YVE Hotel Miami

Honestly confused by the reviews for this hotel. The carpet in the room was not only dirty but had dried paint flecks and dry paint dust covering the floors evidenced by the layer of white dust on my black socks. The hallway smelled like a mix of pool water and mildew while the fragrance in the lobby could be smelled from outside. The bathroom was TINY, like you could barely turn around small and could wash your hands while sitting on the toilet small. The water pressure in the shower was ridiculously low, and the shower control knob literally broke off while showering and cut my sister's foot, on top of that the bathroom fan didn't really work making the small very steamy bathroom with only hot water (due to the faulty knob) an even worse experience. Also the supplied conditioner container looked like it had never been cleaned, you could see multiple layers of old conditioner build up in different colors. The bed headboard was a microfiber almost texture that was cracking and flaking on my hair when I sat up against it and the bedding was pretty much 2 flat sheets and a blanket, no comforter or duvet. While I know this isn't a luxury resort, overall it was not only underwhelming but not very clean or functional even. Also valet parking, the only parking we could find or were pointed to, was $40/ night, a little high for guests in my opinion. The valet staff was nice but did take a little while however I don't think it was the staff but the location that caused this. They also had a small valet staff, maybe it would be helpful to implement a call-ahead system to help the wait. Pros: The front desk staff was nice, the lobby had a lot of security (not sure if this is normal but I guess if they feel it is needed it was appreciated) and the location seemed good even though we didn't stay long. Bottom line, was it the worst hotel I've ever stayed in... no. But would I stay again or recommend it, no.
