Review of Washington Park Hotel South Beach 3*

Really old, classic Miami Beach Hotel made out of four buildings and grassy grounds with a small enclosed pool by the first building with nice chairs and towels. It's actually pretty elegant and has a grand, elegant feel in the lobby, but, like a lot of places these days (maybe it's because of the internet and the variety of guests it gets) lacking an attention to details. Seems understaffed too as most places seem to be. There's no pool attendant and it gets pretty dirty and messy out there with people leaving their trash, using the towels. They have nice lemon flavored water in the lobby and the pool area but it doesn't get replenished enough, the towels, too. It's a surprisingly relaxing and attractive pool area with a secluded, resort feel even with being right on Washington Avenue, but the pool is small and gets overrun with the children staying at the hotel which takes away the sexy "Miami vibe" and makes it hard for adults to use the pool, relax, swim laps, etc. The hotel might want to consider making the hotel a "no children under 12" property because the "family vibe" kind of ruins it. It has very stylish rooms, but a bit missing with housekeeping with odors, ripped drapes or straight up missing drapes. Again, it's probably because they're understaffed, they're rushed and aren't communicating with management so details get missed. AND "the Devil is in the details. " But, it is really charming with an old Miami resort feel (you can hear the other guests in the other rooms) but would probably be improved by bringing it to "adults only".
