We didn't know what to expect for a last minute booking to celebrate my birthday, but had read the great reviews of the Breakers Hotel, so we figured we would be pleased. Well...not totally. At check in we had requested an oceanview room on a high floor. When my fiancé' checked in, she was told we were on the third floor - the first level of rooms - not high at all! When she asked for a higher floor, she was told, there were no rooms on higher floors available and came to get me with the bags and the key to the 3rd floor room. We went up to the room, and found it to be so low that all you could see off the balcony were buildings. If you leaned way over the balcony you could see a small piece of the beach. Be warned! This is considered oceanview! Not the view I expected so I insisted we go back to the clerk and ask for another room. Miraculously, a room on a higher floor was found! So after looking at the room on the 5th floor, we changed rooms. Although, we still had to look over the balcony to see the ocean, it was a better view of the ocean. However, either way, you have to lean over the balcony to see the oceanview. You can also see part of the bay.

After our first night, the hotel's hot water wasn't working throughout the hotel. We were told this was the first time that had ever happened and it was repaired by the following morning. The cold shower the first morning was not pleasant! BRRRR!

The front desk workers were pleasant and apologetic for the problems we encountered. The room was clean, the air conditioner is self regulated (which is always a plus), and the room contains both a refrigerator and a microwave. We had to call the front desk twice, however- once, because housekeeping did not clean the tub, and second because there was no hotel information book in the room. Housekeeping came back immediately to take care of the matter and someone from the check-in desk came upstairs to bring us the book.

Now to the good part...EXCELLENT location right on the board walk. A few doors down from Thrashers and 4 -5 blocks from the amusement park, you couldn't ask for a better location.

Although we had a good, but not great couple of days, we would not stay here again. There are better hotels with more of an oceanview and comparable prices.

I was very happy with my stay at The Breakers. My husband and I booked the hotel last minute. Many of the hotels were booked. We payed a little more than we wanted to, but we were willing to pay more to get a clean hotel. We were very pleased. The decor was modern, the staff was very nice and friendly, the rooms were very clean, and the location was great. The Breakers is located right on the boardwalk. We had no problem finding a parking spot in their lot even though we checked in pretty late. They are big on security there. You need your room key to access the floors where your room is located and you have to call to be let in between the hours of 2-6 AM and they are very strict about guests. This is a good thing for some, but bad thing for others. Our only complaint is that we had trouble figuring out where we needed to go to check in as the front door is not very well marked. The other thing is make sure you are checked out by 11:00 because the room keys stop working at exactly 11:00 AM. However, I would definitely recommend this hotel!

This is our second time staying here and had another GREAT experience. Beautifully maintained hotel with all the amenities you could ask for. he beds are so comfortable and the linens are beautiful. The staff is wonderful. It is so clean. Will never stay any where else.

I must admit this was our 5th visit over the past 5 years, each for a weeks’ time. The staff is unbelievable (if I could wrap them up and take them home I would). They know the area, the best alternatives and are as helpful as you want them to be. They truly help make the stay enjoyable. The facility is clean as a whistle. The cleaning staff is excellent.
The rooms are large and those that overlook the ocean make the vacation. Please trust me, you cannot go wrong selecting this hotel. We will be back next year for our next summer vacation
