Townhouse

Townhouse was recommended in two of our three travel guides so we knew we had to at least visit. After our "hostel" ended up being the Bates Motel, we were stranded for the night and went to the Days Inn. This was barely better, so the next night we made reservations at Townhouse.

Townhouse is designed to feel more like home than a hotel. The stark white and red decorations are clean but comfortable, the beds come with beach balls and large pillows, and there is an exercise machine at the end of each hallway, as if it's the stationery bike in front of your TV at home. Breakfast is served in a kitchenette on the bottom floor just like at home. Grab a plate, a croissant, boiled egg, fruit and a cup of coffee (or orange juice if you're me) and sit at one of the communal tables in the lobby. On the roof, to make up for the lack of pool, there is a swank garden with comfy lounge chairs, waterbed-ish couches, and a fully stocked bar that starts serving the cool kids after 8pm. In the basement is a bar and sushi restaurant, but we opted for a gourmet pizza from down the street instead.

Townhouse was fun, the free swag was adorable, and we all left South Beach glad that we spent our last night in such a fabulous hotel. Even waiting for the taxi was fun, it gave us plenty of time to chill on the porch swings. The hotel is more of a budget boutique hotel than most of the others on the beach, which worked out well for us. It gave us a fun, sophisticated experience without requiring another student loan. I highly recommend it, but with the all-white decor, probably not if you have 

children...

Travel well!
