Image of the Tripadvisor rating Unethical Practices and Unreturned Deposit

Jul 10, 2024 Diogo F

This hotel is a scam; they didn't return my deposit and ignored my contacts. They have unethical practices, like the front desk staff asking for positive TripAdvisor reviews in exchange for perks like late check-out. Avoid this place at all costs if you value your money and honesty. The lack of professionalism and integrity here is appalling.

Miami's Art Deco area consists of charming and historic buildings stuffed with non-historic clubs, restaurants, and hotels any which way they can be fitted. This makes the area fun,odd, and oddly non-touristy. Lily, Kar and Harold hosted us the night before our cruise. Our room reflected the period architecture with wall coverings and photos. South Beach is about the beach, the Cuban vibe/food/music, and some of the best people watching you'll see. For us it was the beach in the afternoon, evening, and morning of the next day. Lily saw to us having enough water, beach chairs, and towels that made it easy to enjoy. The area is at the mercy of the Historical Society so not everything is restored to modern plastic surfaces and for us that added to the charm. Enjoy this area while you can, it could be gone to Developer Heaven tomorrow. June 2024. Read less
