Great for the beach which was white sand and blue sea, beautiful, and SO quiet when we went.. A lovely evening stroll to a small bar and restuarant area (Aruba`s serve great food) Perfect for a quiet stress free break. We watched the sun rise over the ocean from our room every morning. The staff were polite, helpful, couldnt fault... more

Hotel has some age on it and needs a face lift aong with some maintenance, but the rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly enough.. Great for the price and location was excellent for walking the beach and/or finding something to eat.. It is located between 2 main streets where travel is easy for shopping and multiple restuarants. If... more

The hotel is pretty worn down, but it should be expected with the low rate. The biggest problem I had was getting the staff to be helpful. On my first night there it was really windy and a glass table broke all over the pool area where I was just about to sit down. The umbrella came blowing over to... more

My Wife and I were visiting Ft. Lauderdale for a few days before leaving for a Cruise out of Miami for our Honeymoon. We checked the Lauderdale By the Sea website and the pictures looked great but they are completely misleading. The site shows pictures of the pool and rooms being right near the beach that is completely false. The... more

We were staying in Ft. Lauderdale for 2 nights and booked this god awful place. We checked in and was given Room # 200, we go to the room and suprise, there was already someone staying there so they move us to Room # 416. It smelled like someone died in there, the room stunk to high heaven, stains all... more

We were worried about booking this hotel b/c of the bad reviews but took a chance anyways. Boy are we glad we did! This place was such a great deal! We loved our room --- I have to say we paid the very nominal upcharge for the ocean view room which I'm sure helped. Definitely do this -well worth the... more

Look. This place is old, some rusty door jams, it's a place to flop cheap in a great location. You can quickly get to the beach or a short walk to a great plaza full of restaurants and bars. The Village Pump, Aruba.....great nightlife without worrying about a DUI. The hotel is adequate at best...it's not nice. It's not the... more

After checking out of the hotel, we realized we left a necklace in the room. We received no help in getting the necklace back. Got the run around that housekeeping had left for the day. It had to either still be in the room or housekeeping found it and kept it! Very frustrating! more

Upon arriving to this resort after twenty hours of driving, the room we reserved was unavailable. That's right, they gave my room away. So we were forced to downgrade to a room with no ocean view. Then the lady at the desk asked if I would like to cancel that reservation... you know... so I didn't have to pay for... more
