Cute boutique hotel
The hotel was cute and very conveniently located. Service was a little slow and I never received the additional blanket I requested at the front desk and by their txt service. All and all I would stay there again.

The staff is great. The restaurant in the hotel was awesome. Our room was right next to check in, the elevator and the restaurant it was extremely loud. Our tv didn’t work, the front desk worker tried to fix it but couldn’t, finally we were able to fix it. The location to the beach was great.

Dissapointing
We appreciated the one positive interaction we had with the staff and were grateful that they stored our luggage when we arrived hours before check-in. However, every other interaction left much to be desired. The staff generally seemed indifferent at best and outright hostile at worst. On three separate occasions, we encountered cleaning or maintenance staff in the hallways, and each time, they rushed toward us aggressively, as if expecting us to move out of their way. It was shocking that this happened not just once, but three times. This hotel would greatly benefit from improved customer service training.

Great spot to stay in South Beach. You can keep the AC on or open the windows to feel the wind from the sea :) . The Miami Beach Parking Garage is the best place to park your car (20$ / day). Good meal at the Whitelaw Hotel.
