Old, refurbished hotel. The location is excellent with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Loved the chairs and towels at the beach. The resort fee is VERY high for what you get since you also have to pay for parking.

This is always my go to when I’m in Lauderdale by the Sea! It’s so convenient to the beach, the uptown area. Not commercial, small boutique type feel! I only gave 4 stars to the facility because the elevator wasn’t working . Otherwise, always a pleasure staying there!

This is our sixth time to the plunge and we absolutely love our little boutique hotel. Every time we arrive, we are greeted by the smiling face of Suzette And Cynthia. We enjoyed the pool with access to the beach and the short walk down to the main strip and Lauderdale by the sea. Patrick was very helpful this trip and we enjoyed Julie at the bar. She makes excellent drinks and the food is really good. With the VIP we got to check in and check out at 1 o’clock at No Charge, which is an excellent perk. Now they did

Such a cute beach hotel! The room was very large with a clean bathroom. Great view of the beach. The pool bar was a nice place to relax with a view of the ocean. Can’t wait to come back again.

Everyone at the hotel was very personable and wanted to help you. They had a very nice pool also beach bar. Had good food and wonderful waiters. They had a young girl who got you drinks or whatever you want it down at the beach, comfortable chairs and umbrellas. The breakfast was very nice. Can’t wait to go again next year.

Carlos, Miramar

We have stayed here before and like it fine. However, there a couple of things we noticed this time around: 1. Carpet in room felt constantly damp, and bathroom shower floor does not drain properly. 2. The parking fee is $20 per day, and not included in the resort fees. Ridiculous and expensive. 3. The breakfast menu lists capuccino coffee, but we were told we had to get it at the coffee shop ourselves. That makes no sense. If the restaurant won't get it for you, then take it off the menu. 4. Pool is now closing too early. 5. We asked for a fruit plate for one of the kids. It was not on the menu, and staff was nice enough to prepare one. However, the charge was $10 (!). Thank you, Carlos
