2/10 Poor

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.

It was joyous!!! The bikes, beach chairs, beach towels, gourmet coffee, pool, gelato, and their friendly staff who went above and beyond (especially Martin) made the stay a phenomenal experience.
Tara, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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).
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was in a perfect location. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly. It is a historic hotel so rooms need some updating The bed was very comfortable and the pool was over a stage allowing us to enjoy the live music. If you are looking to enjoy the Miami vibe this is the place. We had a great time!
