Stay away from this place! I booked it as it looked like a beautiful place. We arrived at check in and had two large suitcases. The staff behind the counter says do you have a lot of luggage and we reply yes. She goes ahead and puts us in the other building where we had to walk up four flights of stairs with all of our luggage and no elevator! So rude. The room was very plain and not even a tv or phone. We had to go all the way down and to the other building with all of our luggage and they didn’t even help. One good amenity was the beautiful gym.

Not a luxury hotel. Dirty, stained sofa in the room. Seen much better in Holiday Inn, Hilton & Hampton Inn. Disappointed to find beach right outside was nothing but rocks. I feel deceived by the term "Luxury". But the staff was nice. They just need to upgrade the rooms.

Would’ve been happy to find out, but there was no one there to check us in waited for over two hours trying to get a hold of somebody using the main number called Expedia. They tried as well. Very sad experience had to leave and go find another hotel at 9 o’clock at night.

Bed was comfortable but not a 5 star comfortable. Room was clean but smaller than it appeared in the picture. It also was on the third floor with no elevator access. That was not a problem for us but I can see it being an issue for other seniors

The room was shabby- desperately in need of a deep clean and renovation. Stained lampshade, carpet stains, horrible old tile floor in the bathroom. The bar/restaurant was closed ( this was not communicated until we tried to go there). Where was the free breakfast? Closed for the season ☹️

Such a quaint and pretty facility within walking distance to downtown and historic sites. There was no elevator in the section of the hotel we stayed in so it was two narrow flights of stairs each time we came and went. Some halls, walls and carpets were quite soiled, but our room was good. Staff was always helpful and kind.

Amazing location, views and amenities. Mabel's, just across the street, is incredibly delicious. Great shopping on site, and convenient to the bustling waterfront village. We got a little aggravated over the night clerk not being able to access the beverage/snack station due to apparently not having a key, but overall a phenomenal experience.

Hotels.com charged much more than the going room rate, almost $100 more! Hotel was very nice but I’ll definitely be more cautious using this site again!

The staff were very friendly especially the young lady working in the bar. The in is about a mile out of town so dining options were limited unless one is happy to drive out. The walk into town is no problem ( for us) through the day but a bit far on an unlit road. The room was very small however that was only an issue as we took all of our cases up ) 2 large one hand luggage).

Dirty, rude staff, outdated hotels. We were in the building away from the office and there was no staff present the entire time we were there. A dead roach was by the staircase leading to the rooms for the 3 days we stayed. Not worth the price, definitely not how they advertise themselves.

The beauty of visiting this site off season is getting to book an amazing room with a deck view allowing you to enjoy the spectacular view of the river and beach cove. This was our first visit to Breakwater Inn and spa. There are many positives to our stay. 1. Simple and easy desk check in. (Old school keys for your door) 2. Great restaurant across the street Mabel’s 3. Clean surroundings with easy access to parking. 3. Room was clean and elegantly decorated in nautical colors/ decor. However , a few things which were mentioned in previous review posts should be considered before booking. Definitely do some research on room cost. I definitely paid too much money per night for a hotel which can do with updating to modern hotel cost. Updates to start with, please remove the dirty stain carpet with hard wood floors leading to the rooms near the restaurant. Dirty carpet cost you an excellent 5 star review. Update the doors lock and bathrooms. Give the deck some new paint and power wash or new deck. And do something about the paper thin walls or fix the beds. If traveling to Breakwaters Inn and Spa off season and off days, you may miss the opportunity to enjoy the restaurant attached to the Inn and the Spa service days are selective. Overall, Breakwater Inn and Spa, was definitely a good place to getaway from the busy city life. If you looking for a place close to water with a great view quiet, safe and approximate location to other fun destinations.
