I was really excited to stay on South Beach and enjoy Ocean Drive, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. There were no trash cans in my room or bathroom, and when I asked the front desk twice for one, I was told to just throw my trash on the floor—that's not what I expected. I also requested a washcloth, but it was not provided. To make matters worse, I was in room 101, which is beside the kitchen. The loud music and constant dishwashing kept me awake throughout the night. Additionally, when I took a shower, there was no hot water; it was incredibly cold. Overall, I had high hopes but left feeling let down by the lack of basic amenities and comfort.

They refused to allow us to check in because the room was double booked. They also said that they have a no refund policy. They said that we would have to call Hotels.com to dispute the transaction. Money hungry, horrible, terrible service. In the hundreds of hotel stays, Ive never been through this. Do NOT book this place.

Our stay at Hotel Breaker in Miami was very disappointing, especially given the price and expectations. Multiple rooms in our group had non-working TVs, which the hotel was aware of but did not resolve. This made downtime in the room frustrating and inconvenient. Additionally, there was no ice available on any of the floors during our stay. Guests were forced to go searching or go without—something that should be a basic hotel amenity. To make matters worse, the hotel has a strict policy of only two coffee pods per room per day, regardless of the number of guests or length of stay. When we asked for additional pods, we were told we’d have to pay extra, which felt extremely cheap and unfriendly. Overall, the lack of functioning amenities and rigid, penny-pinching policies made this stay uncomfortable and not worth the cost. I would not recommend this hotel and will not be staying here again.

This place is a dump of a hotel in a great location. The owner should be ashamed at the neglect. As i stood at the front desk, after checking into a room with a terrible leak in the ceiling, trying to get a non flooded, non moldy room,.... there we 6 other people/ rooms there with problems that ranged from wet mattresses to tvs that didn't work.... which we found out there was no cable connection for the whole hotel. The rooms are neglected, the staff illprepared and under trained...do not stay here!
Painted over ceiling sprinkler
Black mold around bathroom sink
Another painted over ceiling sprinkler....almost looked like it was spackled. How do they pass fire inspections?
All the nasty scunge around our bathroom sink.
