Editorial Review for Aqua Hotel – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
Sleek and contemporary, this two-story 1950s building was completely renovated and reimagined as a boutique hotel in 2000. Its new sensibility is reflected in the lobby, which now features art-deco memorabilia. It can also be seen in the guest rooms, which are a cool white with the occasional bamboo accent. A location in the heart of the art-deco district makes it easy walking to the exclusive shops and gourmet dining along Ocean Drive and Washington Avenue.

The Details
The hotel offers 45 intimate guest rooms with mini-bars, safes, coffeemakers and plush robes. Guests can start their mornings with a European-style buffet breakfast on the private sundeck, and end the day with a drink in the lounge or by the garden pool. This heated courtyard pool is often the backdrop for parties. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available in the public areas. Small pets are welcome.

This has to be the worst hotel Ever - More like Motel. The floors are concrete,with no rugs, the floor was dusty, no space to hang up your clothes or put them in drawers. It was freezing constantly, the rooms do not have individual temperature controls, The best they could do was give us more blankets, There is NO POOL and the jacuzzi was cold water - no heat at all , i got 2 different stories 1st the jacuzzi turns off at midnight and 2nd the maintenance man was here to fix it, i'll give him a call. Yes it is in the middle of everything, the shops on lincoln drive, and 2 blocks from the beach. But it really is comparable to a stay in a hostel. Thats what it felt like. The continental breakfast was the worst ever - a counter set up with 1 toaster, bagels, oj, tea and coffee and that is virtually it. The only up side - we could do some people watching from the balcony, but the beds on the balcony or loungers looked like that sheets had not been washed in a long time, one woman was laying on it nayked and there was a brown stain on it, But the courtyard was pretty. The staff could not help with directions, i had to ask for an iron, and there was construction going on outside the building. This was my worst hotel experience ever - DON"T Go !!! Trust the negative reviews don't go - not now not ever - It's a hole in the wall. With no space at all.

Pros: Close to Everything

Cons: worst than hostel-ish

If you like cement floors, dirty bathrooms and rubbermaid night stands, then the Aqua Hotel is for you. The rooms were a very nice size, but it looked like they went to the thrift store to furnish it. When you check in, don't expect anyone to help you upstairs with your bags.(No elavator, only 2 floors) My stay there was not that pleasant, except for the beautiful friend I met from England. The hotel(really a motel) lost power at about 10pm Sat and was not restored until 11pm Sun. After that, there was no hot water or clean towels. (Oh and no continental breakfast. Since when do you need power for fresh fruit and pastries?) The staff was not friendly at all.

Pros: Location to beach

Cons: Aqua Hotel
