NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

I HAD THE"EXECUTIVE SUITE". WHAT A JOKE! THERE WASN'T ANYTHING EXECUTIVE ABOUT THIS SUITE. GOT A GREAT DEAL ON HOTELS.COM, THAT WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE. THE ROOM WAS NOT AS CLEAN AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS HOTEL NEEDS A MAKEOVER, IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT IT'S A VERY OLD HOTEL AND THE ROOMS NEED REMODELING, ESPECIALLY THE BATHROOMS!

Worst I have ever stayed at

I did not expect a "palace" but this was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed. It is so old and has not been taken care of. Dirty, roof leaks, terrible bed linens, an air conditioner that was so loud we had to turn it off (let me remind you it was south Florida and 90 degrees)! If we had not booked this through Hotels.com we would have demanded our money back and walked out instead of staying the night.

OK

The pictures certainly fool. There was a roach waiting to greet us. The lady at the front desk was mean. When since is it wrong to ask questions? Other than that place was just ok. We just wanted a place to rest our heads after we partied.

Beautiful/tropical hotel

Pretty hotel for the price, close to HWY and trains. Didn't ever get an ashtray for our room. Breakfast was wonderful! Wish we had known the resturant was closed for the season before we booked!! Can use the computor for $1 for 6 minutes....think it should be free!

Worth Every Penny!

I booked this hotel for a two night stay, not expecting much after reading some of the bad reviews. I'm so glad I decided to try this hotel especially with the low rate. The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to find me an extension cord to use. The breakfast choices are somewhat limited but still a basic breakfast. Check in/out was quick and efficient. Room was very clean and the beds were very comfy. As for the train noise mentioned in other reviews. A commuter train does run nearby but it does NOT run at night. It starts early in the morning for those commuting into Miami. This could be a benefit to travelers not wanting to fight through Miami rush hour! I will definitely stay in this hotel again and have recommended it to other business associates already!

Great room for the price

The staff was helpful and pleasent. The surrounding were nice and clean. The only issue was the train track behind the hotel and a high speed train is passing behind the hotel almost every 2 to 3 hours, tooting its horn. This starts sometime around 6AM and continues throughout the day. After a few days we started joking about it. Maybe that is why you get such a good price.
