We loved staying here! We had two efficiency rooms. Valentina treated us so well! My a/c wasn't cooling properly, so I was immediately moved to cooler room. I then saw them changing the a/c in that room. The rooms were walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. They even had beach chairs and an umbrella for us to use. Thank you for great visit.

Did not even check in. There us very limited parking. Did not feel safe about parking our truck in the small spots that backed onto busy North Ocean blvd. Drove around looking for better parking but found none and police were giving out tickets. Went in to motel to ask about options but no one at desk, waited but no one came. We opted to go somwhere else. In all fairness i can not rate the motel as we did not stay there but want to make people aware of parking issue. It is also spring break so possibly very busy area due to that.

Loved the service that we received. They helped make sure we would be taken care of despite a late night/early morning arrival. Really appreciated the beach toys, laid back, fun environment.

First impression is not good. Door to office is very dirty. The attendant could not register us due to flaky internet. Attendant had to telephone her boss to assign us a room. We went to the room and barged in on someone already occupying the room. Once in another room we were generally satisfied except the bath was very dirty and the bath drain does not evacuate water properly. The property is in a great location, close to restaurants and beach. Why is there a « resort charge » for this place. There’s no resort. Just a small pool

Everything was great with the exception of no ice available, no gas grill, and the floors turned our feet black, even though they looked clean. Lovely front desk person, polite housekeeping person. We would definitely come again!

This is a splendid place: the rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is marvelous and wonderfully supportive. It's about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the ocean, and there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance. It's a great place to stay, whether you're travelling for work or leisure.

Love Lauderdale by the Sea and all the amenities. Horizon is an older motel and very simple, but clean, with a great little pool, and a block from all sorts of puɓs and restaurants.

Great stay, close to the beach
I had a lovely time at Horizon by the sea. 5 minute walk to the beach. 10 minute walk to the restaurants, bars and shops. They have chairs and umbrellas you can borrow for the beach. It is such a quaint place, like old Florida. I loved the vibe of the motel. It is located right on a bus line. We did not rent a car, we used the bus and rode into Ft Lauderdale when we needed too. We also rode the bus to Pompano beach. Both places located within 30 minutes by bus. There is a nice size pool and deck and numerous tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy the day. I could not have been happier with my choice to stay here. Everything was super clean and the staff was very accommodating. It was nice and quiet at night.

Great location
Fabulous location. Very short walk to the beach ! Lots of restaurants within walking distance . Room was clean. Very basic rooms but the location totally makes up for it . The office is only open 10-6 , so if you need something after those hours it might be an issue .
