OMG!! I just got home today from Miami and I have to say I LOVED this place. If you want a hotel with character, this is the place. It's not super fancy but it is weird, cute, interesting, and oh so decorative!!....and I love interesting!! The front desk lady was very nice and we arrived hella early but they held our bags for a $5 fee, which wasn't bad at all. It was clean, quiet, within about a 5min walk from the beach, and located near a ton of shopping and restaurants. My next visit to Miami will include the James Hotel!!
