Lauderdale Beachside Hotel - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

My experience here was not a good one. Not only were the rooms dirty. The microwave didn't work. The tv kept shutting off. The closet door was broke. The mattress was filthy and stained. The sheets had sand in them when we got there. We found someone's wallet in the room. The first night there was a drinking party right outside of room from the people […] staying next to us. We woke up to beer bottles everywhere and vomit all over our outdoor furniture. We couldn't even let the children outside to play because if this. It only took the staff 2 hours to come clean it up. But they didn't do it very well. When talking to one of the staff members about the vomit in the sand, he replied, the birds will clean that up. How nasty!!! The first day we stayed the toilet was not working correctly at all. when the second guy came to look at it...he was rude!!! He asked what I put in the toilet and kept plunging. Water was all over the seat and floor... He just walked out and said nothing. Left his mess there for us to clean up. When telling the front desk of this....they did nothing. No apologies or anything. Not a place to have a family vacation. But if you want a dirty nasty party place. This is the place to go. Read more

This hotel is a complete fail house. There were holes in the wall, mold on the ceiling, no lid on the back of the toilet, a broken security bar on the door, and significant stains on the sheets of the mattress. On top of this there was no working lock on the 'lobby' door, which meant that anyone could come or go from the building. Now I like a dive […] motel, and have stayed at a lot of those such places, but this by far has to be the worst I've ever been to. Additionally, we were going to a conference that weekend, and this was an 11pm check in for us. The staff was rude, and seemed to be upset that we were bothering them at all. Then the next day the lobby guest staff was calling guests to give them complimentry gifts for staying that day, yet when I asked if we could get one of the cheap little coupon books for having stayed, I was told that it was only for people staying at the 'resort' overnight, despite having paid for a full night already. The only redeeming quality was the fact that this place was right on the beach. Even the bar was closed in the mid afternoon when we were there. I wouldn't stay there again if you paid me. Read more

not impressed at all

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel has a lot of potential, but is the housekeeping does not do their job (my room was dirty and smelly). The hotel also need some UPDATED MATRESSES. Old, deteriorated matreses, as well as the sheets. MANAGEMENT, PLEASE DO YOUR JOB!! This hotel has a GREAT LOCATION AND BIG ROOMS why would you let such small things chase away your clientele.

You get what you paid for.Good location, by the beach.

We are never staying there again!!!!!!

The customer service was great she was very very helpful, the bath room can be updated , I would Go back because of the customer service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hallways were filled with a heavy smell of bleach. The door was in such a bad shape that closing and locking was always a hassle. Stayed there for a night, but did not sleep well, because of loud voices in the hallway and constant door slamming until 6:00am! The only good thing was the proximity to the beach.

When we walked into the room, we noticed that two of the pillow cases hadn't been changed after the previous hotel guest left. We called housekeeping and they sent someone with clean pillow cases and just handled it to us, instead of changing them. Then we noticed that the bed sheets were full of holes, but didn't bother to call back, because they would […] have probably handled us another one and we didn't feel like having to change the bed sheets ourselves. During the three days we stayed there, not once they came to our room to clean it. They just put a bag with clean towels and some toiletry in the door nob and left it there. The room had a big hole in the wall, covered with a piece of paper and painted over. You could see many cracks in the wall. The only thing this hotel has is location, other than that, if you are looking for comfort, or cleanliness go somewhere else. Read more

We left the hotel before staying overnight. The pool was dirty, the advertised poolside bar was closed down, there were no wash cloths or small towels in the restroom. All in all, not what I have come to expect from hotels.com properties.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I wasn't expecting much from this hotel considering I booked it the same day. Theyneed to seriously consider updating their rooms. Not to increase the price, but so the customer can have comfort that their room is clean and fresh. This should be especially important because of the bed bugs outbreak sweeping vacation cities.

your in college, you want a great location on the beach close to nightlife, a place to drink, sun and sleep...this is a great place...but if your on business and think your going to find a nice quiet location to take a nap, get some rest and get some work done....forget it

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location, location, location - couldn't ask for a better location. Room was adequate, but we were right on the beach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I suppose for the cost it wasn't that bad. However you might be better off renting an apartment for the same price which is what we ended up doing. We stayed during march so of course there were loud and drunk teenagers playing terrible music by the pool; the walls were paper thin and you could hear them, and someone's dog the entire night. As far as […] the room goes it was alright, there was some loose carpeting which I tripped on. Also the shower drain was covered in rust and looked very dirty. The cleaning arrives early, since we were still sleeping I told the women we didn't need her service and gave her our dirty towels, she said she would come back with clean ones but never did. On anther occasion there was no knock and the cleaning woman opened our door completely while we were still sleeping. We stayed for only a short time but aside from the location it wasn't all that great. Read more

Not all the rooms of this property have balconies, only the backside of both buildings. The restaurant on the picture is gone and vacant. The poolside bar and grill is also closed down, and the general overall condition of the property is run down and in need of remodeling.

It was under partial renovation but stay was excellent. Surrounding area was perfect with supermarkets bars restaurants at a walking distance.

