The hotel staff was very hospitable. The hotel was right on the beach and very close to beautiful clear clean ocean. It was a 3 star hotel at a good price. The furniture in the room was dated. A good value right on the beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants. No need for a car one you are there.
I really enjoyed my stay. My ocean-front suite was spacious with TV, kitchen with full size fridge, and outside open-air balcony overlooking the ocean. Very clean. Quality of service was over the top. Location is very convenient with walking distance to everything in Lauderdale By The Sea. 5-stars! I cannot say enough positive things about the friendly staff who ensured that our large group enjoyed every minute and every amenity that the Sea Lord Hotel had to offer during our 3-day weekend stay.
I was only expecting a beachfront view but I was pleasantly surprised by what we ended up getting. The staff was wonderful and friendly, the room had a fridge, stove, sink, dishes, and microwave! Our balcony was perfect! Even though it’s a small place, the family-owned environment shines through. You can tell great care is given to the property. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I am definitely coming back!! Tatiana, the staff, and the owners were very friendly and helpful.
My husband and I booked a stay at the Sea Lord somewhat last minute, about 10 days ahead of traveling. The staff was amazing - beyond accommodating, welcoming and kind. I called about 5 days in advance to add a night to our stay and they adjusted the reservation without issue. We checked in at the front desk, the person was nice and efficient. About 40 minutes after checking in someone came to the room to make sure everything was to our liking. The room was great - a full kitchen, small couch, and separate bathroom and closet area. Even the other guests were friendly and sweet. A very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Our room had a large balcony overlooking the ocean and felt private. The pool seemed a bit small at first but was never crowded, and there was always seating/tables available as well. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and a grocery store. Bartender Hanna was wonderful, friendly and made great drinks. Even loaned my husband a book after they chatted about some similar interests. Tatiana and Christof were also nice and helpful. Everything about our stay was effortless and smooth. At one point I ordered a drink from the bar and they were missing an ingredient, so I chose something else and they even gave me another drink to try free of charge. The property is on the smaller side and the beach is fairly private - top 5 in the beaches I've been to. Was never crowded and we didn't have to compete to get a good spot.
I'm honestly astounded at the negative reviews for the place. At times they seemed understaffed, but anyone who's watched the news in the last 6 months should realize businesses have had trouble with staffing. Even though it was a small crew they were speedy with helping us and we were never left waiting for long, the service was by far above and beyond what I was expecting. It was a great value and lovely trip, would recommend this place to anyone. Hoping to return in the spring!
Room was very old, definitely needs updating. The toilet did not flush right. Despite having maintenance come numerous times, we still needed to pour water into the tank in order for it to flush. Asked for a room change and was told they were no rooms available despite the empty parking lot. I only booked here bc they didn’t charge for parking, I should’ve kept my reservation at Ocean Sky and paid their parking fee! Location is great, it’s too bad nothing else was.
