The Room 305

“Not worth the money host was not able to reach room was not clean would not recommend”

“The check in process was only difficult because the front desk reps were not very knowledgeable & knew hardly none to no English. The places was clean but the water did go out for hours & the host said it was an outage in the neighborhood which was a big inconvenience considering we had dinner plans. No face towels, only bath towels in bathrooms. Overall, I had a pleasant stay, just those minor problems.”

“Paid 439 to stay here but when I went to check in it was another fee another hold and plus a mandatory valet fee. They really don’t valet the car only once. The room is very nice and clean. Great view on the balcony which is the best part. Slow elevators. The room had no wash cloths and when we informed front desk they said they were out. About 45 mins from Miami Beach.”

“The room itself was perfect! Everything was exactly like the description and pictures. Super clean, quiet, and had a great view.... ... the building itself was an absolute nightmare. Check-in line was so long that we gave up and came back later (and it still took 30 minutes). There's only two elevators... when they're both working. It took us over an hour and a half to get into our room at check-in and the same amount of time to check out. Even with both elevators working, it took about 20 minutes for one to stop at your floor and we had to let multiple elevators go on because they were too full. ... the crowd there definitely was not family friendly, but the security team looked like a mob hit squad and we didn't see any actual issues, but as an owner of a security firm I know that you don't hire a team that well put together unless you're consistently dealing with some serious issues.”

“From start to finish, my experience was disappointing. Due to an unexpected death in my family, I needed to cancel my stay, but was unable to receive a refund or adjust my dates. While I understand policies regarding travel insurance, the lack of flexibility and empathy was disheartening. I ultimately checked in a day late due to the funeral and was still charged for that night, along with the resort fee. At check-in, the front desk interaction was not welcoming. The room had a shower issue that was resolved promptly; however, overall cleanliness was below standard, with hair found in the sheets and shower, and a visibly unclean shower curtain. Elevator wait times were excessive, with waits exceeding 30 minutes, and valet service was similarly delayed. The beach shuttle was convenient, though construction at the destination impacted the experience. The balcony and view were the only highlights of the stay.”

“This was supposed to be a very smooth and relaxing vacation for my friend and I as it was our first vacation on our own. We got there and were told we were not allowed to check in due to not being 21 although our host did not specify this and it was not shown on our side of the listing. We were told we were unable to stay and we needed to find someone to check us in that was 21 and not only that is we were not to stay we would not be refunded nor relocated. We were left with no other option but to find someone we knew that lived in Florida mind u we live all the way in Indiana. Thank goodness we had a friend that was able to check us in and and then once we got to the counter to check in, we were told to pay all these extra fees. We were told that we had to pay $180 for this small amount of amenities that were provided by the hotel as well as a $250 deposit fee that you’re not gonna get until 10 days after you leave your stay.”

“The overall property is excellent, but we were disappointed with the room amenities and host responsiveness. Our reservation was for three people and they provided us with only two wash cloths and two hand towels. It took many back and forth messages with the host and seven hours later we received three hand towels but no wash cloths. At that point I gave up. I felt like I was spending my whole day managing the washcloth problem vs. being on vacation. The condo also lacked many basic amenities that would be expected at this price point. The showers did not have any soap holders or shelves to place shampoo. The sinks did not have any soap dishes. There were no towel hooks, only one small towel rod per bathroom. There were no tissues. The coffee packs provided were not compatible with the coffee makers. Also, after my stay, the host (The Room 305) sent me instructions to review them with rating system that differs from the official Airbnb Rating system, (ex: 3 stars = "bad" vs "OK")”

“It’s really a hotel , the bathroom sink water wasn’t going down , the place is super busy extremely long wait times for the elevator and you pay a additional 62$ to have access to anything with the hotel and it’s mandatory and a additional 30$ parking a day and they take a hold fee 250$ , it was a terrible experience I wouldn’t say horrible but it was bad over all nice view and location and it’s affordable”

“This was one of the worst and most overpriced hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we kept getting charged extra fees — parking garage fees, hotel stay fees, and a $250 hold deposit even though we stayed only one night. It felt like we were being charged for everything. When we entered the room, one of the beds collapsed as soon as we sat on it. The room had a terrible smell, the linens were not fresh, and the bed was very uncomfortable. We barely slept. The hotel is right next to a busy highway, so there was constant traffic noise, and we could also hear people in the next room. The “porch view” faces the highway, not a nice view as described. There was no water in the room, and the vending machine they sent us to didn’t work. Management responded late and was not helpful. Very bad stay — not recommended.”

“This condo is definitely spacious. The host was responsive whenever a question was asked But on the other hand, there were no instructions on how to use the beach. No restaurant /grocery stores/shuttle to FLL notes, etc. Took us an hour to check in, room did not have working remote to the TV. A woman brought some remote controls so we had to wait around for her. I specifically asked for Beach chair instructions and she said she didn’t know. remote controls that she brought still didn’t work so Had to allow someone in the room while we were away at dinner. The wrist bands continually stopped working to use the elevator and open the room and had to stand in the front desk line each time. front desk said beach chairs came out at 7, but they come out at 9. But then I was told I was at the wrong place so had to wait in line all over. Horrible lighting, esp in bath. No full length mirror . Black mold on master bath shower. Overcrowded beach to point of annoyance. Left a day early”
