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!

The location was great and close to everything! The staff could have been nicer but that is our only omplaint complaint.
Amos, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We had to get a new card every day to unlock our door, sometimes twice a day. There’s a towel shortage. Front Desk was excellent even after I was upset about door. I was very irritated to keep going downstairs for a key. Also the ice machine was broke. I was the go to for my group and they all complained about the key card and they didn’t get there room cleaned even when requested
Dedora, 5-night trip

Great employees
Jeff, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Maybe next time

Hotel Breakwater is one of my favorite hotels, but we did a a few issues and I can see the change in ownership.
2-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.
