I had a flight delay so I found myself in Ft Lauderdale for 2 nights and stumbled upon this place. Its $45 a night off season, so after looking around, I checked in. I enjoyed their free breakfast daily and I used the pool every afternoon. Its less than 30 minutes from the airport.

It was off season so it was very quiet with not many guests.

We chanced upon this establishment on our first visit to Ft Lauderdale in 1998 and were so pleased that we stayed there again 3 years ago. We've now returned from our third visit and am pleased to report that this is still a lovely clean inn with very good facilities and at a most affordable price. (I don't think that its any more expensive than when we first visited !!!) Read also my report "2nd visit" as the comments still apply.

A few months before our scheduled stay, we have called Sunrise Inn front office and made a reservation with one of the owners. We reserved a room with two queen beds for our 2 night stay. On arrival at the motel, Friday night, we were offered a room with a single bed, a much smaller room than one we have reserved. The clerk told us that we could get our reserved room but at a higher price. Tired from a long road trip from Chicago, we did not have the energy to look for another hotel. We were informed that only the motel owner could give us our reserved room at the agreed price. Since we could not reach an agreement with the front office clerk, we took the available room and were promised the owners would resolve the issue when they returned. As we did not hear from the owners the next day, we spoke to yet a different front office clerk. She assured us the owners are aware of our problem and would contact us when they return later that day. Needles to say, the owners never contacted us during our two night stay. My wife finally saw the owners on Monday morning, during our check-out. Both Maria and Krzysztof were at the office. The owners informed my wife that they could not help us with our reservation because they do not work on weekends. It is true that Sunrise Inn is run by a family who lives on site, but if you have a problem, it does absolutely nothing for you if you cannot get a hold of them.

I've recently returned from my 3rd visit to the sunrise inn & apartments and i'd like to share with you this wonderful accommodation experience.
Its run by the owners, so its got that feeling of home about it. They make you feel very welcome and valued.
The place is kept in prestige condition.
I am a solo traveller, so where i stay is very important to me. The rooms are spacious and clean. Serviced by hard working cleaning staff who take a pride in there work!
I ususally go out of season, so they don't offer a breakfast at this time, but there is complimentary tea / coffee and muffins in the mornings, which is a good place to meet and make new friends with other guests, quite a few of them are on there own too!
The beach is a block away, less then a 5 minute walk away.
The nearest supermarket is about the same distance.
It must be a good place to stay, because each time i've been there i've met people from my previous 2 visits.
Don't just take my word for it, come and see for yourself.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and maybe i'll see you there too.
