After four previous Fort Lauderdale trips for beach swims and nice restaurants, Sea Spray Inn will be my permanent hotel for so many reasons - friendly staff, beautiful pool areas, rooms cleaner and updated better than any Hilton or Marriott, perfect location to walk 70 yards and be in the ocean, no traffic noise, etc. Cindy at the front desk is so nice and gives you the local scene lowdown.

Had the most wonderful time with the place being near the beach and dining options. There was no need to ever use the car with the hotel's proximity. They were renovating the pool when there, which was a negligible inconvenience that did not detract from the experience. That just means they will be better when I return.
