6. There's a wonderful restaurant right at the Lobby area, that may be a little crowded at times but it offers the convenience of not having to walk too far to eat great food.

7. The lobby of the hotel has an appeal of a kitchen in a jersey diner.

"Ongoing scam with reservation " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/26/2009 Vote

8. The lobby is kind of bleak - almost scary - but the decor for the room and hallway was cool, though probably not to everyone's taste (lots of mirrors, giant prints on the whole wall, etc.).

"Cool decor, good location, good price " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/7/2008 Vote

9. When you arrive at the hotel, it can be confusing because it looks like you are at a restaurant; there is a lively cafe (the Front Porch) that takes over the front from about 8am-7pm, and there isn't much of a lobby, but trust me, this is one of the best cafes in South Beach!(try the mojitos.

"Stayed twice....Adorable, Friendly, Amazing Location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/14/2008 Vote

10. If you're looking for a nice hotel lobby to lounge in either stay somewhere else or walk a few blocks north to the Delano and people watch over there.

"Not so bad " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/1/2008 Vote
