5. The room did have one downside: It was structurally next to the Elevators which , when the AC unit was shut and not drowning out the noise, made a constant humming and motor sound whenever guests were using it.

8. On the downside: The food at the hotel is average and extremely overpriced, but if you're willing to take a short walk down to Ocean, there are tons of better options during the day, and obviously hundreds of other great restaurants in South Beach to chose from for dinner.
