Panoramic Bay View Studio Suite & Balcony

Please hear me out before booking. I almost gave them 3 stars instead of the 4 I gave them because they did not disclose the mandatory damage fee when booking. Either they hold $1,000 from your credit card, or you pay a non-refundable $60 fee. It’s not about the money for me. It’s the fact that it caught me by surprise minutes before I started heading to Miami. I was forced to pay it, or I wouldn’t have a trip because I would’ve had to cancel the booking and find something else last minute. Other than that, I would have given them a 5 star review, because the location is beautiful, the room was worth what you pay for it, and parking was part of the hotel. Last but important detail. This room is on the 18th floor. If you don’t do well with heights, or if you bring kids, you just might be on edge, at least initially. What made it worst for me was that the sliding door lock appeared to be broken, and having a toddler made me feel uneasy. But that might just be me.

Detail-oriented review time. The linens felt premium, towels plush, bathrobes waiting by the door, and water pressure in the shower was great. I loved the minimal design but that big private balcony stole the show. Check-in via the app was a tad fiddly at first, and the kettle heated slowly, but the rooftop fitness center and bay-view pool were worth it. Breakfast buffet isn't included, but the lobby coffee hit the spot.

Loved the bay view from the private balcony. Mornings were calm, coffee in hand, boats drifting by. The room is clean and designed to feel good to be in. Minor gripes: the A/C kicked on with a loud thump the first night, and the kettle took a while to boil. Front desk helped fast, and maintenance fixed the issue by mid-morning. Would stay again.

AMAZING stay. Two adults and a teen, and we never felt crowded. The bay views from the balcony are as good as it gets, and we squeezed in workouts in the rooftop gym with skyline views. Easy stroll to restaurants, and the quiet inside was exactly what we needed. Only nitpick: self-parking lane is tight for an SUV, and the coffee line in the lobby gets long on weekends. Still, we'd come back in a heartbeat.

It is a very quiet place to relax, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and parks. You can walk around. I was very happy to stay there. Recommended.

Such a great place to stay! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the room view was amazing — especially at sunrise. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it

Loved the apartment, beautiful view of the bay and skyline. Highly recommended lots of restaurants, ice cream shops, stores, parks, small Public library absolutely adorable. Close to Coral Gables, Brickle, Key biscayne. If you have a car parking was includes which is a huge perk. Overall a wonderful stay. I have visited Hotel Arya and it’s a great deal! Super host!
