Awful, very poor motel. Totally different compared to information in internet. Lazy and tired (to life?) person in reception, always face upside down. Room was crappy. Warm water available, only thing to be happy. Free parking in front of the mote was only positive thing. More

We stayed at this hotel for a convention nearby. When we first arrived the room was clean and neat. After several days we had to find a maid to get fresh towels everyday and they never made up the bed. My main concern was that the bathroom was clean, which it was. The pool is nice and out of the...

We were in Ft Lauderdale for a family reunion. The hotel staff was excellent. Our room was spacious, very clean. We loved having the kitchen so we could make coffee etc. The hotel was very accomodating in allowing us to utilize the outdoor patios for our get together. The beach and shopping/restaurants were all within easy walking distance. We will... More

My reservation was for the Shell, so when we checked in, I was a little let down to hear the Shell didn’t have the room I requested & we were to stay at the Martindale. It seems the Shell only has double beds, & my request was for Queen / King Bed, which the Martindale has, so from this perspective,... More

I traveled back to Ft. Lauderdale to visit family and needed an affordable place to stay and use as a base during my stay. I had not stayed at the Martindale before but was familiar with it from my stay at the Shell Resort hotel next door. Compared to the Shell, the Martindale was more of a family, mellow and... More

We were very tired reaching the Martindale. The care and helpfulness received during our late arrival (after close of business) was seamless and assuring. The accommodations were fine, a block off of the beach free parking and friendly service. We found someone on staff to help with everything that we needed. We enjoyed not have to spend our vacation waiting... More

The location couldn't be better for the money. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. The office staff was wonderful. They printed our return boarding passes in a matter of minutes. Zadie (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was so helpful with our hotel reservations. We had originally booked the Shell Motel located next door. We stayed there several years... More

I used to live in Florida for a couple of years and went back for a vacation in November 2010 for 2 weeks.The Martindale by the sea is a very cute, charming little place to stay, clean rooms and very friendly staff. The location is a big plus; it is located right by the ocean. Restaurants along A1A / Ocean... More

The first time I stayed at the Martindale was so very special, I kept coming back over and over for the past 10 years and never go disappointed with the service. I have brought all of my band members there too and everyone of them love the fact that it makes them feel at home. How can you beat being... More
