it's a weird old hotel from they days of old for Lauderdale and I love it. Nick at the front desk is cool and seems to love the job. The Rooftop patio thing is awesome, great place to read a book and sip a drink. location is prime. they got a bunch of beach stuff, boogie boards and towels and sun screen etc. room won't take your breath away but it was clean and comfy and that's not why you're there anyway. restaurant next door is my favorite on Lauderdale Beach and I lived there for 10 years.
