This is an affordable older hotel in good condition in a great area with a wonderful beach, pool, and it is convenient to Bal Harbour shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, the hotel immediately south of this property is under going major reconstruction and it is very noisy. I paid extra for a room with a balcony and view. Half the view was of the city, the other half of the unfinished hotel and the construction. I asked to be moved and they said they were nearly full, although there were very few other guests. I was offered the room next door with a view of the nearly empty parking lot. The pool area is nice but forget napping, the racket from next door from 8 am on made it impossible to relax. I would definitely return after the project next door is complete.
