Good place to stay before a cruise. You can still hear a little noise in your room at night but is not bad. Being right across from the beach was great and having so many options of food was also great but be aware most of the restaurants charge a 20% service fee on top of your meal. Other than that would definitely recommend for a short stay in Miami.

We had a corner room on the second floor, convenient access to the rooftop pool. Late night thumping music made it difficult to get good sleep.
