Three words to describe this hotel, "Oh my God!!"
Want more? OK, here we go,
My wife & I went to the FourPoints Miami Beach for a few nights post cruise. After having an exceptional holiday on the Freedom of the Seas we found ourselves "dumped" in the hotel from hell.
Upon arriving at around 9am we were told our room wasn't ready as it was still occupied. We did book the hotel 10 months in advance so we didn't expect that. We had to leave our luggage in a little storage room and find something to do so we went to have a look around outside. At the back of the hotel is Miami Beach just beyond a boardwalk. Nice as it looked, there was no one around to deal with deck chairs and parasols. It doesn't matter anyway because our room wasn't available to get changed into suitable clothing. To the right of the hotel was a building site ...
Advantages: clean and comfortable Disadvantages: bar is expensive
We stayed at this hotel for a short easter break earlier this year. Having booked the room for three nights through a cheap last minute holiday website including flights, it turned out to be very good value for money.

Nevertheless, a good stay, and would go there again. ...

We managed to get a special offer room for 60 euros per night and were very surprised to end up in the Hochzeit zimmer, or honeymoon room.
Location
The only difficulty we had was with the location of the hotel, we should have looked into this before arriving in Dresden to make sure we knew where we were going as we were using public transport, and the hotel was out of the main city centre. The hotel is situated on the Altstadt side of the Elbe, were the Zwinger and opera house are. We took the tram to get to the hotel it took about 10 ...
