Would’ve been nice if they weren’t deceptive and sent us to their other hotel a mile away when all of our planne activities were right by Breakwater - not only did we have to pay to Uber to their other hotel we also had to Uber everywhere because we didn’t get a rental car since all our planned activities were near Breakwater. Ridiculous. Then came back the next couple days to see if we could switch back to our room that they obviously gave away, to check if they “fixed the a/c” and none of the other employees knew anything about a broken a/c. No, the guy the night we arrived just outright lied about giving our room away. I called several times to report we’d be late to our room since our flights were delayed several times, I also sent emails in two different places. No answer to any of it! Again, ridiculous. All the employees were nice but it’s ridiculous that the first guy outright lied to us. Then we had to cram in room at the other hotel instead of the suite we paid for at Breakwater. Then an employee at the second hotel had the nerve to tell us we weren’t supposed to have the roll away bed in our room that was OFFERED to us for having to stay in the smaller room, and said she’d let it slide this time but not next time. WHAT? Absolutely will be no next time! Let’s not even get started on having to listen to all the construction outside and inside of the hotel. The whole thing was absolutely ridiculous. I don’t typically write complaint reviews but goodness. Total waste.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Not worth it! Slowest check-in guy at the front desk that I've ever encountered in my life! He had a snooty and arrogant demeanor as well. Then I saw he charged me 80 bucks when I got home. I only stayed one night and did not park there. An additional resort fee is $35. What was the extra for? He confirmed I did not pay for anything else when I checked out, so I didn't ask for a statement. Big mistake! The only reason I gave service 3 stars is because there was a super sweet younger guy next to the front desk who was so helpful with holding luggage, providing pool/beach towels, bringing out complimentary bikes, and giving great advice on where to go. He's the only reason I didn't give 1 star for the service. It would have been 5 stars if it was just him and not the other older guy checking us in. I wish I had gotten both of their names.

Nice Room & Location but next door Hotel is loud.

Great location to bars, beach, hotels and restaurants with great staff, clean rooms and overall excellent service. Clevelander Hotel is crazy loud on Fri/Sat nights until 3:30am. We sleep well so it was no issue and we had rooftop deck overlooking Ocean, Ocean Drive and Clevelander Hotel (in Edison Hotel that Breakwater must now own or manage).

Definitely recommend 10/10

I honestly can’t complain about one thing. I loved our room. Yes, it was loud because my room was directly across from a sports bar that closed around 4 am, but the music was jamming all night. The food in the hotel outdoor bar area was really good and entertainment was great. Great view of the ocean and literally across the street from the beach. Recommend 10/10. We will definitely be back!

A musty room with a dirty, small pool. A 50 dollar valet parking fee per day is a racket. It was run down and noisy. Glad we only stayed one night. Do not recommend. If I could give it zero stars I would.
