Hotel Chelsea

The air conditioner worked on its own. It couldn't be controlled manually, except for turning it on and off. When the bathroom light was turned on, the exhaust fan would automatically turn on very loudly. It couldn't be turned off separately. It was noisy at night. The window was broken and had a gap. The toilet was poorly attached and always banged when used. The beds weren't comfortable. The hotel entrance was completely occupied by tables, and it was noisy in the evenings because of the restaurant's patrons. The price is high; if you have other options, look elsewhere.

It was average. The hotel was busy just after the electronic music festival. The extra cash I paid in US dollars was less than 900 RMB, which is about 300-400 RMB in China. The Cuban restaurant downstairs offers 15% discount for meals, but meals are expensive in the US and you have to tip. It's expensive, but it's close to the beach and it's a 5-10 minute walk to South Beach.
