It did the trick
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/20/08
After reading some of the hysterical reviews about this place, I was a little concerned when I checked in. (I booked as part of an Orbitz package.) For what you get, though, it's not a bad place at all. The hotel is a little rundown--it used to be a Clarion, and it hasn't been renovated--but the front desk staff were agreeable, my room was very clean (no nasty hairs or bugs), everything in my room worked fine, and I had no problems at all. Miami hotels are extremely expensive, and if I had more to spend, I'd certainly stay somewhere else. And if I didn't have to be downtown near the convention center, I'd stay in some other part of the city, since NOTHING happens in this neck of the woods after dark, and the area becomes quite desolate. But for two nights, the River Park served my needs.
