This is our second stay on ocean drive. The first at a neighbour property was terrible with no sleep due to the constant noise however this stay at the penguin has been a delight. The hotel is gorgeous and the room was bright and airy. We did bit encounter any noise from the street and slept sound. We didn't use the pool but made use of our welcome drinks and breakfast both of which were good. We parked at the local municipal carpark which is a 3 min walk as this was only $20 for 24 hours. Loads of spaces on a Monday in September but unlikely in peak season. We will definitely be staying at the penguin again next time we are in Miami

My wife and I TOTALLY enjoyed our stay at The Penguin. We loved our terrace but the sliding glass door was in disrepair...that was the only cloud on our vacation. Thank you Lourdes and staff for such excellent and friendly service.

So they have this sign right by check-in that says you can upgrade your room for $20.00 a day. Hmm, that sounds good to me I say so I ask for the upgrade. I don't know if the employee spoke English well enough to understand or what, because he nods and says yes. He then gives me the key to the regular room we had reserved. Again I ask about the upgrade, this time he says, no here is your key. Not even an explanation, can you imagine that. It was not clean either.

The overall stay was comfortable...only thing is i feel the place needs renovation...the free breakfast at rhe sister hotel was very good..and the receptionists during the day were very friendly.....theres a latina lady with the prettiest blue eyes whos also from NY.....i cant remember her name...but she was amazing.....i wish i knew it so i can state it here...i hope this description helps....the room was a bit small but comfortable.i had the waterfront...it was a good view but the padded windowsill looked questionable...it had very old stains on it....i would stay here again mainly because of the price...its very hard to find affordable stays on the strip...and for that receptionist with the pretty blue. Eyes....so humble and sweet 😊

The hotel was nice and the breakfast was also good. My only issue was the pool was closed the entire time we stayed Saturday to Monday. They stated because of the weather but it would rain on and off only. I asked a neighboring hotel and there’s was open. One of the reasons I chose it was because it had a pool for my kids so that was the only disappointment.

The room was exactly as shown on the website and the size was bigger than expected. Staff was friendly and helpful and everything was clean. Only downside was the construction next door and no food or bar at the hotel - had to walk to the sister hotel located on the next street over.
