If you want a nice hotel , go somewhere else
I didn't leave this review at the time I was there because I thought they would improve. Apparently they haven't.
I was there the week of May 18 2008 for 5 days. I read many of the reviews here and on other sites and call the hotel manager about the things being said in the reviews before I made reservations at the Marco Polo. The manager assured me that most of the bad reviews were from disgruntled customers who wanted refunds for something. So I took a chance. The pool, access to the beach and the location of the hotel was great, However, as many others have said, once you leave the lobby the smell in the upper floor hallways was bad enough to make me gag, The rooms were about 1 star rated (I had 1 renovated and 1 not renovated) I had to switch rooms because the smell seeped in the vents after the 2nd day. The continental breakfast consisted of oatmeal, cold cereal, toast and English muffins, fruit, watered down milk and juice. For the $8.00 they charge for the breakfast I’d been better served at Mc Donald’s a few blocks away. Housekeeping left my room door unlocked several times I informed management they assured it wouldn't happen again and it did.
Bottom line, if you want a low rate hotel in Sunny Isles the Marco polo is the place for you. My advice is to go a few blocks south and pay a little more money.