Everything about the place was great except that their were no towels in the room and the batteries in the remote died. When we went to ask the front desk they said they couldn't get the batteries because the maintenance guy had just left for the night.

could use better towels and cleaner bed spreads, little maintenance in the bathroom, but the view was fantastic.

I stayed here for one night and couldn't wait to leave. I was charged $10 for an early check in fee which was only an hour or so early. Get to the room and its really shabby and in bad shape. Bathroom towels were old and dirty looking. Bed was very bad. Tv. has hardly any channels. Location is in crowded part of the beach so driving is a headache. No […] upsides to staying at this hotel. Parking is free. Read more

The only thing going for this hotel was location. It was one short block to the beach. The room had a completely rusty refrigerator with broken shelves, big holes in the bedroom and the ceiling of the bathroom moldy shower, well-worn carpet, etc. The breakfast room was very dark (probably to hide the condition of this space) and offered almost nothing […] to eat. We left without eating anything and were happy to leave. Even the elevator was covered with graffiti and had a big gap when the door closed, not covering all of the elevator shaft. This room was dreadful and should be condemmed. Read more

We booked a beachfront room. Upon arrival, we were told beachfront was sold out. Another clerk pointed out a room beachside that was available and when we got to the room, we found a present in the toilet. My husband attempted to flush it and the toilet would not flush. Called front desk, asked for another room. Once we arrived at the front desk, they […] offered for the maintenance man to look at the toilet. Obviously the bathroom had not been cleaned or someone may have noticed the toilet. So we took a room on the first floor of the main building. No remote for tv, no towels, and most of the furniture was beat up and falling apart. The exterior doors leading outside never lock (so security is nil). The shower was also a mess, within 2 minutes of my shower I was standing in murky water up to my ankles. Both buildings are in bad condition as were both rooms we saw, plus the lobby. I would not stay here again, regardless of the beach access. Read more

Its not a hotel I would reccommend unless you really can't afford anything else. Its run down, the tv was broken, theres no phone in the rooms, and my bathroom wasn't completely clean and the towels and bed linens are way too old and need serious refreshing.

The lobby of hotel has no roof:... Continental breakfast was gross ... Dont get me started on the room... Didnt even shower during My stay cuz it was sooo gross! Save your money!

This place is falling apart at the seams. The lobby has a leaking ceiling with a trashcan underneath it and the room had no towels when we checked in. The shower curtain was broken so the floor got all wet and gave you no room in the shower. The pool is dreadful and I couldn't find 1 lawn chair that wasn't broken. So gross. The only good thing - the […] rooms are decent size. Read more

Thought that this would be a great rate and location. I was wrong. The actual "ocean view" is considered an "upgrade" and is a completely different building. The staff was not friendly at all, the building is poorly maintained, the bathrooms had rust in the tub, and all of the metal fixtures. Basically, do not stay here unless absolutely have to. I […] would not recommend this hotel to any of my family/friends, and I will likely never stay here again. Read more

This is an older building in a great location. The rooms were modest but clean..however many amenities were missing. I've become accustomed to coffee makers and plenty of towels in all but the most Spartan of hotels. But these things were missing along with a modern television. I did not appreciate the strong arm pitch for vacation packages .

Very comfortable one night stay. Very quiet area, direct access to beach. I had a nice terrace facing the pool and beach. Very nice breakfast with fresh fruit. The bed was comfortable. I slept like a baby after a late night flight. Conveniece of nearby shopping and friendly front desk staff.

I stayed on the Beach Front side of the hotel, and had an awesome view of the beach! The location was 10 min walking distance to the Pier and bars, and restaurants. The hotel bathroom shower didn't work great, and they took their time with bringing the towels, but overall they had friendly staff. Definitely a great spot to get some time in the sun, […] and enjoy a great ocean view. Read more

There was mildew on shower curtain and tub. Room need a dusting. No towels in the room. Notes from manager were about things you were not allowed to do.

This hotel is beyond repair and should be put out of its misery - blow it up! On top of everything else, I was about 45 minutes early for 3:00 check in and the desk clunk offered me the room early for an extra $10. What nerve. Association with this dump gives Expedia no credit!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was the worst hotel ever. The only reason that I did not leave was that it was New Year's Eve and no other hotels had rooms available. The lobby has open and dirty ceiling tiles with wiring and plumbing exposed. After the third room that I was offered I finally cleaned the bathroom myself! The first room actually had an empty beer can left behind […] by housekeeping. Both days that we were there was a fight to get clean towels. They had no clue at the front desk what was happenening with housekeeping and housekeeping had no supplies or linens for the guests. There are hazardous materials signs posted on the exterior doors of rooms at this hotel. The staff is clueless!!! Read more

I would never stay there again even tho the location is OK. Dirty, torn linen, no blanket, they advised me to cover up with the bedspread, hard like a rock pillows. Filthy bath tub, broken shower head. Floor is filthy and sticky. Called, complained with no results. Couldn't cancel, had to stay 3 nights.
