I was upgraded for no extra charge to the third floor suite overlooking the Ocean Drive scene. Oh, the view! The room’s art deco ambiance! The comfortable king-size bed! The spacious shower room where a couple can each have their own shower heads! I opted to fill the large jet tub and relax.
The suite is ideally for people who want to stay up till midnight, when the outside music ceases. Otherwise, grab your noise canceling ear buds and play white background noise through them till the quiet hours.
I just checked in for a second night a week later. This time, I got the standard king bed room I paid for, on the first floor. The bed, again, is great, and it has a pretty nice deep tub with a rainforest shower head. This room of course is smaller and plainer than the suite, but it is quiet! Yet one is close to all the night life.
Both rooms/nights: There is a bottle of wine waiting in my room, compliments of the hotel. I can make espresso in the morning in-room and get a good meal at the restaurant on premises that offers a 20% discount to hotel guests. The outdoor dining is well-staffed and really lovely. The hotel staff are courteous and helpful.
