The hotel is generally praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and convenient location close to the beach and local amenities. However, there are several complaints about the ice machine not working and issues with the air conditioning in some rooms. Some guests also mention that the property could use some updates and that the staff is not always available or responsive.

    I like the location. Close to shops restaurants and a great tourist destination. The pool was heated. Didn't like the parking. And the bathroom had cracks in the wall. The A.C is situated at the back of the room it don't get as cold as you would like. The water didn't get hot just lukewarm because the knob don't go all the way to hot.

    Location was great, rooms basic but clean, iron and hairdryer included, pool area nice and beds very comfy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again when visiting. There is no lock for the door, we found it slightly strange that there wasn’t an extra lock for the door. There was a strange twist lock but it didn’t actually do anything. I think the idea is that when you twist it no one can use the key card to enter but we tried it and it didn’t work. Such a minor thing that we would change.

    The Horizon by the Sea was perfectly situated with a super short walk to the beach. The pool was nice with lounge chairs available. They also had beach chairs that you could borrow - but on a first come, first served basis. The bed was comfortable and the AC was cold! But by far the best thing about the place was Valentina, the woman who basically ran the place. My bathtub was stopped up and instead of waiting to get it fixed, she moved me to a much better room. The new room’s TV was missing one of the remotes so she ran out and found a new TV with remotes! She ran everywhere! One day, it was pouring and I needed to walk to dinner. She found an umbrella that was for a beach chair, unscrewed it and I had my umbrella! She’ll own the place soon! Nothing.

    The room was pretty nice. The air conditioner made a hell of a racket. There were no tissues, and i have year round allergies. There was a container for ice, but there was a combination lock on the ice maker that i was not given the combo to. For the after hours checkin they left my key card under the mat, which i didnt think was very safe. But the worst part is expedia allowed me to book using Affirm, but when i checked in, they told me i needed a physical card. So they refunded Affirm and i had to pay using a separate credit card and I was not expecting to have to do this.

    The new furniture was nice, bed was comfortable. There was a lot of traffic noise from A1A highway. There was a persistent, loud whine from the surge protector behind the tv. Told the desk agent and later texted them but to no avail. Bathroom needs updating. Not a bad room for the money if you just want to stay on the beach all day. Walking distance from a pharmacy and a convenience store.

The location is great — right in a lively area with plenty of bars, restaurants, and a nearby pier that leads directly to the beach. There’s also convenient parking on-site. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked clean and well-maintained. Overall, a pleasant experience with friendly service and a great location close to all the action.

    For 10 plus years this was my go to place for staying in LBTS but after back to back weekends I will be looking elsewhere. The place is in decline as rooms I had were dirty. The showers were hard to regulate temperature. Seems like they are renting room to folks for long term stay. Same folks both weekends smoking pot and making noises late into the night. The office has limited hours which can be an inconvenience. I did like the location and value but now too many negatives for me to ever stay there again.

    The sole staff person I met was friendly but overall the property was barebones for the price. Be prepared for the $15 resort fee which felt unnecessary as there wasn’t much of a resort. My bathtub drain looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years and the outlet beneath the desk wasn’t holding the plugs. Overall do not expect too much from a 2-star place and just enjoy the rest of LBTS.

    Yes ,the property could use some out side updates , but there is plenty of places to sit outside and clean. The rooms are just like the pictures and the beds and pillows very comfortable. Nice kitchen with all you needed to have a meal. Most of all it was clean and no bugs. Mellisa was the best and very hard worker 5 Stars to her. The only down fall was ice maker not working, but Walgreens is only a block and half away.By the sea is a short walk 3 or 4 blocks away. I would defiantly go back .

    While the hotel was a little dated, it is in an ideal position in Lauderdale by the Sea and it has a pool. Free coffee is available for the room's coffee machine and the room also has a microwave. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good and there was plenty of space. We liked the fact there was no restaurant or catering but some people may not like this. There is a supermarket a minute walk away and it's only two minutes to the strip. All in all an enjoyable five days.

