Spent three nights here in late October 2022. I was fortunate enough to get upgraded using Marriott Suite Night upgrades to the Vice Presidential Suite. Fancy name, but really nothing more than a normal suite with a very small bathroom. Part of the reason that I give the hotel a lower rating is at the time of the upgrade, the room description did not have any mention of a sofa bed, and i was traveling with my son. I reached out to the hotel directly and was told by the assistant room manager that the room did not have a sofa bed, but at the time of check in l, they would see if there were any junior suites with two beds available. The hotel is going through a renovation, so none of those were available, so they provided a roll away. My son is 6'3", so not the best option, but ok. On the second day, we decided to move some couch pillows and lo and behold it was a sofa bed!
During the duration of our visit, the TV didn't work in our newly renovated room. Two maintenance visits, several messages, a couple of front desk visits and a few days, it still wasn't working. A functional TV, especially when staying over a Sunday, is required. I didn't want to go out and watch F1 and football, but I did.
As noted, the hotel is undergoing a renovation, and they will send you an email a few days before you arrive to let you know the concierge lounge and pool are closed z and the bar is in a makeshift corner. That information was buried at the time of booking, which was disappointing.
Final negative... parking is expensive. Website says it's $34, but after taxes and fees, it's over $40 per night.
Positives...the hotel staff was always friendly. The location is awesome, central to South Beach, Calle Ocho, the Arts District and the airport.
In the end, I would stay here again due to the location...after the renovation is done. This was a points stay, and I am a Titanium member, so to the hotel's credit , they did credit me $100 for all the negative stuff.
