Great location, a little dated but convenient directly across from a parking garage only $20 per day to park. Highly recommended would say again. Food and bar was nice. Staff was polite welcoming and respectful.

Pool was very small. Was told not to have too much fun swimming because the restaurant below wouldn’t like it. Fire alarm went off, that was an accident so no problem. Really enjoyed Miami Beach. Check-in system was very unorganized. Their communication with the housekeeping staff needs work. Very friendly people.

The Daydrift is a beautiful hotel. Has all you need for a night or two clean room, with lovely bathrooms, Bed was ok a little too soft with wear to the middle. The lobby, restaurant and pool and exquisite beautifully designed great food staff amazing. Biggest drawback is the noise coming from the restaurant and bar below and outside after 11 all is quiet.

Room was good. Humid and kind of smelly. Carpet and bathroom a bit dirty but overall easy stay. Saturday night the restaurant downstairs turned into a night club so was kind of noisy after 10:30pm. Not sure if I would stay on the weekend again.
