Sea Beach Plaza - Fort Lauderdale 26.10867, -80.10802

The Hotel was clean, however the doors of the room did not lock correctly and it is going through some renovation. Just cosmetics nothing structural. Friendly and close to the Ocean. I would only reccomend if it only a one night stay.

Nothing nice by any means but it defiantly does the trick. It was across the street from the beautiful beach, and the staff was very nice and helpful. There were restaurants close and one within walking distance. The room itself was nothing special, but the bed was comfy and it had a apartment sized fridge in the kitchenette area and a microwave. We were staying there for one night and had a flight the next morning. It was about 15 minutes away from the airport. It worked for our needs but I don't know if I would have stayed there for any longer than a few nights.

This hotel was gross. It had bugs and lizards in the room. There were individuals who stayed at the hotel as permanent residents. I felt dirty and tired after leaving this establishment.

I spent a couple of nights there and never got the room service and my bed never was changed and or spreaded. There was a liquing pipe in the bathroom. The rest of the place is ok, beds are very confortable aand the people encharged is kind.

No Frills, but worth the rate. Large room with small kitchenette. Conveniently located close to the beach. Considering your at the beach all day and just need a place to put your head down at night, this place is it!

My 5 year old walked into the room and said "this is the worst hotel ever"! She immediately went into the bathroom and used it, only to find no toilet paper...anywhere. Nothing on the roll or under the sink....My husband went in search of toilet paper, and came back with one roll, which was given to him at the office with the comment "sorry, our room cleaning staff is not very good". While I could go on for days about the horrible condition of this room, I think that little scenerio is telling enough!

Although I was scared with reviews, found my room very clean and comfortable. Staff is super nice

The location of this hotel is great. just a walking distance from ft lauderdale beach and all the shops and bars. Parking is a bit of a problem so unless u plan to leave the car at the hotel, dont expect to find a parking space at night. The utensils in the room were filthy and the a/c vent was broken so it practically was blowing on the floor. Basically this is a hotel to sleep in and nothing more.

This hotel wasn't what i saw on the pics. It was old, closets were broken, felt more like a motel than a hotel. I will not be staying on that hotel again.

I checked in and the smell of mold in room 113 had to be beyond Hazmat approved levels - the Air Conditioner worked, but the directional vent was broken, and only hung inside the unit by shear luck. Some brilliant 'Handy Andy' decided to use styrofoam and painters tape to close the gap between the AC sleeve and the AC unit - nice touch. There was a hole in the plaster ceiling, and instead of patching it with Durabond, he/she decided that clear packing tape would do the trick - another nice touch. The blinds need to be replaced because they are too long and were falling out of the tracks. The vanity was so full of black mold inside that the Broward County Health Dept. would for sure have a field day with this place. Basically, the room needs to first be be condemned, then gutted and redone before anyone else is allowed to go inside. I cannot believe they (the owners) actually rent this room out, nor do I believe anyone would stay in it, and sure as the sun rises, I saw someone going in and out of there and thought to myself, hmmm, can they NOT smell the mold?? I would almost sleep anywhere, but room 113 was like something out of a Steven King novel. The staff was VERY nice - they moved me to room 312 after I brought them inside the room - Room 312, which was much larger and obviously completely redone, had an incredibly comfortable bed, and the AC unit was BRAND NEW complete with a THERMOSTAT!! What a concept. The room was clean, had great water pressure, and never went cold like other hotels - in fact, the water was so hot I was amazed - but like room 113, the blinds were too long and would get stuck on the window sill and you would have to adjust them to get total privacy and keep the light out - whomever installed them didn't trim them to the correct length. All in all, you get what you pay for and the price, which was about half the price than anywhere else, was fine for me once they moved me to 312. The drawback were the Cubans, who were in large groups atten

