The East Hotel is a beautiful property, located in one of the busiest places in Miami. The pool is gorgeous and the rooms are nice. On the other hand, if on a family trip, stay away! It’s a party place! They sell day passes for the pool, which gets packed! The rooms are integrated with the bathroom, so everyone can see you showering. The pillows were the worst I’ve ever had in a hotel — it feels like your head is directly on the mattress. If you pile pillows, they suffocate you (super soft). Also, be ready for the noisy cars and bikes on Brickel! Even with sound-proof windows, it is noisy!! Finally, there is high-rise building right in front, so no privacy at all!
