Hotel Beware

We recently stayed at the River Park Hotel & Suites in Downtown Miami. This hotel is rundown. If you are looking for just a place to crash before a cruise, then it's ok, other than that I wouldn't recommend staying here. We booked this hotel through Hotels.com. It was paid for already, but the hotel still asks for a credit card so they can charge you for the safe that is in the room. We told them we didn't need to use the safe, but they still wanted to charge us for it. The charge for the safe is $2.00 and they added 14 cents sales tax. There are no restaurants onsite, so basically you are stuck ordering pizza. Do not order pizza from the advertisements you find under the door when you enter your room. Only order from a chain company such as Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. Continental Breakfast in the morning only consist of coffee, water, and a croissant. They also have orange juice, but they keep it in back so it's not advertised as being available. You have to ask for it. The beds are hard as rocks, and the furniture is old in the room. The only thing good about the room was that we had a view of the canal and could watch yachts go down it. This room ended up costing around $60.

There is other hotels in the area that are much nicer that I can recommend. Just ask me.
