Miami Beach hotels near Ocean Drive

Cons: The restaurants, while good, were never packed. Not much of a scene or bustle here.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: None

Cons: Unbelievable noise until 4am from poolside club. Cleaning of room was mediocre. Pool very crowded during day.

Cons: The breakfast could have been included.

Cons: The kitchen was out of service, but only a minor inconvenience.

Cons: Could use music by the pool

Cons: The breakfast was described as continental and was an unusual mix. Simply as a suggestion, it would be nice if basic pastries were provided in addition.

Cons: They overbooked and turned away me as well as 4+ other online booking thru 3rd party website customers.

Cons: Valet parking 42.00

Cons: I am sure it will be a better stay after construction is finally complete. For now, meh

Cons: Pool No happy hour on Monday Housekeeping was slow and at times forgetful

Cons: The staff was super warm, welcoming, and kind. The hotel recently opened and you could tell so a bit by the organization. My lunch took an hour and a half to come one day after having the wrong order delivered twice. My room wasn’t made up another day after requesting it to be cleaned several hours earlier. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and these seem to just hiccups of a new opening.

Cons: The room and hotel could have been cleaner. I think it’s just busier and there isn’t enough staff to support it

Cons: refrigerator that actually works AND microwave in room would help

Cons: THE only downside of This hotel is that the rooms have a smell of mold/ mildew. You can tell the hotel is an old building that got a facelift and somewhere they left off the fix mold part. I opened windows daily to air it out so it was Manageable. Just definitely be aware of this.

Cons: We tried getting beach towels twice, they were out. Didn't have more than one bath towel in the room, needed more before shower. They never came. 2 different service fees $22/day which really is $44/day.

Cons: i didnt care for how pricey everything was

Cons: Place is dirty. Stayed there in the past around 2 years ago and had a great experience. Place Has not been kept up. Rugs dirty, bathroom wall stained with something I would rather not mention. When checked in was told we got upgraded to Penthouse at no charge. Penthouse was old, dirty, filthy rugs with hot tub that did not work. Really??? Not an upgrade but a way to get someone in that room no one else would take. Declined upgrade and demanded the room we booked. Great location and staff but dirty. Also toiletries not replaced daily. Bring your own supplies

Cons: Housekeeping was horrible. The sinks in the bathroom were clogged, The bed was no comfy.

Cons: I could hear people walking above me. Their footsteps caused light fixture on my ceiling to rattle and both sounds were a bit annoying late at night. Breakfast was pretty bad. Everything was cold, in using the eggs, sausage and French toast. Also the total bill is a little more than what I thought I paid. The resort fee is included in the initial bill, without tax. The resort fee,with taxes, is actually charged at check out, which made my total about $8 more than expected.

Cons: Not for older couples or families, this does not include me but it is a forewarning. I didn't know gratuity would be added automatically until I arrived at my first day. But I was advised on the first day. The cleaning ladies were on time and did a great job, so gratuity was worth it.

Cons: Kayak was great but Breakwater is a sleezy lemon. Upon our arrival at 1 am Saturday we were tired and eager to get to our room. The receptionist strongly persuaded us to upgrade to a much more expensive room for $180 + tax so it would be quiet. He then proceeded to charge my card but forgot the tax so asked me to give him my credit card again so he could charge the sales tax. He also informed us upon arrival there is a $22/day resort fee but this was not stated anywhere on Kayak. Also as we were dealing with check in another guest came up to the desk and asked for ear plugs because the club music outside the hotel was too loud. And YES it was VERY LOUD. We were in a room that was pretty quiet for what it was but on Sunday night, by boyfriend WHO IS A DJ wasn't even able to fall asleep until 4 am because it was so loud! The room itself had a nice view but it had a lot of issues from lazy upkeep. The bed sheets had stains on them, the bench at the foot of the bed had weird sticky dirt marks from removed tape stains, the bathroom tub was worn down cracked and stained (didn't use it unfortunately because it looked so gross), and the shower floor was cracked. Using the TV was also a mess. The remote didn't work and no channel guide. We tried multiple times to dial the front desk from the hotel phone to have these addressed but the line would disconnect every time we hit the front desk or 0 button. Not sure if they don't want to hear from you, the line is inundated with calls, or something was wrong with the phone. The staff has not been trained to be friendly and welcoming to their guests. They view us as a bother and just want a fast interaction so they can quickly move on to the next opportunity to make money. The waiters/waitresses at the front of the hotel in the morning were more concerned with snagging passersby (as every other restaurant on that street) for business than greeting their current guests eating breakfast. I said good morning to a few of them and received very cold and snobby responses. They didn't make eye contact with me and didn't offer any interaction. So rude! One day I was using a computer in the lobby and a manager was severely scolding a server right there in the lobby for doing something that wasn't appropriate. She was very nasty and mean to him, and the one way scolding went on for literally 10 minutes. It was so unpleasant and uncomfortable to witness that as a guest. The employees should have a private area they use for this kind of thing, not out in the public lobby! This hotel is appropriate for frat boys/college aged kids that want to party hard, trash rooms, and recover on the beach afterwards without making much effort in getting there. We were paying over $300/night for this room and it's evident the Breakwater heavily relies on their location to make visitors happy and turn over business quickly, but does not put in any other effort. Definitely won't be staying here again. :(

Cons: The front desk staff was rude and gave us attitude when we complained. When my husband called at 1am in the morning to say the music is so loud that our floors are vibrating, all the receptionist offered was ear plugs... Seriously. The pictures online are really updated because the lobby and the pool area were really old and dirty. The roof deck was not even open, the only place to hangout was pretty much the restaurant which was super expensive. Definitely not staying here EVER AGAIN.

Cons: The unexpected upon arrival $40 resort fee was a bit much for a hotel with basically no amenities

Cons: I needed a double bed