    Did not even check in. There us very limited parking. Did not feel safe about parking our truck in the small spots that backed onto busy North Ocean blvd. Drove around looking for better parking but found none and police were giving out tickets. Went in to motel to ask about options but no one at desk, waited but no one came. We opted to go somwhere else. In all fairness i can not rate the motel as we did not stay there but want to make people aware of parking issue. It is also spring break so possibly very busy area due to that.

    Great location. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Property was very clean and the pool was nice. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

    The location of this hotel is perfect! A 5 minute walk to restaurants, bars and shops and an 8 minute walk to the beach. An 18 minute drive to see Inter Miami and a 5 minute drive to the Lauderdale water taxi. The pool was great, heated and clean with umbrellas and lounge chairs. The air-conditioning was not working in our room, so they moved us to a new one. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. We would stay here again. Great place for a family, quiet and clean.

    Loved the service that we received. They helped make sure we would be taken care of despite a late night/early morning arrival. Really appreciated the beach toys, laid back, fun environment.

    The property is in a great location, close to restaurants and beach. Why is there a « resort charge » for this place. There’s no resort. Just a small pool

    Everything was great with the exception of no ice available, no gas grill, and the floors turned our feet black, even though they looked clean. Lovely front desk person, polite housekeeping person. We would definitely come again!

    This is a splendid place: the rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is marvelous and wonderfully supportive. It's about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the ocean, and there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance. It's a great place to stay, whether you're travelling for work or leisure.

    Love Lauderdale by the Sea and all the amenities. Horizon is an older motel and very simple, but clean, with a great little pool, and a block from all sorts of puɓs and restaurants.

    This is a basic hotel, somewhat dated, which we found to be clean with comfortable beds. The location had good proximity to the beach and the restaurants and shops at Lauderdale by the sea. We arrived early for check-in and were graciously offered a place to change to swimming attire, along with a beach chair, so we spent an hour at the beach while waiting for our room.

    The initial reaction to this property was that is was fairly dated, but the room was really clean and taken care of and the staff fantastic. Great walking distance to fun restaurants and the beach. Would stay there again for sure

    Nice motel with great proximity to the beach. Walls are thin and you can hear tv in neighbouring rooms. Also, if your neighbour smokes, your room is gonna smell. Beds are comfy and lots of closet space. Some peeling pain from the ceiling and the bathroom could use some updating. Would stay again.

    I had a lovely time at Horizon by the sea. 5 minute walk to the beach. 10 minute walk to the restaurants, bars and shops. They have chairs and umbrellas you can borrow for the beach. It is such a quaint place, like old Florida. I loved the vibe of the motel. It is located right on a bus line. We did not rent a car, we used the bus and rode into Ft Lauderdale when we needed too. We also rode the bus to Pompano beach. Both places located within 30 minutes by bus. There is a nice size pool and deck and numerous tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy the day. I could not have been happier with my choice to stay here. Everything was super clean and the staff was very accommodating. It was nice and quiet at night.

    Fabulous location. Very short walk to the beach ! Lots of restaurants within walking distance . Room was clean. Very basic rooms but the location totally makes up for it . The office is only open 10-6 , so if you need something after those hours it might be an issue .

    if you need a clean bed, close to the beach, then this is fine. We stayed 10 days, had a unit w/kitchen. The bottom kit cab was hanging on 1 hinge; the ac was SO loud; hasn't been updated from the 1970's; the internet was more out than on and very weak; the tv was a joke. The staff was great, esp Dina and Helen.

    Perfect place for our 5 night stay. Clean, well kept older motel with a nice pool to help beat the heat. Having kitchen facilities was ideal since we enjoy cooking for ourselves when traveling. The only downside was the street noise since the motel is sandwiched between busy Highway 1 and a side street. Nice economical place to stay in Lauderdale by the Sea.
