Lmao ! It was so cute yet so strange… yet the bed is super comfy and great for a single person longer stay but after a couple days the narrow middle part of the room was a bit annoying and although it was very cool and everyone is so nice, unfortunately the area was not suitable for more than 2 people and that was pushing it. The iPad was super cool but honestly by the time I went through all the settings on the iPad I could’ve gotten up and just done it manually quicker. The alarm clock was super cool, though it gently woke you up and increased the intensity to get your butt up if you weren’t responding to the lower volume. It gave you a bit of a homey feeling, but yet creepy at the same time , I didn’t like the little raggedy Andy doll missing its legs made me feel a little bit creepy as I am not sure it gave a appropriate vibe for a couple. The people were awesome and our stay was awesome. The rooms were very comfy. I give it a 8/10. Minus 2 points for the creepy doll
Not sure, but they were very friendly and accommodating at the front desk that I’d imagine so. If not, you can hang out in the lounge until your room is ready.
There's something that I learned about in a real estate investment class that I took several years ago - having to do with on-site security. It's not so much about protecting the customer (although it can serve that purpose too) - but more from the angle of protecting the business owners from potential unsavory future customers masquerading as elegant or mild mannered people who are really there renting to run their own shady businesses within the hotel. This thing, I believe is not unique to this hotel chain. I think almost all of the different big brands are doing it to one extent or another. I was wondering if you picked up on it in the Brickell spot or decided to tune it out and ignore it.... I was in the one in the Bayside spot of Miami recently - when I was tucked in my bed at night in a certain position, and I decided to shift to a new position (to feel more comfortable) I would hear a clicking sound in the ceiling when I started to move and then another clicking sound up there a few seconds after I stopped moving. Whenever I got out of my bed and went to use the toilet section - there would be another clicking sound over that section as I entered and after I left it. If I decided to instead move from the toilet section into the shower section, there would yet be another clicking sound in the ceiling above the shower section as I entered and another click when I left it. In short, people's movements are being tracked and logged in their rooms (and through out the whole hotel) with a combination of motion and thermal sensors - and with that little passkey card. There's probably a camera here and there in the halls and common areas too. Again, this has to do with thinking far ahead to potential courtroom scenarios - if crime is alleged, anyone of these hotel chains will have tons of data backing up their case and protecting their investors cash-flow numbers. But again, did you pick up on all the clicking sounds?
Oh my gosh!! This is one of the best reviews. So funny!! I’m going to book this hotel.
Great, thanks! Enjoy your stay, the pool should be open by now!

Is there a luggage storage?

Is this Scott Disick??
Not that I know of
