4. I stayed there for my birthday two yrs ago and again this March and the things I love about it haven't changed: (1) beautiful rooms, appointed with quality furnishings and fixtures; (2) a ridiculously, impossibly hip common area, steeped in art, light, atmosphere and indulgence; (3) the best deal for your money in Miami (and I looked, and I'm cheap); (4) amenities you can actually use, like bikes, beach, bar; most impt (5) the staff.
