I wish I had a picture. I stayed at the Breakers once as well. I loved their staff and grounds, but our room was a little musty smelling (I guess that's fairly common in a tropical climate) and after we saw the tikis on the grounds of the Hawaiiana hotel down the street we switched to that hotel. But I would still recommend the Breakers for the old-style atmosphere and staff. And I love their beachbum logo, which used to be on the sign on the front of the hotel. This hotel, along with the Hawaiiana Hotel in Waikiki, and Uncle Billy's Hilo Bay hotel in Hilo, are probably the last of the small older hotels in Hawaii with some original decor left.
