“A Surprising Treat in Lauderdale by the Sea”
I found this place on TripAdvisor and was a little suspicious since I rarely stay at motel-type properties, but booked it anyhow. It was only for two nights, so how bad could it be? I was very pleasantly surprised. A great value for the price. The property is similar to other small family-owned motels in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea...but with a difference. The kitschy Mexican decor is done to perfection--it is like being in a Mexican restaurant, but it is all beautifully maintained. What really won me over was the room--spacious with a king bed, a full kitchenette and an adequate but not updated bathroom. New, big flat-screen tv and FREE WIRELESS!!! The other big pluses were the helpful and friendly staff and the location; Blue Seas is a one minute walk to a beautiful and uncrowded beach and a two minute walk to the center of town. I did not give this place 5 starts because it is not a luxury hotel and some amenities are not available, but for this kind of property, it is top-of-the-line. I would recommend it!
