Fodor's Review:
Despite its minimalist name, this boutique hotel has gotten maximum applause thanks to fashion designer Todd Oldham, who brought the colors of the sand and the sea indoors. Individually painted tiles, pale ash desks, and mosaic-pattern rugs delight the eyes. Bejeweled bathrooms, decidedly petite, are the most colorful in Miami, and they even have separate temperature controls. Add soft lighting and two-person bathtubs, and you have all the makings of a romantic retreat. The excellent restaurant Wish serves creative cuisine indoors or out. Best of all is the intimate rooftop pool with spectacular, unobstructed views of the sea. Have breakfast here. Also on the rooftop is a bar set around the 1939 landmark spire with the hotel's original name: Tiffany. Pros: Great service and beautiful pool deck with free cabana usage; good for couples. Cons: A block from the beach. "Designer" rooms have no views.

I don't think there is any denying you get what you pay for, as the service is good, even housekeeping. That said, i'm not sure hearing you stayed in the same room as Jenna Jameson is a real selling point. Rooftop pool is spectacular and service is worth what you are paying. Ask for Livingston, he's the top.
