Great hotel in beautiful Lauderdale by the sea. Excellent location. Great beach and very good (simple) beach bar at the pool. Great staff especially at the beach to set you up with chairs etc. The $40 resort fee was a little much.

The location of this hotel is great. Beach was beautiful for walking, sunbathing and swimming. The resort fee provides two beach chairs, an umbrella and towels as well. This was a nice touch. Property itself is older but is renovated and clean. Rooms were quiet and comfortable. Would recommend.
