WhyHotel Midtown Miami

Our party of 7 booked 2 units with 2 bedrooms each for an overnight stay in Miami. Ugh, where to start. Here's the good. The units were (probably) a little less expensive than booking 4 individual hotel rooms that we would otherwise have needed. The location near Wynwood is good, as it is fairly close to the airport. But....checking in was a ridiculous mess. If you can even find the office and someone is in it to help you, that is a victory. You have to download an app to access your unit. Even after you download it, it uses bluetooth to unlock the doors, which may or may not work. We had to have someone actually accompany us to our units with his own device so he could open the locks. After our phones finally succeeded, they seemed to remember and we were able to open them ourselves. But after a long international flight, dealing with that mess was not ideal. The building seems very poorly constructed. The whole parking garage shook when a car drove by. The hallways smell like the gym. Our unit smelled like stale smoke and when we arrived the balcony doors were open and a fumigating machine was operating in there. Yuck. There was no kleenex and the TP was thin and scratchy. There was no hair dryer. We requested one but it was never delivered. Very low water pressure in the shower. Although rooms purport to be "queen", they are double beds that look like the ones from IKEA. There was not one mug or cup even though the kitchen is supposed to be "chef ready". After requesting a mug so we could make tea, it was delivered as we were checking out. The hallways are just bizarre, long and institutional looking as shown in the picture. Just weird. I give Why Hotel 2 stars because the staff was nice (and apologetic), the location was good, and the beds were comfortable, if smaller than advertised. Would recommend for a single night if you need a place to crash before going to the airport but not for a minute longer.
