Comfortable Boutique Hotel
The woman at the front desk was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The room was perfect for our stay. Fully supplied kitchenette (dishes, cookware, utensils, etc) and bathroom with all toiletries. Gas grill on site for guests to use. We only stayed one night so we didn't get to go to the beach or use the pool and hotel offers free use of beach chairs and coolers! Location is great and easy to find plus there is a food store and mini strip mall across the street while the beach is just across (1 block) the main road (A1A). Nice little place for a get-away. We would stay there again.

Beautiful and convenient
We needed to stay in FLL for one night after a cruise for a flight the next day.. I found this hotel on Expedia , and it looked descent & reasonably priced.. First, the area is amazing .. I'd never heard of "Lauderdale by the Sea"... great resteraunts and shops. Second, the hotel clerk was so kind and accommodating .. she let us check in early, loaned us her personal beach umbrella (all the hotels were being used), and was just a pleasure.. Lastly, our room was clean & well kept, the beds were super comfortable , the mini kitchen had a mini fridge, microwave , stove top, coffee pot and dishes! The pictures do not do this place justice.. I'd stay again if ever in the area..

Cute Inn close the beach, shopping and restaurants
An affordable cute Inn just steps from the beautiful beach and great restaurants. The courtyard swimming pool area was magnificent! The room was a little dated and dingy but I would still stay here again since the good outweighs the negative.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We loved the Away-Inn it was clean and comfortable. The kitchen has ample utensils, plates and silverware. The staff were friendly and accommodating. When we decided to stay an extra night they happily relocated us to another room (since our room was rented) at no additional costs other than nightly fee. The best part is location a very short walk to beach, and right across street from supermarket with free parking ( a big deal in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea). You can also walk 10 minutes or so and be right in the heart of the action - restaurants/bars the pier and quaint center with Adirondack chairs for people watching or just to rest. I loved this hotel, the staff and the area great vacation stay! Thank you Away-Inn!!!

Nice boutique hotel next to the beach.
It is nerve wrecking reading reviews when searching for a budget friendly hotel next to the beach. Pictures look great until you read the reviews. In this case the reviews were right on. We had a very friendly welcome by Bruno. He gave us a tour, a choice of rooms (thank you for the complimentary upgrade) and gave plenty of information on the area. Our upgrade to a suite made our one night staycation that much more pleasant. The kids enjoyed having their own space. The room was clean, and well stocked with toiletries and kitchenware. The pool was a decent size and clean. This would be a great place for a longer stay. There is a Publix across the street. There is no beach view but the beach is just a block away. No need to move your car. The checkout was just as easy. All the staff was friendly. I was able to leave the car while we went for a swim before hitting the road. I recommend this hotel.
