The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Guests frequently praise the comfortable king beds, friendly front desk service, and scenic views of Biscayne Bay and the port. However, extra fees and high food prices draw consistent criticism, notably costly breakfast and daily parking fees, alongside complaints about dated floor tiles and echoes around the pool area. 17519
