"Up with family for the annual Labor Day Bridge walk and had an excellent time. Our stay at the Breakers was all we could ask for and would return again. Every staff member we encountered was quick to help and pleasant to work with. We had 1 meal at the restaurant which was very good and the bar was also excellent for a cocktail at the end of the evening. Breakfast in the AM was above average in my opinion and they even opened early on Labor Day for us doing the bridge walk. The Breakers also offered a round trip shuttle ($20 well worth it) to the bridge for the walk and I would highly recommend. They were very organized and timely. The property is older but very well kept up. Only minor issue and not a problem with me was I couldn't take our luggage cart to our room due to steps. The end rooms have a 1/2 flight of stairs to access. Will be back in the future"

"The place is beautiful and well maintained. There is not much insulation between walls and floors… you hear every thing! Our biggest complaint was when they lit the fire pits at night. The whole grounds were smoky! We ended up going inside because it was so strong and we smelled like smoke! Both of us had to shower that night before bed because we smelled of smoke. Maybe using lava rocks and gas to create the same environment would be more enjoyable for everyone. We would have loved to have stayed out and enjoyed the evening on the lawn, but it was cut short because of the smoke."

8/10 Good
"The best part is the beach view and location along with the staff. Customer service was excellent; Tony was very helpful and everyone was welcoming. Our room space was perfect for four people: two adults and two kids. The fireplace right in front of the beach was a hit. I love the coffee; you can tell it was premium. I didn’t give a 5-star rating because the cleaning service could be better. But we will definitely be back to this hotel. Thank you for your hospitality excellent customer service 💖"
