The hotel had both positives and negatives. The location was excellent with beautiful night views on the riverwalk, near great restaurants and bars. However, the experience was marred by disappointing room conditions and an average dining experience. The value for money was questionable considering the issues encountered.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were better in terms of noise but had an unpleasant smell that was hard to ignore, especially with kids around. We had a bit of a rush at 9:30 am on the day of checkout, but we actually found a much better hotel afterward with free parking, larger rooms, and central air conditioning.

The hotel is nicely situated on the riverwalk, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms were clean and provided a good stay for families with kids. However, the hotel is located on the busier end of the riverwalk. The service was attentive, although there were some disruptions due to ongoing floor renovations around the pool area.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, with the hotel right on the Riverwalk and within walking distance of popular attractions. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool area. However, there was a persistent musty smell that detracted from the overall experience. The service varied from helpful and accommodating to passive-aggressive and condescending. Despite these issues, the hotel's dining options were convenient and fairly priced, offering a variety of tasty dishes. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyment of my stay.

The hotel rooms were tired looking with well-worn furniture, holes in the curtains, missing flap on the a/c, and dirty grouting around the bath needing some TLC. The rooms were small, not quite clean looking, and had a bad leak in the bathtub. Although outdated and trashed, the hotel was suitable for a large Christmas party of 100 plus individuals.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, bright, and had a desk, but the lack of a refrigerator was a downside. The balcony overlooking the pool area was a nice touch, though I encountered some issues with standing water. Self-parking or valet came at an additional cost, which was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel has a great location directly on the river, within walking distance of many places and offering amazing views of the skyline from the verandas. The rooms had a stale smell and were starting maintenance work early in the morning, but the hotel was old. The service was friendly but could be slow at times. The dining offered a variety of foods but needed an upgrade in quality.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was dirty, with a shower full of someone else's hair, and the musty smell didn't help. However, the double beds were clean though dated. The service was a hit or miss; some staff were really friendly, while others seemed indifferent. The location was great right on the river walk despite some hidden fees.

The hotel is located right on the Riverwalk, offering beautiful night views but not near many restaurants or attractions. The rooms were a little small and recently experienced a flood, which was unexpected. Despite some drawbacks like the secluded and scary surroundings, the service was friendly, especially from the valet, though overpriced. The dining options were simple for the price, and adding at least breakfast could enhance the experience. However, the location on the Riverwalk offers convenient access to all the fun by scooter in Miami.
