Staying at Life House, Little Havana was a mix of great and disappointing moments. The inviting lobby atmosphere and rooftop bar with stunning views stood out, but I faced some challenges with room size and noise. Overall, it’s a charming hotel with a unique vibe, but there are noticeable areas for improvement.

The Cozy Queen room was very clean, but it felt cramped at just 107 square feet. I struggled with storage space, especially with my luggage. Plus, I noticed some noise issues from the lobby, which made it hard to relax at times.

Service

The front desk team was genuinely polite and helpful, which made me feel welcomed. However, I did expect a bit more from the staff in terms of handling issues, such as not addressing concerns about the room's cleanliness when I found a cockroach.

The hotel is nestled in Little Havana, providing easy access to local attractions and the vibrant culture of the area. While the residential vibe is nice, it does feel slightly sketchy in some parts, which may not suit everyone.

The rooftop bar had a fantastic selection of artisanal cocktails. Though disappointed that the restaurant closed without notice during my stay, I enjoyed the outdoor patio ambiance. I wasn't impressed with the food options, especially the burger and cheese pancakes I ordered – they missed the mark.

I appreciated the self check-in process and the cozy rooftop bar, but more communication about available facilities would have been helpful. There’s no fridge or coffee maker in the room, which was a letdown for my overall experience.
