We stayed here for 2 nights in a 1 bedroom apartment on the ground floor (all the 1 bedroom apartments are on the ground floor) and my parents had a studio room upstairs. The rooms are clean, fresh and bright and look newly decorated. The kitchen has a full oven, fridge/freezer and microwave and has enough cutlery and crockery. No... More

Just checking out from 3 night stay. Motel is right round the corner from the beach ( staff provide free beach chairs and pool towels). Room was bright, clean and spacious. Full kitchen and grocery store a 3 min walk. It is beside a busy street so traffic can be noisy, but at night I just turned the AC fan... More

This hotel had many pluses, mainly it was close to the beach. The room was very clean, it had plenty of space, nice kitchen. The staff was friendly and helpful, got us beach chairs and beach towels at no charge, very good service. The only complaint was that it was on a very busy street so if you sat by... More

We booked our one night stay online and got an excellent rate. The office staff was friendly and efficient, and our room was neat and appealing. The beach was about a 2 minute walk away. Beds were comfortable, parking was convenient, and the room was quiet. We would like to stay again should we return to Lauderdale by the Sea.

I love Lauderdale by the Sea. I've been vacationing there for over thirty years. There is no place down there that has a nicer staff. The owner's Cindy and Steve and their son Mark are always looking to please. Everything is new and so clean. The location is close to everything. For being the "new kids" on the block I... More

Had stayed nearby previously while attending a conference but saw the Great Escape Inn and knew I had to try it. Well worth it. Very impressed with the courteous staff, nicely appointed kitchenette equipped suite, proximity to grocery store, eateries & entertainment, as well as the easy walk around the corner to the beach. Liked it so much I immediately... More

We stayed here on two separate occasions, and both times were extremely pleased. All of the staff were extremely helpful and very, very nice. The inside of the rooms were absolutely spotless. This is without a doubt the cleanest hotel I have seen. The beach is right around the corner, and it's a short walk to restaurants, shopping, and the... More

This is a great place. Nice, clean, rooms. Good wi fi. The only downside was the location of our room. We were right in the front with the parking lot and street right in front of us. The bed is along the wall where people walk by on the sidewalk and since it seems to be safe and popular place... More
