The hotel offers stylish rooms with a great view of the Miami skyline, but the location is a bit far from downtown. The service is excellent, with a nice touch of a welcome drink, though the area has had some issues in the past. The dining experience is delightful with freshly prepared dishes, and the facilities are well-appointed.

The hotel is located near the Little Havana district in a very residential neighborhood with a fantastic Rooftop Bar & Restaurant. The rooms offer stunning views of downtown Miami from the upper floors, featuring 2 double bunk beds that my daughter absolutely loved and a really nice decor. The service was exceptional, including a welcoming drink upon arrival. However, the hotel is situated in quite a rough neighborhood, slightly affecting the overall experience. The dining experience was top-notch with iconic sandwiches, and the facilities were great.

I absolutely loved the hotel's location in a residential neighborhood, offering a quick walk to many restaurants in Little Havana. The rooms with two double bunk beds and views of the Miami skyline were a hit with my daughter, although we did miss having toiletries provided. However, the semi-sketchy area and distance from Miami airport were a downside.
