Very good
Liked: Location is perfect. Breakfast is awesome and rich. Isabel’s is doing a great job!
Disliked: There were a few issues that took away from the overall experience. The pool area, while inviting at first glance, was consistently dirty. We often found leaves and bugs in the water, and during our stay, we never once saw it being cleaned or attended to. Additionally, towels were frequently left out wet on chairs from early in the morning and not replaced, which made it feel a bit neglected.One of the biggest frustrations was the lack of enforcement of pool rules. Although posted signs stated the pool closed at 10:00 PM, a loud and unruly wedding party stayed in the pool well past midnight — drinking, playing music, and singing like they were at a backyard party. This made it very difficult to get any sleep, especially since we had an early tour scheduled for the next morning. It was disappointing that staff didn’t step in to maintain the quiet hours or enforce the stated rules.Housekeeping also left something to be desired. Aside from changing towels and sheets, little else was done. The garbage bins near the on-site store remained full unless we emptied them ourselves, and the overall cleanliness didn’t meet expectations. One morning, we were startled awake around 9:00 AM when housekeeping knocked loudly and entered the room unannounced — a jarring way to start the day and something that really shouldn’t happen without prior notice or consent.Overall, the location and charm of the property are definite positives, but better attention to cleanliness, guest privacy, and rule enforcement would make a big difference in guest satisfaction.

Pleasant stay in beautiful buildings...
Liked: Clean, friendly staff, good breakfast (accompanied by wholesome roosters and chickens strutting around!), beautiful environment with historic buildings, great view of the lighthouse, and great location for Ernest Hemingway's House and Duval Street!
Disliked: Difficult to get a sun-lounger at any time, but that's not really the hotel's fault as they were just popular.

Rooms and grounds were beautiful.
Liked: The hotel is very comfortable. Rooms were nice and grounds were very tropical.
Disliked: Parking was expensive. You have to park in a lot several blocks away for $30 a day.

Great choice in the heart...
Liked: The location is unbeatable – just steps from Duval Street, directly across from the Hemingway House and Lighthouse. It’s also within walking distance to South Beach, the Southernmost Point, and great sunset spots. I really enjoyed the breakfast and the overall cozy boutique vibe of the hotel. There are three parking options, two of which are free, though you’ll need a bit of luck to find an open spot.
Disliked: A/C was noisy. In-house bike rent would be a nice upgrade.
