The hotel is in a good location however the noise coming from the nightly music next door (DJ/live band) made it difficult to sleep. We asked to move rooms but were told there was a club on the other side and they had no other rooms. There was also a musty smell probably due to the carpets.

Staff was very friendly but absent. Mattress was terrible and literally sitting on the floor. No phone in the room. Housekeeping showed up at 6:30pm to clean room, took all the towels without replacing them. Had to walk to the front lobby to request more towels but they never sent any as of 11am the next day. Air conditioner stopped working. Toilet stopped working. Shower leaked everywhere and the vanity had broken and was hanging off the wall.

Check-in took over 1 1/2 hours. Our room was not situated in the Hotel Breakwater building. We had to cross a restaurant and an ice cream shop and were directed to another elevator in another hotel next door. Our room had not been cleaned at all before our arrival. Dust on EVERYTHING, dirty carpet, no bedding for the pull-out couch. No hot water in the indoor shower. Every surfact of room covered in layer of dust and dirt. Rodent droppings on the floor in the main area of room, and in shower.

Arrived at check in time and room wasn’t ready had to sit in lobby for 45 minutes until it was ready which was not fun after traveling with a kid. Went to room and it was not nice walls looked dirty and marks all over them there was no sheets or pillows for the sleeper sofa had to call 2 times to get them then would only give us one pillow. The mattress on the sleeper sofa was all ripped and was flat. The bathroom door wouldn’t stay shut and was dirty and after walking on the floor feet were black. Supposed to have coffee in the room and there was nothing only coffee machine. for the money they charge nearly $500 for a night it is not worth it will never go back or recommend.

Don't stay here if you want quiet, peaceful sleep. Our room overlooked the pool and the outdoor bar that's part of the hotel. There was loud, thumping music from a live band until 1:30am the 2 nights we were there - Sun and Mon. The bed was not the most comfortable either. But, it was a neat, old hotel in a great location. The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly.

I've stayed here multiple times through the years and never had any issues. It's always been my go to. BUT things have definitely changed. To start with it's now impossible to get anyone to answer the phone. I was told I would receive a call when my room was ready. 7 pm rolls around and still no call. Once I finally get into my room I had zero hot water, no trash can, and room had barely been cleaned. Got zero sleep (not due to the typical thumping from South Beach) because there was what seemed to be a malfunctioning alarm of some sort going off all night right outside of my room. And of course no one at the front desk would answer the phone. So to sum it up. Excessively late check-in, no hot water, dirty room and zero sleep. The location is as great as ever but at this point it's not worth it. Find something legitimate close by.
