"Excellent place to stay on Miami Beach."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
My family and I loved the hotel. We stayed with our dog in a first floor room in the back building and it was so easy to get in and out for walks. The kids loved the ice cream shop in the alley. The beach was right across the street and was beautiful. 10 stars!
