Overall not too great, I knew the property was old but the upkeep and overall cleanliness was pretty bad. My toilet had to be “fixed” 5 times in the first day; eventually just stopped asking for it to be “fixed” and used the lobby restrooms. Needed to get a new keycard 3 times a day after it would stop working… ran out of towels for room, pool and beach everyday by 12:00 pm. Location is great and nice little “bar” and snack shop to get waters, Gatorade, beers etc right front but overall not great, will not stay again.

The entire property is in poor condition. I was looking forward to the beach view bar, but on arrival noticed it's been closed for years and should be kn9cked down. The gates don't lock, so anyone has access to the hallways of the property. The only good thing about the property is its location and the wonderful front desk staff. Never saw housekeeping during our stay. Towels were never replaced. In room safe isn't even secured, so anyone could walk out with the entire thing. This experience has caused me to not trust Expedia. I'm amazed that they would promote such a place.

Staff is great. The property itself is pretty dated. It could stand some remodeling. But if you are young and going there for spring break, it should be just fine, The location is decent. You can walk across the road to the beach easily. The front desk staff is good, the housekeepers are friendly and for the class of hotel, this place had a lot less of other peoples hair found in the room compared to the last low budget place we stayed. During the peak season for the area, we stayed there for the price. Would I stay again? This time of year and price comparison, its fine,

TERRIBLE PROPERTY DONT BOOK HERE GO TO A MOTEL 6 INSTEAD OR SOMETHING. Disgusting rooms , looks like a cheap motel from 1942. Horrible lobby , elevators etc. Random people sitting on the floor in front of your doors. I didn’t know it was an outdoor setting motel but it was so bad.

Hotel was built in two stages, front in 1951, tower in 1959, both were combined. In 1951 it was the first hotel with AC in Fort Lauderdale, most luxury at that time, all celebrities at that time stayed in the Sea Club Resort, in 1951 called the Jolly Roger, Lobby was declared historic in 2008, built with Coral Stones from the Ocean. Elevators are working because they were modernized. Hotel has been renovated many times since 1951. Location is the best! yes, the front building has catwalks, the tower has its own elevator.

The hotel is severely outdated. They need to level it and rebuild. It is also very dirty- the carpet stinks and wasn’t vacuumed for probably a month, the walls paint is flaking off and the bathroom is falling apart and full of mold. Ten years ago this was a nice hotel, currently it’s a run down beach front property. The parking situation was a nightmare, they don’t have any spots to accommodate. There are all of 10 spots in the lot and a shared lot with another hotel, after a night out, we had to park in the bushes around a curve in the lot and hope no one would hit us. Fortunately the car we rented was compact enough to fit. I highly suggest you look elsewhere…it was too expensive for the stay and no peace of mind.

Your room was tested for mold and that mold has not been detected in the room.The Sea Club Resort has 54 parking spots in two lots behind the hotel, both lots owned by the hotel! In addition the Sea Club has parking for guests in the garage. The Sea Club Resort is the only Hotel that provides free parking on Fort Lauderdale Beach, and doesn't charge Resort fee!We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear this was not met in your interaction with our business.

Stay here if you're just looking for a place to shower and sleep. Room and bathroom were not super clean. Spend your time on the beach or wandering around the area. Wi-Fi was not strong so this may not be your best bet if you need that.

The property's location is excellently located on fort lauderdale beach. However you can see that they are trying to upkeep this property as best as possible but in many ways it still need updating.The walls need proper painting Upon check in i was greated by two wonderful young ladies. Customer service was amazing. I went and checked into my room however i did find 2 roaches in the room. I went back down to the front desk and spoke to one of the young ladies who again ( great customer service) apologized for it. And gave me a different room. The second room was fine. And i had no other issuses.

Expedia totally misrepresents this old run down hotel, including their photos of non existing restaurant and bar. All photos are not accurate. We unfortunately we were stuck for a week renting their top suite, all curtains were torn and hanging, the carpeted floor is so dirty we had to wear shoes, our feet got dirty walking on carpet, the toilet leaks water on the floor, the room safe was not working but were charged anyway for daily even though it was not needed or trusted, the entry door was damaged, bath tub damaged, wall electrical outlets loose or not working, internet intermittent, and staff said "not surprised", were well aware and unconcerned. They had excuses, that had been used with multiple unsatisfied renters. They said contact Expedia. I wish to update all their photos with accurate depiction of this run down, smelly old hotel. It was depressing but had a nice location.

The hotel definitely needs some help. It smelled musty, carpet was filthy and our neighbor next door to us played loud thumping music all night long. I guess I got what I paid for. Could be a decent place with some renovating. Location right across the street from the beach is awesome!
