"Rooms were cleaned each day with new towels and beds made. The staff was extremely polite and were able to get us into our room right when it was ready, which ended up being 6 hours early. The pool was an amazing amenity. Breakfast was not included, and the bar was only serving remade drinks at the time of our stay. There was no ice machine on the property. Overall the location was amazing, very close to everything you could want. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone"

"Close to the beach but not with ocean view"

"Amazing views and pool area. "

"Organized well"

"Excellent location"

"My daughter and I stayed here on a quick trip to Miami for 4 nights. We loved everything about it. The friendly staff, the cute, retro beachy vibe, and the location! The beach is right across from the hotel and the hotel provides you with towels for the day at the beach. The rooftop pool is also awesome. There are so many great restaurants and cute cafes within a few blocks, we had a hard time choosing. We hopped on the free trolley just a block away from the hotel and turned around. We would 100% stay at The Penguin again! "

"At this time of year it’s forgotten that it’s meant to be a hotel and has overwhelmingly prioritised being a bad night club. Dreadful pounding techno such that the windows in our room vibrated till 11pm. To add insult to injury we’d paid extra for an ocean view room. Staff were indifferent. No late check out as a blanket policy. I think we were an inconvenience "

"Really good "

"Place was great considering all the rain. No doormats in the room to dry off wet shoes from outside. Outside noise came through the room very easily. My bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way or stay closed. "
