On a positive note...the sheets were clean. We found the Sea Club to be less than ideal when expecting resort accommodations on Ft. Lauderdale beach. Actually it was reminiscent of a seedy hotel where one might want to hole up to ingest intoxicants, avoid the law or have an illicit encounter, complete with a musty oder pervasive throughout. Peeling paint coming off walls complimented the water stained ceiling tiles nicely to reinforce the effect of grunge at its worst, or best, depending on your perspective. The street people digging through the garbage dumpster, in full view of most of the rooms conveniently located just behind the low, cracked wall surrounding the pool, only added to the derelict effect. When we informed the front desk that we had gone without hot water for the past two days, their form of apology was to report that the boiler had been fixed just that very same morning that we were checking out. In fact, they were so gracious and apologetic as to offer to delete the mandatory safe charge that we were never informed of, and did not use. When we stated that we never even used the safe, their thoughtful reply was that it did not matter; everyone was charged just the same. How very egalitarian of them! Before recommending the Sea Club to another unsuspecting tourist, I would advise bringing extra allergy medication, along with a toiletry bag so that you can shower on the beach. In addition, it would behoove you to have the same immunizations that one would take before visiting any third world nation, and of course, don't forget to bring your concealed weapon permit along with the "heat' of your choice.

While arriving I realized I was in flop house when I overheard the clerk asking guests if he could hook them up with some good blow. As for the lobby, I saw a rat run across the floor while I was sitting near the birdcage. I advised the general manager that my room was dirty upon arrival with hairs in the sink, blood stains on my sheets, and someone used the toliet, as it was not flushed. The guy who was the manager named michael mann, was very rude and arrogant with me. He said in a think accent, there is NO compensation here! that is our policy! I can't believe this rude guy is the manager the way he was acting in front of my wife. Believe me, this place is horrible. The rooms are disgusting, the staff really don't care, they have a rodent problem that they don't care to address. I have contacted the board of health in south florida regarding this dump. This hotel MUST be shut down immediately for the sake of cleanliness. It is a filthy mess. There are flop houses in third world countries that are cleaner than this place! Don't be fooled by the cheap prices. Avoid this place at all cost!

Roches with Saddles!!!

The worst. The worst thing for someone who is OCD - like me - is sitting on the toilet - relaxing - and watching a herd of roaches the size of elephants stroll by my feet. Disgusting. These guys had to have saddles with people riding on their backs.

The food in the restaurant was hairy. The chef must be a woman with long black hair as I so aptly came to know while pulling a long folicle from my mouth. I recommend either a hairnet, haircut, or get a new chef!!!

It would be great if they had a Nobu, but I'm not sure a Nobu in a hotel which has roaches with saddles would do well.

Not a place for those who are obsessive compulsive about cleanliness.

Some friends and myself had planned to stay here for a night, prior to leaving Fort Lauderdale on a cruise. Upon arriving, we were totally disappointed. The lobby area had a "weird" smell, but we just tried to let this go. After getting to our room though, it was more than any of us could handle. The elevators, jerked and jumped all the way to the 4th floor. The halls were dark and almost ghosty like. Very spooky. The room totally had an awful smell of mould and a musty smell. It was awful. The tiles in the ceiling were even black and stained. They got us to check out 3 rooms, with all of them being the same. After a lot of fighting and complaining we were able to get our money back, although they didnt' want to. After flying down for Canada, it sure was a huge disappointment to arrive at a place like this. I hope many of you read this before you make the same mistake we did.

Terrible place, dirty rooms, bad decor and poor staff. The worst part for me was when I was sitting in the lobby using the complimentary wi-fi (the only good point) when a taxi driver dropping some people off started arguing with the check in staff. This soon ended in a slanging match, with some awful language and threats of violence (including waving a chair around!), despite the children present in the lobby at the time. If it wasn't for the kids present the whole thing would have been laughable! Needless to say we did not complete our stay, checking out well before the end of our reservation. Although it was cheap, it wasn't cheap enough to justify dirty and cracked bathroom fittings, uncomfortable beds, unclean rooms and bad staff. If you're tempted to stay here because of price my advice would be to think twice!
