1. I realize that this is a pretty highly rated hotel in South Beach, I am thinking maybe just because it's a Marriot? And even though I have a couple bad experiences to write about here, in the end our stay really was ok.

2. every hotel employee was friendly and coffee is free in the room with cream and sugars, refridgerator is included under the safe and only bad thing was no microwave.

4. Isn't that why I paid to stay at an 'upscale' hotel? I didn't really investigate too much but the Internet options at the hotel seemed pretty bad; better to hit the wifi at the Starbucks downstairs.

5. Several mention that this is the '3rd' disappointing visit to the hotel & if this is the case & it's so bad why not book somewhere else?The hotel is extremely low key & I have to admit that the service in the bar was somewhat slow at times but you need to take into account that most people are too busy 'people watching' to worry whether on not their Mojito is slightly slow in being served.

7. Too bad it is next to a dilapidated hotel, because that run down hotel next door occupies the majority of the view for the rooms on the south side of the hotel.
