Who stays here: Repeat visitors to Miami looking to explore somewhere new, those who are fans of the Mr. C brand from LA or NYC, and those with business in or near Coconut Grove. The crowd is a mix of older couples and some families.
We like: The nautical theme is a fun touch that is expertly executed so it feels charming and never kitschy.
We love (don't miss this feature!): While I didn't get to use it, the rooftop pool was beautiful, and the Bellini Restaurant is excellent. It's easy to see why it's a local favorite.
We think you should know: Coconut Grove, while a superb place to be, is a bit far from downtown Miami and the beach. The closest beach is 15 minutes away, and while the hotel offers facilities, it does not provide a shuttle.
We'd do this differently next time: I'd choose a different room to try and mitigate the noise for a more peaceful stay.
