Today the hotel is stylish with decor that includes leather tufted sofas and chairs, wood wall panels, a faux fireplace, and gold starburst lamps in the lobby. Fun fish decorations over the front desk provide a bit of Miami Beach flavor. There’s also a coffee bar with hot beverages and juice in the lobby. Overall the atmosphere is refined and laid-back.
