Cottage, not Castle
The woman at the front desk was super helpful but our room was so tiny. It was hard to get around the bed, no hot water and no counter space in the bathroom. The location was great and the pool was nice and heated.

Nice little place on busy road
Nice place, decent rooms and made reasonable accommodations to our needs coming in late and switching rooms mid-trip. The heated outdoor pool was nice, very warm at first but we were able to adjust that easily enough.
Rooms were clean, mattresses were a bit thin, not super comfortable, but sufficient.

This was our second visit and we will always return here whenever we visit Lauderdale-by-the-sea. The manager is wonderful and helpful. The location is walking distance to anything you may need and the beach is right around the corner. It’s so hard to have to leave…
