the Breakers was a very well run hotel with an outstanding location. It is right on the beach and only a few blocks from "Broadway on the Boardwalk". The room was clean and the veiw exceptional. The only negative was the balcony. the railing bars were a little too wide spaced making it a potential hazard for families with small children (we kept the sliding glass door locked as our 4 year old could easily fit between the bars of the railing and we were on the 19th floor) We don't get down this way very often, but we would definately stay again
Nice Property, Great Location

Spent 4 nights at the North Tower. This is a very nice vacation property, clean and reasonably well appointed. The beach views are great and there is complimentary parking across the street in the parking deck. The property is centrally located, with restaurants, golf, shopping and attractions nearby.
We booked a 2-room suite w/kitchen, which was a very nice room. We had a bit of an unplesant surpirse upon arriving at the room, though. Beware room number 60 on any floor - there is a 4' diameter ventilation fan located less than 15 feet from the door to this room. The resulting vibration makes you think you're still flying into Myrtle Beach in a turboprop!. Luckily the hotel wasn't terribly crowded and we were able to move to another room away from this annoyance and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
As with most vacation properties these days they slide a 'resort fee' onto your bill after the room rate and taxes. While the fee is less than $6/day it comes as a bit of a surprise upon checkout. It's not enough to spoil a trip, but it does add up and isn't disclosed when you make your reservation :(
Very pleasant experience

i just returned home after a four day stay. Even though the deal was $ per day which cannot be beat, everything was first rate. the staff showed true southern hospitallity. the room was located in the Palmetto building. its not their newest building but very modern flat screen tv.. the room was immaculate.and oceanview, the cleaning staff had the room done while we had breakfast at the buffet at their Papas resturant across the street. the buffet with tax was $7.90 for a very nice buffet in a very nice place. they make your eggs to order and anything else in the way of breakfast fare is on the buffet. the beach was beautiful. and wider than north myrtle beach. even at high tide they still had 150 foot wide beach where as some of the north myrtle beach spots . water covers the beach compleatly at high tide.there were 2 large indoor garages. and parking was very conveniant. there are many pools and a lazy river. It is located less than 3 miles from Broadway at the Beach which is the big area of attractiions. the airport was five minutes by car.the vending machines on the floor sold a 20 oz coke or snacks for 1 dollar which was a little cheaper than most, although the vending macines at the pool wer $1.25. The area is more congested than north myrtle beach but for me that was a plus. if i want solitude i stay home.
PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!

We booked a one room with two queen size beds at The Breakers, oceanfront. The price started out at ***.** and ended up being $***.** after additional fees were tacked on. We could have booked two rooms else where for this price! Our room was ready for check in early, which was nice. However after bringing our luggage up to the second floor of the Seaside tower we discovered our keys were not working. I went back down and they were fixed. Once we got into the room we noticed that our beds were not queens but doubles, which is a 6 inch difference which may not seem like a lot but trust me it is! My husband went down to speak to the manger who said "the room is large so the queen size bed looks smaller", however she would send up someone to look. Let me also mention here that the room was not large, in fact it was rather small compared to other places I have stayed. Nobody ever did come up to look, I called down and was told the manager would call us. I ended up calling again and finally spoke with her. She said they were queen but since we were unhappy she would put us in a Condo for an addition $15. We looked but it was still double beds. We declined her offer. She would do nothing more to make us happy. Later we went down to the pools. Most were dirty. There were towels and trash laying about all over. In fact nothing about the place impressed me for the price we paid to stay one night! Also our oceanfront room was blocked by palm trees, another waste. I would never waste my money here again.
