4145 by the Sea Inn & Suites

My wife left her AirPods in our room on November 25th. We reached out to the hotel owner and manager. She stated that they have them. She agreed to ship to us. We made arrangements to pay the shipping by Venmo and she agreed. She is now not returning our phone calls or responding to our emails. We will never stay at a property that we don’t trust people to do the right thing.

Room was average at best...had a wierd smell..(not good)...property needs rehab and landscaping work...decent enough...you get what you pay for i guess...very helpful and communicative for check in needs though...

Great location near beach and restaurants. Comfortable bed. I would stay here again.

The hotel was a basic room with limited amenities. On the ******* website the listed fees for extra stuff was not accurate. For example if you want to check in early ******* says the fee charged is $50, they charged me $60 and got defensive when I questioned it saying that already was a discount. If you want extra towels they charge you (you are provided 2 each of bath towels, hand towels, wash rags and beach towels) there is no daily househouse keeping. They only clean the room/provide new towels if you are there over a week. There is no pool (which i didn't notice when i booked the hotel so just be aware) the outside sitting area is small but nice however, there were big dropped palm leaves that had not been picked up. Overall it's a cheap place to stay for 1-2 nights and in a very walkable area to dinner and the beach. I stayed by myself for 1 night on the way down to the keys but had my husband been with me 2 towels would not have been enough. No onsite staff, you check yourself in with an email you recieved the day before. Most likely would not stay here again because they charge extra for everything. I think it's ridiculous to charge for early check in when the room was not occupied the night before and it appeared I was the only one there in the entire place but just my opinion.

Great value. Beautifully decorated and maintained...

Cute place in a great location. Very clean and the host was very responsive, including to our last-minute request for early check-in. Will definitely stay here again!

Comfy cozy place. Enjoyed making meals in the kitchen. Short walk to beach and restaurants.

This property overall was likable. It was clean but did have a slight mildew smell. The dishes were a little grimy and the sponge to clean them was already used so we bought a new one. We were only left 2 shower towels and 2 beach towels for a 5 night stay and were told it would be $25 for another set when we asked for more. The laundry facility was apparently closed due to Covid. Each unit is allowed one spot but we had to park down the road because all of the spots were taken (6 spots for 8 units?) The TV also was a hit or miss as to whether or not it would work. They tell you not to turn the AC below 70 degrees but it does get pretty cold inside due to the tile flooring. However the location was close to Lauderdale by the sea (not the main downtown Fort Lauderdale but still close to a cute shopping/dining area). The bedding was clean. The bathroom was nice. It was nice having a kitchenette. Prices were cheap. They have beach chairs and umbrellas you can use as well, but we didn’t take advantage of that. Check-in was easy. They provided all the dishes you needed (just would recommend washing them before using). I would recommend bringing your own towels, hand soap (you only get a small bar of soap), and a new sponge if you plan on using the dishes. Overall the stay was nice.

This little hotel was amazing. Staff was super helpful and willing to answer any questions in a super timely manner! Very clean and in a perfect spot.
