A most convient location.

Reviewed Jan 15, 2024
We came to town a day before our Non-Group Cruise. I searched Google Maps for a location close to the port and full of things to do. We were not disappointed!!

It was obvious the hotel was in a conversion and needed quite a bit of work but the location was fantastic. The room was clean. The staff (a young man named ICE) was fabulous. He handled everything so professionally. The hotel has an arranged shuttle to the port and it was very economical.

We could walk everywhere and the Bay Side Market Place was super. We took a hop-on-hop-off bus tour, and a harbor cruise, ate, and shopped. Plenty to do.

We would stay there again just for the location and the staff. Many of the review points are valid, but nothing we haven't seen in any hotel. We're happy to hear it won't be going away soon. as they say, "Location, Location, Location"
Date of stay: October 2023
Room Tip: The pool was closed so if that's a show stopper, you'd best call ahead.

It was dirty, old, run down, stank of cannabis everywhere. I didn’t feel safe in there. The bed sheets were filthy and the bed felt damp. The carpets in the hotel were threadbare. Do not stay here. The breakfast tasted like cardboard @ $29 each

Room tip: Avoid at all cost

Vicky, we regret to hear of your experience and sincerely apologize for any discomfort caused. While we maintain our facilities with dedication and routine checks, it seems we fell notably short during your stay. We take cleanliness very seriously and can assure you this doesn't reflect our usual standard. We understand your concerns about room fragrance and are addressing this matter immediately. For breakfast quality, we're taking your feedback on board for continuous improvement. It would be great to get another opportunity to restore your confidence in our hotel offerings.

Went there for New Year’s Eve at bayside.
Location is for sure perfect as it is located opposite the bayside.
Hotel is very basic and too much expensive.
Value and price is in miss balance.
Breakfast is too expensive and bad.
Only worth for the money if you need the location.

The place is a DUMP! Needs to be torn down!
Rooms were discusting need to be updated. Elevators were very slow. Woke up to false fire alarm, front desk didn't know why it was going off. The only good thing is, itt's across the street from Bayside & close to the port of Miami. That's about it.

Room tip: Great Empanada place around the corner.

timaK4221YV, it's concerning to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay. We aim to ensure our facilities are well-kept and comfortable, and it appears we fell short in this instance. We understand your remarks regarding the elevators and are looking into the alarm incident you mentioned. On the other hand, we're glad to hear you appreciated our prime location near Bayside and the port. Your feedback is a valuable tool for making improvements. Thank you.

We just needed a night in Miami before our cruise. Exactly what this is. Beds are uncomfortable, rust was showing through paint in the bathroom. The location is the best thing about this place. You will still need to UBER or shuttle to the port.

Stayed 2 nights in November, as long as you have low expectations, this property will meet them. Arrived at midnight, it took the front desk person an hour and after two encounters to tell me she can’t access a crib for the baby, “only available from engineering after 7:00 am”. She seemed to be the only one on duty.

Like other posters, the rooms are tired, thin walls to hear your neighbour, and can only be updated with a full gut and reno. The only benefit is location, close to cruise port in Miami.

Had breakfast included in room rate, choice of 2 eggs/meat/toast/coffee or pancakes or the buffet which was sparse in other than packaged goods. Had the cooked to order eggs, service fast and friendly.

Would not stay again as there is no value in staying here.

My thoughts are this property will undergo a full renovation at some point, re-open under the Marriott chain banner and perhaps the owners will make that announcement. This will remove the need of hotel staff responding to comments made by travellers that their concerns may be considered for future changes in policy or service standards. It is perhaps a waste of verbage to even respond knowing that nothing will happen.

When I got my Marriott CC statement for staying here, there was additional credit for staying at Marriott properties, this property was included, but you book it under IHG. No signage on hotel would explain a transition from one brand to another. Maybe the owners will announce a complete renovation of this property.

Room tip: Have a room facing street. Stay away from rooms facing construction to the west next door.
