As a hostel goes, it is pleasant and has amenities any backpacker would want or need. It was a bit musty, but I think this is also partially the nature of the climate. There's a small fridge, a private washroom, and even a small area for extra storage or sitting for a meal. It is in an awkward spot as far as being somewhat far from anything you really 'want' to see (downtown Miami, Hollywood Beach, Miami Beach), so a car would be recommended for this location. But, if you're comfortable walking a couple blocks and just want to laze on a beach for a few days, this might be the place for you. Grocery, pharmacy, and restaurants all within a 5 minute walk, the beach is about 10 minutes. Altogether, not bad bang for your buck. Only other major gripe is the mattresses are absolutely terrible. Management, please change out every one of these low cost cots, the beds alone would dissuade from all the other likeable amenities.
