My family and I have been staying at this motel for years, specially for spring break or Independence Day weekend. We usually get about 3/4 different rooms. We absolutely love it here. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. But the privacy they give is incredible. The pool is amazing.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. Yes it's old. But our room was immaculate and there was plenty of room for two adults a child and two dogs. They do have tiled rooms (just a handful) that are rented to pet owners. But above all, the owners were friendly and responsive to all of our needs. And if... More

I have had the worst most violating experience with this hotel. They gave my personal information from my check-in and name, address, phone and credit card info to a friend of the hotel employees. Do not go. they will violate your privacy. Ruined my vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stayed here for a month in July and they were not crowded (off season) with the exception of a couple weekends. Location - Awesome with everything one could want right there. Beach across the street, shopping (Publix, Liquor store, strip mall) one block inland, Restaurants, the Pier, Scuba shop, tourist shopping all within easy walking distance around Commercial. We...

This facility is right accross the quiet street of El Mar...so much quieter than the places on A1-A. We could sit on the front porch in afternoon with beautiful view of palm trees and ocean. The staff is attentive. We had reasonable rates for full one bedroom apartment, with full kitchen, living room, and king bedroom . Maid service daily.... More

This place is very dated. The furniture is gross and in bad shape. The mattresses were atrocious. We booked a one bedroom apartment and arrived to find one king bed, one twin daybed, and one fold-out couch bed. They all smelled bad, just like the entire unit. The day bed was so worn that it slanted to the side and... More

My wife, son , and I scored some nine dollar flights on Spirit Airlines out of Atlantic City, NJ to Fort Lauderdale. It then became my task to find a location that we would like to stay at. I have a serious aversion to high rise hotels and condos located right on the beach, so I knew we would not... More

First of all, we are not people who go looking for 4 star resorts at the beach. I looked at several hotels for my south Florida vacation and we finally settled on Dee Jay's. We are very satisfied with our decision! It's not a 4 star resort. It's old. It could probably use some remodeling. It's exactly what I expect... More
