An amazing place! The breakfasts are delicious, and the panoramic views are absolutely stunning. The pool isn’t heated, but it’s just perfect for the summer weather. Everything is beautiful and well-kept. I highly recommend it, especially for couples.

Housekeeping walked in with no knock. Breakfast was no where close to being ready at 6:30. Ran out of time to eat before I had to go. Plastic wrap still on everything, person making eggs had the door shut and wasn’t around until about 10-15 minutes after breakfast opened. Disappointing.

The location is perfect, close to everything in Brickell, and you don’t need a car. The breakfast was good and had gluten-free options. The room was very comfortable and had a kitchenette. The staff was very friendly. Having breakfast in the patio is a nice plus.

Nice clean hotel in Brickell. Good restaurants and shopping nearby. The breakfast and bars are very nice. The only downside is that you have to valet your car and only one elevator was working. So it took about 10-15 minutes to get to the lobby after the valet took your car.

I had such a great experience thanks to Milagros! She was incredibly nice and sweet the entire time — always greeting us with a smile and making sure we had everything we needed. Her kindness really made our stay feel extra special. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests. Thank you, Milagros, for going above and beyond!

So this location shares with ac Marriot. The entrance brings you an empty hallway to an elevator where you take it to the 6th floor. On the right is check in for element and on the left is check in for ac hotels. The check in process was seamless. If you're a Marriot bonvoy plat you get a daily $15 credit you can use only at the bar/lounge located on the same 6th floor. They do charge a $30 resort fee every day ....I feel for that price, in winter, the pool should be heated. The pool, even on a 80 degree day, is still chilly. Most people weren't in the pool, they just lounged on the chairs. They also run out of pool towels rather quickly but you can always just ask housekeeping. The hotel is always really clean. The staff does well with keeping the building spotless. The gym is perfect enough. Stocked with sweat towels, water, fruit and lots of clean gym equipment including a peloton bike. The gym is located on the 22 floor The room is sort of small but it was clean and I really liked that they stocked it with a full fridge/freezer, cabinets with plates and cutlery and also stuff to wash dishes. Very nice. Publix is literally down the block and target is a 6 min drive. Wendy's and McDonald's are Also walking distance not even a few blocks away. There's also Brickell park that's 15 mins Away where your toddler can enjoy The bartenders are really great. They make good drinks - expect every cocktail to cost $20+ fyi but this is Miami They also have free breakfast every morning, with each day having a diff hot breakfast option. They have a waffle machine, fresh fruit, yogurt station, assortment of baked goods, bread, juice, coffee. I mean it was really good Overall, had a great experience and would highly recommend.

Our stay here was amazing. Very nice hotel and amazing service was provided by Kevin. He was very sweet and kind and dealt with any of the concerns we had. Although a black lady who we had encountered at first working at the front desk gave me and my friends trouble as she tried to charge our credit card twice and had to call the bank to see if the first transaction went through which it did. She also was passive aggressive at times but everyone else was very friendly and kind!

This hotel and staff were amazing! Rooms are upscale, have filtered water from the sink, breakfast was good (live cook), and the valet staff are quick/friendly. From the moment we walked in until we left I'll admit we were not the easiest customers because of all of our questions (we had some third party booking issues), but the staff handled everything with a smile on their face and genuinely wanted to help us. Rickey (amazing taco restaurant recommendation), Sierra, Melissa, and a trainee—I assume—who didn't have a name tag were the best staff you could possibly ask for. I don't know when I'll be back in Miami, but I would love to stay here again!
