If you are looking for a five-star resort with all the expensive, unnecessary, and silly add-ons that people seem to insist on for reasons that are difficult to fathom, the Hotel Seacrest is not your place. However, if you are looking for a clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay with fully-appointed suites, a beautiful pool, a friendly and attentive staff, and an ideal location in Lauderdale by the Sea, Hotel Seacrest is for you.
Your hosts, Lars and Henrietta, are hospitality pros who run a tight ship that makes relaxing and enjoying all that Lauderdale by the Sea has to offer easy and satisfying. Not only are these two efficient and effective in doing their jobs, but they are also friendly, welcoming, and engaging; a dry sense of humor like that of Lars is getting increasingly difficult to find in today’s world. Lars and Henrietta treat their guests to a Happy Hour on Friday, with drinks and simple, enjoyable snacks provided free of charge. This makes camaraderie among the guests and owners easy and enjoyable. We were only there for a few days between cruises, but we made several friends, including, of course, Lars and Henrietta. This is the kind of place that people return to year after year and hence make a second home.
The rooms are well-appointed and scrupulously clean. Lars and Henrietta live on site, making sure that the place is always clean and beautiful and that guests are respectful of other guests I'D LIKE TO WRITE MORE!
