Why People Love It
- Steps from the Metromover for easy, free transport
- Rooftop pool deck with killer city skyline views at night
- Mosaico Kitchen + Bar actually serves excellent food (not just 'hotel food')
Quick Take: A sharp, modern business hotel that suffers from the relentless construction noise of its booming neighborhood.
Reviewed by @Arjayricafort949: I stayed in Room 1406 with my family and the night view of the Brickell skyline was absolutely insane. The room was super comfy with two queen beds, and the bathroom aesthetic was totally on point. Loved the lobby vibe too—definitely a cool spot to base yourself in Miami.
