6/10 Good

Room was clean and comfortable and couldn't beat the location. Only negatives was the bass coming from next door into the night but I brought ear plugs which helped some. And could use more condiments with the coffee.
Janet, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great rooms except one had centipedes and shower leaked a bit. The rooms were not together which was weird given my kids were several doors down. It was loud at night. Awesome area though. Breakfast good. Just a 6-8 minute walk down the street.
Melissa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The mattress was like sleeping on a brick. Only one of the shower heads worked. And the outlets closest to the window didn’t work at all (near the bed). We won’t be coming back.

We had the penthouse ocean room, and it was amazing! The room was clean and spacious. Then out on the rooftop, we had our own private pool! The staff were all very kind as well.

Worst Hotel

The room reeked of a foul odor, the bedding was stained, and the mattress sank in like a hole as soon as we lay down. Truly the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had.
Harjinder, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Restaurant a bit pricey The mattress is NOT comfortable at all.
Wanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My stay was great. I liked how it is located on the ocean driver strip right by multiple restaurants and the beach. My room was clean and quiet. I wish they had a microwave and more than one trash bin. The staff there were very accommodating. They have a nice size pool and you get discount on some of the restaurants that are in the area. They do charge resort fee of $40 a night and they do hold $100 incidentals. If I do return to Miami I will stay here again.
Shayna, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was nice enough and a comfy bed but what they forgot to mention on the description is that there is an open air dance club on the ground floor of the hotel which plays LOUD from mid morning to 3am non-stop. Unless you’re here to party only I strongly suggest you stay elsewhere as you cannot sleep here.

Neal, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Melissa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not horrible

We stayed in the building behind the location. The room was nice, you could hear the bar across the street but it wasn’t too loud and we were able to sleep through it. The key cards are extremely sensitive to deactivation. I had to go to the front lest multiple times to have them reactivated. I had to walk through an ice cream shop, 2 bars and a restaurant to do this because of the location of our room. The front desk staff were super friendly and didn’t seem to mind me having to do this daily. It’s a very good location to be close to action, restaurants etc. We had to ask for towels and trash pickup in the room but they were very nice and did assist. I didn enjoy the large bathroom and shower. A microwave would have been nice to have in the larger room.

Stop and read

I stayed at this hotel once before and it wasnt so bad. So I gave them a second chance, it was going to be just for one night. I was so disappointed how the power went off early the morning I was leaving for a cruise. I went down to speak to the clerk about how the bathroom don't have any power and the iron doesn't. The clerk speak very little English, but she gave her time to someone that speak Spanish for every need the other client had. She finally looked at me and tried to understand what I was telling her. She finally told me how she cannot give me any extra time in the room to shower, get dress or groom myself in the bathroom or get a iron. I called back downstair for some accommodation before checkout time. Mr. Ruben answers the phone, he called a electric to check out the room. The power was out on the whole of the room, and he had to switch something to get the power back on. I was able to check out on time. When I went down to checkout another couple was down their complaining about their room to that same clerk. I had a different hotel once I returned from my cruise. I stayed at the Coloney Hotel few hotel down from Breakwater. Excellent services, great food price and the beds comfortable.

The room was a little older but you definitely cannot beat that location. Shower was large with good water pressure. Tiles are older but everything was clean. We stayed in the secondary building past a gelato shop. It was everything you would expect from an Ocean Drive hotel. We could not hear any loud music at night as was mentioned in other reviews.
