if you like clean, cool time capsules, this is the hotel. From the moment we were greeted at the door, it was an awesome stay. Quaint clean rooms with a cool pull down bed. Nice pool with gas grill. Quick walk across the street to the beach, and short 5-minute walk to downtown restaurant area. Want to cook, use the full kitchenette. Nothing bad to say here, would definitely stay at Coral Key again.

Ideally located (literally 2 minutes from the beach) and excellent place to stay when visiting Lauderdale By The Sea. Friendly staff, with a very customer centric and service minded hotel manager. She was very accommodating to any questions that might come up (e.g. made available beach chairs for use on the beach).

This is only applicable for our specific room in building A: would have loved to have a little space with 2 chairs and a small table by the outside entrance to the room. Not a big thing, but would have been nice for two Norwegians to sit andhave a glass of wine in the evening :-)

The atmosphere of the hotel is what brings us back. It’s nostalgia and “feels” like old school beach vacation. I love how quiet it is. Perfect for a relaxing time. The location is perfect for a short walk to restaurants and entertainment. Also, immediately across the walkway from the beach. The rooms are exceptionally clean and well equipped for places to hang wet towels and suits for overnight drying. I love that every room has their own chairs and side table for relaxing outside the door. I like the old school entry to rooms with an actual key so you can leave the door unlocked for running in and out quickly without need for a key while hanging out by the pool. We have visited many times because we love the hotel!!

Our stay at Coral Key Inn was great! The staff were super friendly. The location was perfect. Easy access to the beach. The pool was amazing. Even the other visitors were friendly.

I do believe the room could have been a bit cleaner. When I took off my shoes I got grit all over my feet. So, I had to walk around in my shoes for the rest of our stay. BUT the biggest issue we had was the sleeping arrangements. When you advertise a sofa bed, you should get a sofa bed. Not a broke down chase lounge that you have to put a table with a cushion on it at the end just to be long enough so your feet don’t hang off. Plus, who knows how many bodies have slept on it. How do they clean it? Wouldn’t it be cleaner to get an actual sofa bed and put sheets on it.

The location was wonderful - directly across from a little park with beach access. It was nice to have a kitchenette in my room and a pleasant outdoor seating area by the pool. When I arrived, I was surprised that there wasn't a regular bed. There was only a murphy bed, but it was very comfortable. It did not end up being a problem for me. I paid a little extra for room with a sea view. I would not do that again. I would not call it a sea view, but there was a certain angle where you could see a tiny glimpse of water.

There should be a more accurate description of the room on booking.com.

We loved how kid friendly the place was. We also liked the size of the room…it was like a mini apartment which is awesome when traveling with many kids. Having everything we needed to cook a meal was nice as the the restaurants can get pricey for 5 people every meal. They even had a poolside propane grill we used for steaks! The pool was heated which was GREAT since our first two days the weather only reached 69 degrees making it too chilly to hangout at the beach. The hotel staff were also very accommodating and friendly. The free parking was a great plus as well.

I felt the bedding could use an upgrade as the comforter was more like a light blanket rather than a a comfy comforter. The beds were hard and hurt our backs in the morning so we ended up moving the kids to the beds and we opted for the couch that turned into a bed, it was slightly more comfortable. Lastly we understand this is a small possibly family owned inn, but we called after hours around 7 for more blankets and I think they were closed completely. Not a big deal to us but I can see this might be an issue if someone really needed assistance after hours.

Right across the street from the hotel. For a $50 deposit, we rented two beach chairs we could use the entire time we were there along with towels. The towels are replaceable for clean ones daily. Return the chairs and towels and we got our $50 back. The desk clerk, Theo, was terrific. Very helpful, gave us good info for the local restaurants and provided cards by the restaurants for free appetizers or desserts. We used one and got $19 off the appetizer for the Blue Moon sea food restaurant. Two pools and both clean.

Nothing. Place is older, the other reviews already stated so we knew what to expect. And reviews confirmed, it was clean. The staff maintain it.

The convenience of location and how close we were to the beach. The staff were also very nice and willing to accommodate for anything we needed. The value of the room as well.

We had a Do not Disturb sign on our door and while we were gone, housekeeping still came into our room

This is an older place but squeaky clean and very nice. Bibi the office manager went above and beyond for us when we arrived early from a cruise, storing our luggage and expediting ready for us well before check in time and then assisting us in moving the luggage. When I thanked her, she said, “Oh, I’m just in a good mood today.” But I think she’s just one of those people for whom helping others comes naturally.

Great place to stay! The room was spacious and modern, with a small kitchen that provides all essentials. Cheap guest laundry available as well. Everything was spotless. Very friendly and helpful staff. The location is great as well, just across the street from the beach in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Restaurants, bars, and grocery stores can be found within walking distance. The accommodation can easily be reached by bus from the airport.
