This hotel has no full mirrors anywhere. They also have extra charges for resort fee and other amenities outside what you pay for on Expedia

Park Central South Beach
The beach view from the first floor was limited. The room had some maintenance issues (the smoke detector and one of the blinds). The breakfast included was basic but ok. The room was beautiful and very spacious.
