Avoid the three units located just off the reception area, as these have soundproofing issues.

Ask for a room that's on the quieter Belvedere Road, as opposed to those facing South Olive Avenue.

Gayot "A hip boutique hotel with a sixties retro look... Best suited to people for whom price is more important than amenities."

Keep in mind that the neighborhood can be a bit iffy.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"It's well located...and perched on the edge of the El Cid district. Suffice to say it's clean and fine if you just want a bed. Includes a simple Continental breakfast." Full review

"Offers undeniable curb appeal. It's a lovely property that’s a clear departure from Palm Beach’s chain hotels and ultra-luxurious accommodations. The 44 rooms vary widely in size and amenities" Full review
