Miami Beach hotels near Lummus Park

the room was fairly clean and the cleaning crew was helpful. 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.

The only thing I liked about this hotel was the location. It's across the street from the beach. On Kayak this looks like a beautiful luxury hotel, but quickly upon arriving you realize it only looks like that from a distance and they have an amazing photographer for their site photos. 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. :(

There was a dance club to the rear of the hotel that played loud (deep bass) music until 4 AM. The sound of the bass resonated throughout the hotel room and woke us up. We needed to use ear plugs in order to go back to sleep.

Close proximity to South Beach Could do with A/C in foyer/check in

Location Room disappointing, bed small, bathroom cracked tiles, poor shower, telephone did not operate. Rate expensive

Position in the Art Deco area Parking is a problem at night - especially on weekends. Thousands of people come to Miami South beach so you may cruise a lot for a space (including public garages).

Location of the hotel is brilliant, bang in the middle of SoBe, the deco and names of the rooms are brilliant and innovative, love the fact that they leave next day's weather prediction and choclates on your pillow every evening Rooms are small

Excellent location. If you want to be in the middle of the action this is a great location Rooms could use some updating. Most of the street noise was filtered out but there was more guest noise than I would have expected. Décor is definitely eclectic. They had incense in the hallways which was very strong - gave us both headaches.

Close to the ocean The wireless network access did not work

the location is excellent, it is across the street from the beach. The front desk staff was very helpful. I had a room with a king bed and I had very little space to move around the bed. The room is extremely small. Valet parkin is very slow. You have to call for your car at least 30mins in advance.

Nothing. Dirty, broken down, non-existent staff assistance, tiny rooms.

The location was very good. Right next to the beach, clubs and shopping areas. The people next door have been way too loud that I had to call the reception at 2am. Since "the party" didn´t stop I had to call again at 3am. I think it´s still should be like a hotel and not like a hostel where all the teens can party all night long when other ones need to sleep.

The location was close to places to eat. Older building, paper thin walls, bed very uncomfortable.

The beachwalk. Loud restaurant and bar at the entrance. Other things that didn't work: elevator (with expired certificate), remote control for tv, two light bulbs that never were replaced during stay, battery for smoke detector and mattresses that were of sub-IKEA quality.

Location is perfect!

It was very central close to the beach and activities. Right in the heart of the Art Deco District. It was very noisy. You could hear every door close and not sound proof at all.

Very nice location close to all the action and the beach, clubs, good food. hotel has paper thin walls, we could hear everything, doors shutting close, everyone who walk in the hall way, all the noise seemed like it was inside the room, the bathroom was old and durty we actually bought a bottle of bleach spray to clean it, Ive have stayed in other hotels on the same location and never had that problem. but if you are looking not to ever sleep, and to be close to all the action is perfect.
