Freckles's profile and reviews

The Westin Galleria is a perfect location for someone who wants a convenient location to the mall. The mall is great, a good variety of stores, including a lot of high end stores. It’s very nice for shopping, at your doorstep. There are a lot of great restaurants as well.

I've stayed there three or four times and would stay again. If your purpose is shopping and eating, it is all right there.

The Eden Roc is a nice hotel, right on the Atlantic. It has been renovated over the years, at various times. It could probably use another upgrade, as some things appear a bit tired.

The main thing I don't like is that it is not within walking distance to South Beach, but it is close to a bus line that takes you to SoBe and the Bayside Marketplace. In my opinion, the location is the primary drawback, otherwise it is fine. The gift shop, though, is not very good, very small and not much to chose from. I've stayed there a couple of times.

I like the hotel because it is right on Biscaye Bay and it is an easy walk to the Bayside Marketplace. The Bayside Marketplace is home to the Hard Rock Cafe, numerous restaurants, shops, bay boat tours etc.

You can also walk to businesses downtown. The bus stop is convenient to the Bayside Marketplace, so that one can get to South Beach.

This is one of the classic hotels of New York, brimming with history. The lobby in particular is very nice, with the famous clock and large, fresh floral display. The restaurants and bars are quite good, as is the location near Grand Central Station, St. Patrick’s and Rockefeller Center. Service is good. I've stayed there a few times and will stay again.
