Sea Beach Plaza

The Hotel is really not that bad - but make sure you don't stay in room 113

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

needs just a few easy changes

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.

Great room for the money.

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.

Sea Beach Plaza - good for the price

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.
