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.
