Hotel Seacrest

What guests think

Most reviews describe Hotel Seacrest as a clean, comfortable, small property in a quiet, walkable area just a short stroll from the beach, with simple rooms featuring kitchenettes and a pleasant pool area when available.

Guests often highlight friendly, responsive communication and easy self check-in, though on-site staffing is limited. Common downsides include occasional pool closures, worn or missing beach gear, and maintenance or housekeeping gaps such as humidity, moldy smells, and difficulty reaching staff. Expect a low-key, apartment-style stay suited to independent travelers who value proximity to the beach over full hotel services.

We were very satisfied with our stay at Hotel Seacrest. It was disappointing that the pool was closed but besides that, everything met or exceeded expectations. They even accommodated a last minute request for a late checkout when our flight was delayed. I am looking forward to staying at HC again soon!

We had an amazing stay! First, they were very responsive to my questions before-hand. The rooms were very modern and exceedingly clean. The location was superb. About a 3-4 minute walk to the uncrowded part of the beach. Loved that they provided beach cart, umbrella and two chairs. Saw someone complain about the quality of the chairs in another room, but they were good quality - perfect for us. There was a little rust, but that’s what you expect with salt water. We’d definitely come back again!

Very clean, updated room. Great bed and climate control. Awesome pool that I used everyday with comfortable loungers and other chairs. Loved the “extras”…beach chairs, towels, beach cart to pull everything. Location was perfect…minutes from the beach, go North a few blocks to a grocery store, breakfast spot and CVS . About 5 blocks South is all the restaurant and dining options (on Commericial Ave.) No rental car is needed. You can walk to what you need. We will definitely be back.

It appears that this motel is currently going through an ownership change. This place has a lot of potential. There are 8 units here. it is by no means a hotel. We arrived to the motel around 3pm which is check-in. The patio area was overgrown with weeds and other guests complained about the pool not being cleaned until the day we arrived. We entered our unit and it had a coffee maker with no coffee but plenty of sugar and cream. The shower had plenty of soap bars and shampoo but only one half used bottle of conditioner. Overall the place was tidy but it could have been cleaner. The rules were a little ridiculous hanging on the wall in the unit. If you wanted to use the grill you had to pay an extra fee for cleaning etc. Hopefully new ownership makes this place better because it could be great and is in a great area close to everything at Lauderdale by the Sea. It was fine for a one night stay but I wouldn't spend more than that.

The beach chairs need replacing as well as the pool lounges, and the pool itself was like a hot tub! Overall, a great place to stay!

Property was clean, instructions for check-in were clear & efficient. Need to replace the beach umbrella, we got to the beach and the friction locking mechanism for the two poles to come together is broken. The solar remote for the tv is not a sustainable plan. It runs out of charge and you are stuck. This should be replaced. The property is nice, just needs some small tweaks.

We had such expectations of this property as reviews were positive & we liked the idea of a smaller boutique style hotel in a quieter resort & near the coast. We picked the hotel as it had a pool & quiet pool area. We were on a cruise prior to our stay & did not have internet. When we docked, we had a message (only a couple of days old) to say the pool was out of action & awaiting maintenance. We had the option to cancel but it was too late to re-book anywhere else as it was spring break. We were only offered a $25 gift card for the inconvenience. I had a broken arm so we were relying on the pool area to relax as the beach was going to prove difficult. On arrival, there was no reception staff. The first room we were allocated had a moldy bathroom and window locks were broken. We struggled to make contact with the management as the only option was a US number which we could not use as we did not have international call facility. There is no reception, just a cleaning cupboard where the male was sat outside! We had to unpack as we could not make contact with anyone. We were eventually moved & there were issues with this room, broken locks, poorly maintained bathroom, gaps in front door etc. There is no housekeeping. It cannot be called a hotel as it offers no services. It is for sale so obvious no money being spent on it. Poorly maintained grounds. Further in depth review on Trip Advisor.

We could not have been more pleased with our choice to stay here and all of the accommodations. Everything was simple and straightforward - from booking, communication about check-in and what was expected at our departure. The room was incredible! Many thoughtful touches - large and small - made our stay comfortable. The room was spotless and cozy. We will definitely return!

The location is unbeatable! It’s 1.5 blocks away from the beach, and this property provides umbrella, chairs, you can bring to the beach. However, the property is on sale right now, the maintenance is not good. It’s humidity and smells moldy. The bed is comfortable but humidity. The bathroom is very basic. The kitchenwares are not clean.

We stayed at this hotel for four nights. It is a very well maintained and manage property. We only saw staff once or twice through our time but communication was very good through messaging. Everything is painted up, trimmed and maintained. The unit looks out on the swimming pool as the other units with a pleasant decor. There is a modest yet effective kitchenette, which allows you to prepare light meals with a microwave, cook top, toaster, coffee maker, small refrigerator and sink. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was pleasantly finished clean and spacious. The pool was lightly used, it was heated and you can have a private day as people infrequently came and went. Pleasant surprise to have available and free beach chairs, sun umbrella and transport carts on offer. We enjoyed our stay, it was a four minute walk to a major grocery store or the beach or a little further to the waterfront tourist area with restaurants and shops. There is really no better location or arrangement. Good value for the cost. We would rebook or recommend without hesitation.

Beach chairs and umbrellas broken or in bad shape. Advertised amenities not present ie. laundry facilities, shopping boutique.No management on site to deal with issues. House keeping staff did not speak English so commicating problems was difficult.

Overall Disappointed – Would Not Return Our stay at this property was disappointing from the start. Just before our arrival, we were notified that the pool was out of service and given the option to cancel. Unfortunately, it was too late to find a viable alternative, so we proceeded with the stay. The exterior of the property is clearly neglected. Landscaping is overgrown, weeds push through the patio stones, and there were animal droppings around the pool area. Despite the message saying the pool was only recently out of service, it looked like it had been unusable for much longer. Inside, the room was thankfully clean and comfortable, with a nice interior. It had a small mini fridge and microwave, but don’t expect to cook – the outdoor grill they suggest using was rusted beyond belief and likely inoperable. The biggest letdown was the lack of service. When we had an issue, we tried contacting the office but only reached voicemail. Emails went unanswered. The only response we got was from a number that had previously texted arrival info, but even that wasn’t helpful. We eventually resolved the issue ourselves, but it was clear that if we’d needed real assistance, we likely would have been on our own. Unfortunately, this stay fell far short of expectations, and we won’t be returning.

The Hotel Seacrest was a nice cozy place to be if you want to have a beach getaway. Even though you did not have the ability of opening your back door and viewing the beach but the walking distance to the beach it was as if the beach was in your backyard. You were in the middle of everything from the Dollar store,Walmart,Publix even Ace hardware. Everything was conveniently located around you. And the area was so quiet and neighbors so friendly. I would stay here again when I return.
