Lauderdale Beachside Hotel - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Got to hotel late at night and VERY tired. First thing noticed was a cockroach crawling on the bed. Killed it and just had to sleep. In a.m. noticed there was black mold on the pillow. The mattress was actually broken, sunk in to nearly touching the floor and creaked loudly. There was no security lock. The bottoms of the doors were rusted. There was […] a hole in the bathroom wall the size of a fist. There was no "do not disturb sign." There was an old cathode ray tube tv with only off the air channels. There were no wash towels. Asked for them and they said they ran out. Just a terrible, terrible experience. We overheard the front desk clerk talking to someone on the phone saying the owner lives in Orlando and only comes in once in a while. And it shows. Neither he nor anyone else there cares enough. This place is a dump. Lisateave

If you're low maintenance and are looking to just hang out but the beach at a very cheap price. I would recommend it. At $50 a night it was perfect for what I wanted it for, rest and be near the beach. There is a pool as well, it was a little dirty. The beach made up for it. There are no bedbugs, and as for food, within less than a mile there is the […] pier, and places you can eat and relax. Also there is a shopping center right across the street. I would recommend it but don't expect too much. Lisateave

Good location and price. Stripper party the day we arrived was pretty funky. Room condition was just fair. Thank heaven we had an ocean view or it would have really sucked! Considered changing hotels but only had one day left and it would have been an extreme hassle. I've stayed in the area many times. I will not return to this hotel. It attracts a […] bad crowd.

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. Lisateave

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. Lisateave

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.

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. Lisateave

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.

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.

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. Lisateave

It's a little run down, but fine for those who aren't fussy about their hotel and just want to enjoy the beach and the many things to do in the area. It's very conveniently located right across the street from a mall with a pharmacy, grocery store, restaurants etc, and a short walk to the awesome Aruba Beach Cafe and other great restaurants. The beach, […] right behind the hotel, was lovely. The service was good and friendly, breakfast is decent. There are two buildings, one right on the beach and the other across the road. We hadn't known and had booked the other one, and we didn't have a balcony. If i booked there again, I'd make sure to get a room in the other building with a balcony - there are some with balconies that overlook the beach. Lisateave

When we got there to check in there was one person to man the desk and she had to do the check ins and answer the phone. It took her 15-20 minutes to check in each person. The fromt lobby looked like it was under construction but they stopped after ripping stuff out. When we got to our room it smelled so strongly of bleach that it made our eyes water, […] we opened the "balcony door" and there was no screen and no balcony just a railing. The TV had no remote control and when we tried to call the front desk the phone did not work, We went back down to the lobby and when I told the girl at the desk that there was no remote and our phone did not work she wrote us down on a list and said someone would be up. The curtains were also falling off of the rod. The expedia site said there is a coffee maker in each room but our room did not have one, I didn't ask for one because nothing would have made me drink the water in this place. The room did have a refrigerator but the little freezer section had about 8 inches of frost. We left the bathroom light on all night but I still had to wake my husband at 1 am because when I got out of bed there was a roach on the wall. They finally showed up to give us a tv remote and fix the telephone about 4 hours after we checked in. It took the guy 15 minutes to figure out which remote to give us. We chose this hotel because we wanted to spend our last night in florida near the beach. Lisateave

Well. There are so really rude and horrible reviews about this hotel. That said, I think you expect worse when you read into these. Always make a place your own. I always make it a point to be FRIENDLY! Some of the people expect too much. These people who work here are great with what they have to deal with on a daily basis. Rude people get rude results.. […] True story! A little kindness goes a long way. Phylicia was an absolute jem at the front desk! She made sure I had a room I could live with(claustrophobia issues) and was happy I liked her choice. The rooms are not perfect , But add your own touches for budget at the beach you get a great place! I always have candles, and febreeze and my own sheet... I know sounds nutty, but I sleep better that way. I had no problems with anyone here, and they always were quick to get what we needed. As fast as they could. Remember you get what you put out... Some great places to eat are Carina's AWESOME Italian , Also Pa D's and Burger Fi, I never did go to the continental breakfast.. Instead went to Dunkin Donuts every day and was greeted every day with a smile. They were glad to see us again and again. I will go back there for sure... The beach was great and to get best shells on low tide days .... Snorkel! You CAN find a conch!! Lisateave

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.
