The location is good, close to the train station and to the convenient store across the street. This hotel has no shuttle service to the port.. Although my stay here was only for the night to tour miami, it was easy to get to from south beach...the area looked safe, people is seen walking during the night and day. I had a great view from my room window...The staff was nice. The breakfast was only grab to go items like individually wrapped muffins...it would be nice to incorporate fruits.
