Bad
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.

Good location/cool old hotel, staff hit or miss
Great location, cool old hotel and right on the beach. Service was inconsistent/poor, doorman walked me to the room and didn’t offer to help with bags and another front desk guy never called taxi service to the airport. Had to ask another person to handle it (and they did very well).

Noise levels - Unexpected and Unacceptable
I am conflicted writing this review as the hotel itself has no control on the neighboring outdoor bar/restaurant. The hotel itself is cute, comfortable, convenient and service was good. However, it sits directly next to a bar/restaurant called Oceans Ten - that is open air and played music or had a DJ each night (Friday and Saturday) until 3am. It's so overbearing that you have to raise your voice in the lobby when talking to the staff. Music started each day at 11am and by 8pm had risen to levels that were impossible to deal with. If you are unlucky enough to be on the side of the hotel sitting next to the open air bar - you will have extreme difficulty sleeping on those nights. Even when the staff asked them to lower the volume - they did not comply. Obviously it is Miami and South Beach and it's understandable there will be noise late in the night - but past midnight at the volume levels Oceans TEN has it at and in an area with hotels and residents - is unacceptable It is really a bummer as the hotel and staff have no control in the situation and you can tell they are just as bothered by the noise level. I just feel like anyone reserving deserves to know what they are getting into. We cut our trip short by a night because we could not take another night without sleep.

2/10 Poor

I had a very unpleasant experience during my stay at this hotel. The room felt damp the entire time, which made me feel uncomfortable and ultimately left me feeling sick. On top of that, our window was right next to a stage for the bar next door, and the loud music played until 2 a.m. every night. The noise made it impossible to sleep, and it completely ruined my stay. I would not recommend this hotel if you're looking for a restful, comfortable experience.

Junior Suite average
We stayed in a Junior Suite. It was more spacious but it was in average condition and looked much nicer in photos. It was away from the main lobby of the hotel. Had to use elevator in the Gelato store on street level to access the room. The air conditioner was leaking but at least it worked and kept the room cool. Staff was ok and always felt abrupt in their actions. Hotel was sold out so they may have been overwhelmed. Location was good. Price per night was a bit high for what you get.

Great location and historic hotel
The location is amazing. Right across from the beach. Lots of restaurants and history around. Hotel is older and historic, so not super modern. The band plays until late, until 1 on our night, and we could feel the base the entire time. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

2/10 Poor

The room in the hotel was filthy. The toilet could barely drop the water down. To get to the room you will need to pass another building. The hotel had it reserved parking at the Pelican garage which had a sign that said 25 dollars for 5 hours at the entrance which I did not notice and the hotel did not inform the guests and you would end up paying for overnight parking about 60-90 dollars.

From the moment of checking in to checking out, the staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. They allowed me to check in early by 3 hours and late by 2 hours. They have beach chairs and towels available at the desk to walk across the street to the beach. Right in the heart of south beach the location can’t be beat!
