This is our favorite place in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. The location is great with the ocean out your window and a short walk to all the restaurants and shops. The room was perfect, the property is very clean and well maintained too. But it’s the staff that keeps us coming back. They are professional and very kind.

Staff was excellent and room was clean and large. Amazing location on the beach with a nice outdoor area. I didn’t have to pay an additional fee for parking which was great since the hotel I stayed at previously was over $50 for parking. My only complaint was the bed seemed old and needed replaced.
