1. My friends and I went and we are all between ages 22 - 26, so its not a bad hotel for a younger crowd who is just really needing it for sleeping purposes since we were always out and about.

2. I ended up getting scalded pretty bad the first time, then realized the noise the water made changed before it would get hot and was able to move.

3. The bed left a little to be desired, but I have a bad back so I'm kind of picky.

4. Since it's older, you can hear through the walls a bit, but not too bad.

5. Do's and Don'ts: 1) DO prepare yourself for great service but bad elevators (the elevator is tiny, but service is fast so not a big concern)2) DO come to this hotel knowing that you're never too far from anything.

8. The only thing that keeps me from giving this hotel five stars is that the room itself was sort of standard Miami Beach 'boutique' -- a bit humid, a bit shabbier than one might expect if he or she has never been to Miami Beach, but comfortable and not at all a bad place to rest your head at the end of the day.

10. While looking for a different hotel to stay in on my trip this year to South Beach I was reminded of a bad experience I had at Essex House last year as a Birthday and Graduation present.
