Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
They said the room we were given was renovated. Yes the floor was. The shower had mold and other stains. There was a dead water bug in one of the drawers. We informed the front desk upon check out. They gave a dry sorry. You could tell this wasn’t anything new to them. The rooms need ventilation. Turning on the air doesn’t get rid of the old stuffy smell. Their location is prime. They can afford to invest into the property!

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and spacious, though our friends' room was a different configuration and smaller so all rooms are not the same. The hotel is a bit of a maze, consisting of multiple buildings. We were greeted warmly at check-in, and hotel personnel were all helpful and cheerful. Location is fabulous. Parking? Ridiculous pricing but expected for South Beach. We booked this hotel because we were meeting friends who had cruised from Barcelona and the Breakwater was part of their package.

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.

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.

Loved the bartender because we had to hang out there for several hours before the 4:00 check in, which we were told the room still wasn’t ready. We didn’t get into the room until nearly 5:00 because the keys weren’t working. Absolutely no assistance from the housekeeping staff to access the room. Front desk staff were nice.

The stay started by not getting the bed arrangement we had asked for. The next day I ended up paying $40 for a mediocre breakfast because I went to the restaurant right between the two wings of the hotel! Apparently this restaurant is not part of the hotel but is right in the middle of it! Makes absolutely NO sense. The two actual restaurants that offered 10% off didn’t open until 11:30 AM. For breakfast you had to walk 3 blocks to find a restaurant affiliated with the hotel that actually served breakfast. I finally found the pool but had to be directed to it. On our last day the elevator broke down! I spoke to someone at the front desk who assured me they were looking into it. An hour later when checking out and asking about the elevator, everyone at the front was VERY surprised as apparently nobody knew about it! I have a rare lung disease which makes it very difficult for me to climb stairs up to the 3rd floor where our room was. Luckily I was with my cousin who was able to carry our luggage down. The staff at the front desk was very unpleasant. This was probably the WORST hotel experience I ever had! Next time I will go back to my go to hotel on Collins Ave where the elevator doesn’t break down, breakfast is included, and the staff is always pleasant!

The check ins and getting rooms was not as professional as expected. My reservation was given away after it was already paid for in advance. I was made to pay for a new room before I was refunded for the overbooked canceled room. Staff member was cold and unwilling to help.
