We stayed at the MO Miami the fall of 2005 after returning from our cruise. It was a very nice hotel but it didn't blow me away. Their artificial beach was kind of interesting but I think I would have enjoyed staying somewhere near SOBE like we did before the cruise. I found the pool area to be fairly small as it was packed during the day. We wanted to check out the area just across the bridge into the surrounding area but because it's located in a business district, the neighbourhood wasn't as lively as we were hoping. We ended up cabbing it to Coconut Grove (if I remember correctly).

Miscellaneous: Staff were great. Found a stain on the couch. Had some great sushi for lunch at Café Sambal but it was overpriced.

In short, I found it to be a nice place to stay if you're in town for business or are just going to hang out at the hotel but I think there would better options to stay (location-wise) as a tourist.
