Love everything was so close to the hotel liquor stores Walgreens and cvs. Food near by and bars and clubs. We didn’t have a phone in the room that’s the only thing.

Staff was amazing and very accommodating, was in the perfect location. Hotel was in walking distance of the beach and local restaurants and shopping centers. Rooms did feel a bit humid inside which resulted in a mold smell. Other than that room service was great! We requested a new room because our first had a strong mold smell with no ventilation from outside and we were moved shortly after to a nicer sweet.

Surprisingly the room was very nice, clean and spacious. Only downside was that the ac unit in the room wasn’t working properly and it was very stuffy. Engineering came to the room and “fixed” it but still no change in the climate of the room. The temp was set to 70 and felt more like heat than cooling. Another downside was that’s the steam option in the shower didn’t work; was informed by the front desk that all steamer don’t work. Otherwise, my experience at the kaskade/ gale hotel was good. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach.

A lovely, quiet boutique hotel. The room was just as pictured with comfortable beds and nice amenities. We loved having coffee on our balcony in the morning and relaxing in the evening. The staff were friendly and helpful and check in was easy. Easy walk to the beach, shopping and dining. Would definitely stay again.

this property had a steam shower and i took the best showers of my life. it was walkable and comfortable. not sketchy but still wouldn’t recommend at night if you’re alone. the staff was nice but we didn’t really talk other than checking in. the location couldn’t be better, there was food, and bars and all kinds of places just a block up the street.

It was my second time staying at this hotel. First time was last year. It’s a nice property with balconies, big bathtub and a bathroom can turn into a steam room. Large rooms. But this time their housekeeping service was terrible! They don’t refill amenities like lotions, shampoos, coffee pods etc. Forget to take out garbage. Even forget to leave clean towels when making the room. I don’t know how this is possible! Overall I would probably stay there again because of the spacious rooms and nice bathrooms. But they really have to work on their services especially considering the price of the hotel room per night.

Nice, but Nothing Spectacular
The rooms were nice, but the balconies are small. The bathrooms are setup to be more of a sauna than a functional bathroom. Don't expect many on site amenities unless you're planning on going to the sister hotel across the street. The female receptionist/manager who was working early yesterday morning was extremely rude to my wife for no reason. The rest of the staff was very nice.

The cleaning staff stole my clothes! After checking out we realised we left a jacket and hoodie in the small, dark closet. We called the hotel and said we’d come back the next day to collect. When we showed up, they said nothing was there. There’s literally nowhere else they would’ve been since I didn’t wear them all week. I’m sure they’ll just gaslight me and deny this being possible, so here are some other reasons not to stay here. The construction noise from next door is unbearable, daily, and from early hours. Our tap water was brown one of the days. The rooftop pool area is very sad-looking and unused. Toilet and shower privacy is non-existent.

So the location was really cool because it was close ti everything. The valet parking was kind of annoying, you would have to give them a 30-45 min heads up, but the phones didn’t work. So I would have to leave the room and go to the front desk every time to ask for the car. There was no remote to control the volume of the tv, just a Roku remote. When I presented my concern to the front desk they told me to press source on the sound bar, but the problem was the sound bar wasn’t on. The room was clean, staff were nice even though they didn’t seem to be too helpful. Maybe it was just a communication problem. The pool was very small, no one was there so I guess that’s a plus. My favorite part was the location, very close to the beach, restaurants, and coffee shops. I think this hotel could be a lot better if they worked on some of the issues at hand.

The lobby, hallways, and elevator smelled horrendous. Thankfully the room did not smell anything close to those common areas. The management should have better standards on how they upkeep those areas. I understand it is a high traffic area but I walked inside a few other hotels on the same street and they did not reek of inrine, so it’s not impossible.

The hotel was OK but not outstanding. The advertised ‘pool’ was essentially an oversized bathtub. Miami Beach is a very expensive lodging market so be prepared to pay if you want anything nice.