I wasn't expecting it to be the best hotel out there. At first, it was actually what I thought, but when they welcomed me with a "you better have a reservation because we have no rooms available", it left much to be desired. The last room was indeed mine. I had asked for two separate beds, and they gave me one king because they didn't have any rooms left. They did not try to make up for it in any way and it was already around 11pm. Oh well, I had to stay on the same bed with some relatives. The room smelled like cigarettes all around, which I had specified I wanted non-smoking. The hotel rep said they had no control over it when I complained through hotels.com, and not only that but they lied to the hotels.com rep when I complained and they called the hotel to ask what happened. The Sea Beach Plaza hotel rep (a lady) told hotels.com that they offered me another room but that I declined their offer, which is false. A male attendant actually checked me in and I saw that he was alone, there were no rooms left, and they did not give me another choice because they had no rooms left. Oh well. At least I thought I could have a good night sleep. Didn't happen either, there was a lot of noise from outside, there were kids making noise, people downstairs, next door, and even noises around the floor and walls. I didn't want to find out what these noises were, but it stopped when I turned the lights on. Anyway, I will not stay at this place again, and I would not recommend unless they improve their customer service and the maintenance of their rooms.

This hotel needs a sign out front for per half hour rate. Even though the room was clean, it smelt of stale cigerettes. The bed was comfy but small.

I am conflicted in writing this review because I don't want to sound misleading when I say that this hotel fulfills its purpose. It is a kitchy place by the beach where a group of friends can just hang loose and have a convenient place to sleep and get a hot shower. Not every Florida vacation experience has to be romantic, idyllic and luxurious. This place is perfect for a bunch of college kids on a road trip, or a family of six with lots of little kids. The room was clean, kitchen complete with working fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and long kitchen counter. Our bathroom ceiling did have a small area where it was cracked and buckeling, the shower fawcett was broken, the linens were well worn, the remote contol did not work, the vertical blinds were falling apart, there was a broken clock on the wall, all things that could be fixed if the owners read this review. On the flip side, there is plenty of storage space and a pleasant walk to the beach. It just depends on who you are -if you are not honeymooning, or you're not coming from the safe environs of the country club lifestyle, then save yourself the luxury tax and plop down at this low key motel. You'll have fun!

This is a much older hotel surrounded by more modern places. The wireless Internet didn't work in my room. The walls were thin and the TV remote didn't work. The curtains weren't in good shape so light came in from the light outside the window. Only benefit was being very close to the beach.

The Sea Beach Plaza was very nice. The owner and people working there aim to please. They keep the rooms very clean and smelling nice. It was very homey and right around the corner from the beach. I will go back there again.

I would not stay at this hotel again, not even for a quick overnight when I just need a bed and a shower.

I loved the free internet and little kitchen. The room needs some major TLC. The bed spread looked highly used, lighting was very dim.. a different light bulb can easily solve that problem. The worst was the swarm of termites in the room that hung out next to the window and on the dining table.. most were dead but some were alive and fllying! The AC works great but noisy, however, the walls are solid and you can't hear your neighbors, unless they are outside your door. I would sum it up as saying if the place didn't have bugs, then it is highly recommended for that price.

Reading the other reviews I thought this hotel would be ghetto but didn't care because we were just staying one night to go to a cruise in the morning. The cruise ended up getting cancelled and while we couldn't cancel the room they were nice enough to switch are reservation date. When we got there we had an extra person and he waived the charge. The area wasn't bad, right near the beach tons of restaurants and decently close to Voodoo lounge ($13 cab ride) which is where we ended up going the night we stayed. Overall I think they out did themselves at this hotel, the elevator was kind of stinky and the pool could have used some skimming but the room had a huge fridge and a mini kitchen. I loved the hotel and so did my fellow travelers.

This place is definitely a dump. Very old and not comfortable. I was only staying one night and figured it was one of the cheapest for the location, so I figured I'd give it a try. We had fun there and laughed about the situation but if your picky or traveling more than a night do not stay here!! It's definitely the type of place we slept with our clothes on and did not sleep with the covers...and wouldn't even considering showering there.

