Nice Vintage Hotel

The location of the hotel is phenomenal. It’s right on the beach and near attractions and restaurants. It’s a beautiful area at night too. However, the road that the hotel is on is closed to vehicles. We had to be dropped off at their other property and walk with our luggage. The hotel is very vintage and we enjoyed the decor. That being said, we could hear everything going on outside while trying to sleep. I would also caution anyone who is in a wheelchair or uses mobility devices that there are stairs leading into the hotel lobby. The elevator is also very small. The price, location, and customer service outweighs those issues and we would definitely stay here again. It was clean and the young man working the check in desk was very friendly and professional.

Our stay included a free breakfast each morning at the restaurant beside the Penguin Hotel. The service was horrible. waiting 20 minutes before someone greeted us. Waited another 20 minutes for menus. Waited another 20 minutes before taking our order. waited another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Spoke to the manager he told us hes new here and was hired to clean this mess up. Tired the restaurant again the following morning. after 45 minutes of waiting at the table we left. Worst restaurant I have ever been to. Even the paying customers were complaining about the service

The hotel promises a daily breakfast at the next door restaurant, but fails to make it clear that the breakfast is horrible. It was clearly cooked well in advance and served cold. The bacon was floppy. The eggs were both runny and cold. The fruit salad was flavorless. Worst of all, the service was terrible, being a combination of both rude and slow.

Staff was very helpful and polite. During booking it said buffet breakfast , but was not true. You have to go to restaurant next door with coupon and had preset breakfast. I got cold eggs all 3 days. First day fruit bowl was fresh but next 2 days fruits were not fresh. Had to ask butter and all with toast. First day no juice was available and we don’t drink coffee or tea. Also why would you not clean the room every day? Price was too high for the type and size of the room. Pics on website looks different than the room

Stay was overall uneventful, our AC did not work but they fixed it fast. Great location if you plan on exploring Miami Beach, breakfast was included but okay. Enjoyed the welcome drink however it wasn't available until hours after check in which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. With the price of the hotel I think the resort fee is excessive.

Pros - Location - Right on Ocean Drive Cons - 1. Very Very Small room. Do not consider this hotel if you are travelling with Kids. 2. They do not offer cleaning everyday unless you request them in the morning. I feel cleaning is something that should be done by default. 3. If you choose a room with breakfast, they will offer you beakfast at a restaurant just adjacent to the hotel. They just have one menu item i.e. Scrambled egg, tea/coffee/juice. The menu is constant and they dont even change on request. 4. They charge you 33 USD as resort fee per night and the only thing they offer which you probably would use is beach towel. Pool is in other property named President Hotel. 5. Very noisy air conditioner

Amazing location especially for the price. Valet and the rooftop pool is shared at the president hotel and the breakfast in not the buffet seen in photos but instead you get a voucher to eggs, bacon, and toast at the restaurant "the front porch" next door so that's a little misleading and hope this review helps someone :)
