The rustically civilized lobby and tropical courtyard here are delightfully serene places to while away a few hours. Mix in a generally friendly staff, a cool pool and a location just far enough from the madness and you've got a recipe for a restful retreat. Unless, of course, the back dining area is pumping, as its occasionally wont to do.They love their old-school Miami Beach souvenir kitsch here, from the moment you get your key (attached to a plastic alligator) to the instant you crash in one of the quirked-out, funky (and yes, occasionally ratty) rooms. Visitors should be fairly happy - although nothing is perfect. Yes, street parking is difficult to find, but there is a nearby municipal lot. Yes, there can be noise, but you expect that at 90% of hotels in Miami. Yes, it's a trek to South Beach, but the beach that's a block and a half away is fabulous and less crowded than others. Magic moments mainly come when you appreciate the somehow beautiful aesthetic, a gorgeously tacky spirit that also motivates old Miami Beach women to dye their hair blue.

Walk up Indian Creek Dr and take a lingering gaze at the waters of the intercoastal off to the west. You'll stroll past the retirement blocks of Miami Beach's older, largely Yiddish-speaking Jewish community, including Orthodox types who amble up the nearby boardwalk in 17th century gabardine coats - next to the supermodels.
