Awful awful awful.
Check your room when you get there!!!
The hotel was beautiful and in a great location. But. The bad reviews are VERY true Valet was a joke, felt rushed, had cars honking at us, we had to unload in the middle of a busy intersection. Upon check in, they proceed to tell me there's addition "service charges" that need to be paid. (Which I had thought were paid upon booking but whatever) We get to the room, great view, cozy, comfy bed, robes, towels, balcony over looking the pool and beach. Everything seems great. Unpack, shower, put on robes.......... Put hands in pocket and boom trash and tissues in the pockets. Check the towels, boom dirty towels. Called front desk, got new towels, robes and fresh sheets because who knows if they were clean. Then notice creamy liquidy something dripping down the wall. Check the complimentary toiletries, boom used and opened.. THEN I go to use the iron, fill it up with water, spritz my $200 dress I bought in key west and the water bleached my dress!!! That's when I lost it. The front desk offered to dry clean my dress (after making me wait a day for the manager to speak to me) I was unable to get dry cleaning bc I had a flight to catch. Then they proceeded to tell me they'd wave a $20 service charge for the inconvenience. Which was a complete slap in the face. Management there is a joke.I should absolutely get a refund. I paid almost $500 for ONE NIGHT (and ONLY night!) to have a horrible time!!
Finally got in touch with the gm, ALI DURAL, and have never been spoken to like that by any man let alone the general manager of a hotel. Told me to "take up the water issue with the city of Miami" as he chuckled about it. Told me I'm making all of these complaints up because it is "impossible" that his housekeepers could have possibly skipped cleaning a room. Said "woman like you are alway trying to get free stuff"
I have never in my life felt more disgusting and disrespected like how this hotel and their management has made me feel. They refuse to give me a refund and was told "good luck trying to get anything from me" and then was hung up on.
The lack of professionalism is unexceptable and that general manager, Ali DURAL, (who is clearly a sexist) should be fired.