Got what I expected.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the hotel. The staff at the hotel were very friendly. The location was amazing, the beach was a 2 minute walk away. The room was very clean and we had a big refrigerator and a microwave. The only thing that was a little bit of a hindrance was that there was that the bathroom door didn't close all the way.

I'm already planning my next trip to Florida and will stay at this hotel again. James at the front desk is the nicest guy you will ever meet and everyone made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I love this place! It is right by the beach and I wish everyone who stays here the best time ever! I stayed for a week and am really missing it already! ;)

the hotel is a motel, the room and more even, the bathroom needs a total over haul!!!! The shower head was held on by tape, and the water pressure reminded me of Europe.

The hotel is a little run down but it is cheap, across the street from the beach. Like I said though you get what you pay for. Not a bad hotel in all.

There was a huge dead bug on the floor when we moved in. The room was right out of the 1950's. Tile needed to be replaced in the bathroom. Bed was intolerably uncomfortable. Luckily we didn't spend a lot of time there. The whole block whould be leveled.

As we did, this was a good value for 1 night, awaiting a cruise from the nearby docks. For a lengthyt stay, I would not recommend.

Needs Improvement. Good location to Port Everglades.

Good location, walking distance to beach. Hotel provided a hair dryer upon request. Skimpy, hard towels in room. Thin mattress. Room was clean and acceptable for a one night stay. No clerk available upon checkout at 9 am.

The decor is worn, the rooms were old and untidy. Thank goodness I only spent one night.

It was a very nice looking hotel. I would go there again if I ever had to go spend the night in that area again. The people at the front desk were very nice and willing to help. Overall it's a good hotel.

I stayed here while attending the TPIE show at the Broward County Convention Center. I used the Route 40 bus to and from the show as well as walked the 1.6 miles. I stayed in Room 310 and the room I was in wasn't as nice as the efficiency room pictures online as of 01-Jan-09, so you may want to ask about the room before going. The staff was excellent but the pool, was super small.

great location, but......... 1. blinds barely worked 3. no hot water in the morning 3. broken tiles in the bathroom 4. the tub faucet leaked heavely and upon checking in, which was quite late and i was very tired, they asked for my license and photo copied it, saying it was their policy. needless to say i was quite unhappy with my stay at this hotel.

This motel is not the taj-mahal but very sufficient for our purpose. Room was good size with comfortable bed and equipped with refrigerator,microwave and the other goodies needed for a substancial visit but we only had 1 night to stay. When considering the cost factor compared to other places in same general location we feel it was a bargain and would consider using the same place in the future.

Great location..beautiful area and the staff were really great...i would def come again

It smells overpoweringly of mold. There is no staff at all during the night. The room was decent though and for the money isn't too bad. Good for a 1 or 2 night stay only. Anything longer than that and you will be frustrated.

Clean, staff were curtious. Very, very basic rooms. However only about 8 miles from the airport and just around the corner from the beach made it convenient. The pool was the smallest I've ever seen!

b.la valgt p.g.a internet adgang , den virkede kun i 3 ud af 7 dage, manglede toiletsæde i 3 dage , inge varmt vand i 4 dage,ingen ansvarlig person at tale med på hotellet , ejeren var i Indien , manageren var aldrig til stede,hotellet drevet af urutinerede men flinke studerende, alle forspørgsler på rettelser af mangler blev svaret med, jamen det er jo" low season" ,

Das Bett hat bei jeder Bewegung Geräusche gemacht. Nachts ist es laut, da das Motel gern von jungen Leuten genommen wird. Kann ich nicht empfehlen.

Jag bodde på hotellet en natt för att sedan ta båten till grand bahama. Hotellet är sunkigt, men läget är bra. Det ligger mycket nära stranden och strandprommenaden. Det ligger dessutom ganska nära hamnen och bahamas kryssningarna.

Nicht empfehlenswert.

sunkigt

Fint, hvis man bare skal have et sted at sove.
