I just finished my Miami Beach vacation at the Royal Palm Hotel. First off, I must tip my hat to Expedia.com for saving me more than $400.00 on this trip. The hotel more than served its purpose. I was not placed in the main hotel but was fortunate enough to be placed in the outer cabana rooms that f...

Small Room is my only complaint - user review
We had an overall great experience aside from getting a smaller than expected room.

Good hotel if you do not have any neighbors. The sound proofing of rooms is terrible and you can hear your next door neighbors conversations.
