The NICEST things about this location was the staff (Nicky) and the poolside soda vending machine. The pool was unkempt with stuff floating in it. The room was small, and the bathroom was even smaller. Could barely open the bathroom door without hitting the bed. The internet was spotty, at best. One lamp in the room was taped together and not working. The towels (multi-colored beach towels) and washcloths were not the cleanest (thankfully, we brought our own). For a room freshener, they attached a Febreeze car freshener to the air conditioner (the TACKIEST thing I've EVER seen in all my travels). The outside is rusted and worn down. If they didn't already take our money with NO REFUNDS, we would've left. I do NOT recommend this location AT ALL.

Don't go there. Went to check in and the office was closed. Finally found the office person and checked in. She left and never came back. TV was not working. The bedside lamp didn't work and was taped with blue tape. No ice machine on the property Could not get extra pillows because no one was in the office. There were hardly any outlets in the room. Had to unplug the microwave and frig to plug in the coffee pot. Offic was closed at check out.

Our room was clean, the property was well kept. This is my third time here at the hotel motel Lauderdale in. The mother and daughter that work here are beyond amazing! There’s a nice sitting area on the roof, warm pool AND you’re literally across the street from the beach!

The room was very clean and tiny, the shower was good and the AC was noisy. Clientele for the site was shady at best. Access to the gloriuos beach was exceptional. The dining for the area was top notch. The bed was too small for the frame and very uncomfortable.

. The room was horrid! It had mold, things broken, paint peeling, a deformed mattress on the bed, no light working except in the bathroom, etc. We just half-closed our eyes to it all and went to bed. The condition of that room should have disqualified the motel from being in business. I think people who wrote good reviews of this motel were blind or else drugged when they wrote them.

This is an old hotel tucked in amongst all the extremely nice hotels along the main beach road. It does the job. All we needed was a place to crash for the night. Nothing special. Would we stay here again? Yes.

Literally nothing about this stay was positive. I recieved multiple messaged from Expedia asking me to submit my license and it wouldn't work. No one was available when we arrived and the woman gave us a key pad code on arrival. The room was a large open window to the pool area and I was honestly concerned for our safety. I am requesting a refund from expedia. DON'T DO IT.

Pool was full of leaves, very little seating outside.
We were allocated 2 poolside rooms, 5 and 9 ?. Both were in need of at upgrade, the rooms had full lenght window looking out to pool giving no privacy, the doors had combination locks which were temperamental and we felt were not secure.
Safety was a big concern.
The bedding was well used, especially the pillows, one room had a punch hole in the headboard, beds were far below average, shower was old and worn out, hairs found in one of the beds.
We did not stay and found accommodation elsewhere.
I felt the website and photos very misleading.
No one was at reception when we arrived, nice lady showed us to the rooms but motel definitely not worth the money they wanted

Our flight was delayed several hours. There is not a real person there to answer calls and no one at the front desk. We couldn't check into our room because the policy is to email the property with your ID for a code to check in but no email was ever provided. We had to find accommodations elsewhere and were still charged. Horrible management.

Room was very dirty (you could see the room had never been cleaned more than a sweep/mop), no fence around pool and no locks on door that are child proof (just a lock on the keypad thing which is very easy to open, but no additional locks higher up on the door for example), no room service, very tight bathroom. Overall it’s a very cheap place and it shows. The beds are uncomfortable. You do get what you pay for… but I wouldn’t stay here again. Especially because I was worried that my toddler would get out and fall in the pool right outside our door.

Keep in mind this is a budget hotel, no frills. The room was plain, small bathroom, decent condition. Unfortunately there was no heat, only cooling. Being in Florida this is not generally a problem, but I went on the coldest weekend, lows in 30s and 40s, and the room was very cold in the morning. It was okay as I just needed a place to sleep. I arrived early and no one was at the office until 3pm wheich is check-in time.. the staff was nice.

We were appalled at the state of the room. I was not expecting a great modern room since the price was cheaper, but cleanliness should be a standard for hotels. The rooms were very gross and needed a good thorough cleaning. We had a hard time staying but had already paid. I barely slept and was so worried there were bed bugs (does not appear there were any thank goodness!)
The staff were all super friendly though, our lock stopped working and they came right away to help us. Multiple people staying there saw us waiting for help and said the same thing happened with their lock…

Kerug of coffee, microwave and fridge.
