Location of property was great. The layout and inconvenience of second building property was not clearly advertised. Access to the rooms are through a dance floor, bar restaurant and rear of an ice cream parlor (which flooded out when we were there). The elevator is small, dark and extremely slow. Taking the stairs isn’t any better being a maze of doors and corners. While the rooms are clean, they lack closets or armories. While you pay extra for room services, the actual service was lacking, failed to show up until 4PM by which time it was too late for us having just returned from the beach. FYI, Valet parking will not take larger SUV’s, so you will need to self park 6 blocks away. Tried to confirm that ahead of time to by the way. Felt the desk looked down on 3rd party customers, mentioned that fact a few times as if it was absolving. Maybe these accommodations and service levels are normal for South Beach? Unfortunately for the money we expected more. . .

I always stay at The Breakwater Hotel! Lily, Oscar and Martin are so friendly and make me feel like a VIP when I check in every time!! It is the best location in South Beach and great value for money. Quiet, clean, safe and located minutes away from all the nightlife not to mention the beach and boardwalk.

The area of this hotel was great. Lots of nice restaurants in the area, and the beach was very close and the gelato shop on site was amazing. The hotel itself was not the best though especially for the price. The room wasn’t ready at check in time. There were white stains on the curtains, the elevator to get to your room made a loud alarm for every floor, the walls were thin, so you could hear every other person and door closing in the hallway. Then there was music blaring until 3am right outside the window from the DJ. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Good afternoon, My name is Jennifer Charles and I had a stay over the weekend for one night at Breakwater Hotel in South Beach room 302 . With my stay at almost $300 a night I at least expected to truly love being in the room but opted to stay out of it as much as possible, being that the smell was horrendous. Not sure if it was mold or the latrine. When I complained about that, housekeeping, left a can of air freshener for us to spray to get rid of the smell. We had to stay with the windows open and no screen for the rest of the night. There was also leaking on the floor as if it was coming from the bathroom into the room. The TV did not work as well. with all this being said, the staff was lovely. I write to speak to a manager, so I can ensure that this doesn’t happen to another patron. Thank you for your time.
