Good hotel to stay. 3 line of the beach. Recommend

Noise from the street not heard. 3 line of the beach. There is no boardwalk on the beach thus it's a quiet piece of the beach. So, hotel is conveniently located. 20 min to FLL. Room is roomy for this price. No problems with staff or amenities. Recommend.

Perfect Anniversary

The reviews I have read about Away Inn are accurate. Ifound my new family. The owner?/supervisor was the real reason she treated us like family even made us Thanksgiving dinner for everyone staying there. Delicious it was. Plus it was a truly international experience so many guests were from other parts of the world & never experienced Thanksgiving. Our room was very large separate kitchen with all the utencils& pans you need,bedroom,living room good size & ceiling fans in both also air conditioning worked well, & the shower worked very well, good hot water which was very nice. The bed is a little hard but we got used to it. Very clean everywhere. Heated pool wonderful, a little library with a table & chairs, laundramat,toys for the kids to play with by the pool even a little kitchen. Also chairs,coolers,fishing rods for the beach plus beach towels & umbrellas. The beach,restaurants & grocery store were less than a 5 min. walk,we hardly used the car.I really enjoyed staying in the safe town of Lauderdale by the Sea, it was small & quaint with very nice people living there. Thank you Away Inn it was so wonderful staying with you for our 30th wedding anniversary & Thanksgiving. I wish I could come every year. One last thing great value for your money.

Comfortable Boutique Hotel

The woman at the front desk was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The room was perfect for our stay. Fully supplied kitchenette (dishes, cookware, utensils, etc) and bathroom with all toiletries. Gas grill on site for guests to use. We only stayed one night so we didn't get to go to the beach or use the pool and hotel offers free use of beach chairs and coolers! Location is great and easy to find plus there is a food store and mini strip mall across the street while the beach is just across (1 block) the main road (A1A). Nice little place for a get-away. We would stay there again.

Beautiful and convenient

We needed to stay in FLL for one night after a cruise for a flight the next day.. I found this hotel on Expedia , and it looked descent & reasonably priced.. First, the area is amazing .. I'd never heard of "Lauderdale by the Sea"... great resteraunts and shops. Second, the hotel clerk was so kind and accommodating .. she let us check in early, loaned us her personal beach umbrella (all the hotels were being used), and was just a pleasure.. Lastly, our room was clean & well kept, the beds were super comfortable , the mini kitchen had a mini fridge, microwave , stove top, coffee pot and dishes! The pictures do not do this place justice.. I'd stay again if ever in the area..
