great location.

Positives: Downtown and across from Bay side Mall. Close to bus stops for easy transportation.

Negatives: Bad elevators, slow and most of the time one was not working at all.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 02 Jan 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was nicely appointed and very conveniently located. The three elevators were not sufficient to handle a full hotel. They were slow, noisy and unreliable. Staff was not helpful when we asked to use the stairs.

Positives: Very convenient to the AA Arena and the Waterfront Port.

Negatives: Small, slow, and unreliable elevators. Had to be rescued by firefighters.

It was not bad for an older hotel, clean and least had a restaurant.

Positives: It was close to the pier.

Negatives: Some people could of been more friendly.

The overall comfort of the room was good. The view was aweful and the noisy due to construction was ridiculous. We did not spend a lot of time in the room. If you plan to spend time in your room this is not the place for you. We felt very safe and the proximity to restaurants and entertainment was great!

Positives: The close proximity to the pier and entertainment.

Negatives: Very noisy. Construction on roof until 6pm then in room next door at 8am!!!

We stayed one night we enjoyed bayside shops across the street and the hotel is a little dated but nice.

Positives: The location is perfect to all attractions.

Negatives: Charged to park and very little of parking.

This hotel is outrageously overpriced. It has no redeeming features. The room was ice cold, rooms were not made up until late in the afternoon (after several requests), dinner was inedible, no food or drinks available between breakfast and dinner. Walls are paper thin so the rooms are noisy. We would not stay there again under any circumstances.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Cold, dirty, noisy, uncomfortable, terrible food.

This is a sound choice for those taking cruises. Things to do across the street and right between the airport and the cruise lines. The hotel staff was very helpful. We stayed a day before the cruise and a day after the cruise. The only negative comment is the hotel is old.

Positives: Location was excellent, walked across the street for shops and dining, short cab trips to ships and airport.

Negatives: Older building with narrow hallways.

Customer service /front desk was very good. I called ahead to confirm and they were very nice. I arrived early and there was no problem we were given rooms many hours before standard check in time. Great location to bayside and fast to port of Miami if your crushing most always stay in a 4 or 5 star we like to spoil ourselves like anyone but I would stay here again as long.

Positives: Loved being so close to the bayside and port.

Negatives: Poor service, breakfast was over priced for what was offered, my friends went to the bar for cocktails and felt the service was awful.

We arrived 2 hours early of check-in but were allowed in our rooms, which was great. We made an easy across-the-street walk to the water front and shopping. (no beach) We could see the cruise ships come in from our upper level bayside room (which we requested and received) The beds were incredibly comfortable. The room was adequately sized, not large.

Positives: The location to the cruise ship piers was good. Bayside shopping good too.

Negatives: On a noisy and busy street with low flying airplanes throughout the night.

The hotel was great for the location. It was across from Bayside park and there were lots of things for us to do the night before our cruise without having to take a taxi anywhere. The hotel is older but in fairly good shape. We were really only there to sleep.

Positives: The location was great for our cruise.

Negatives: Older and a little dirty.

I stayed for 6 nights, I extend one more night and they charged me $224.00 used for an extra night. I think instead to recognize the long stay tourists, they punish you with a high tariff. The hotel is an old hotel like a 2 stars and the rate is for a 4 star. I will not recommend this hotel.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Poor services, hotel in bad conditions, too expensive.

Negatives: No heat, no ABC, bad location, dirty area surrounding hotel, not rated properly at 3 stars.

Good location, just in front of bayside shopping and restaurants. The hotel is an old building, needs a remodeling.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Old building, need a remodeling.

Worn down and dated. Walls and windows thin so very noisy. Elevator dirty and first room dirty. Nice location in Downtown Miami.

Positives: Helpful staff.

Negatives: Dirty and very noisy due to thin walls and windows.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Oct 2007 rated 6 out of 10.

A little expensive for what you get. It is very close to bayside and close to port which worked well for us.

Positives: Close to port, restaurant in hotel, smoking rooms.

Negatives: Had funny smell when you walked in. We did not have wash rags in the room. TV did not work well.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 22 Jul 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

Service at the desk, bar and restaurant was excellent. Parking was sparse. Waterfront shopping across the street was just great. Definitely will recommend to others.

Positives: Nearness to the port of Miami. Comfort.

Negatives: Nothing unpleasant enough to warrant comment.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 20 May 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

Great location (across from bayside), convenient parking, easy to get in and out and close to i-95. Price is right for the location and amenities. I have stayed here in the past and will stay again.

Positives: Location, parking, price was right.

Negatives: There were no minuses really.

We were very disappointed with our hotel stay. The rooms were falling apart and not very clean. The staff with the exception of the bellman was unfriendly and made you feel that you were an intrusion in their day instead of a customer; this includes front desk personnel as well as the restaurant. We did not feel safe in this hotel, right outside were homeless people who walked into next door restaurants and would dig through the trash as well as harass customers. It was noisy with the construction right behind the building. The only good thing was that there was always a taxi waiting outside which was nice since there is no shuttle service.

Positives: Close to port.

Negatives: Not clean, staff not courteous, no shuttles, poor maintenance.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 04 Apr 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was OK. I did not expect a five star but it was clean and the staff was friendly. I do wish that they had a shuttle bus to the port.

Positives: The staff was very nice.

Negatives: Wish they had transportation from the port.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 17 Jan 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

We found the hotel to be clean - ready when we arrived - quiet with a great location. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Positives: Location, view were great and restaurant in hotel convenient.

Negatives: Only there for one night so really found nothing not to like.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 15 Jan 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

We had a wonderful time, the hotel is in a great location, close to all of the attractions, the restaurant food is really good, and the rooms are clean and comfy. We plan on coming back!

Positives: Great location, tons of stuff to do.

Negatives: This hotel needs more parking and parking fee should be included in the price of the hotel stay.
