I was very hopeful that this would be a nice place to start our 10 day vacation in Florida. Thank goodness we were only booked here for only two nights of the 10! The only positive, the location is wonderful, being able to walk right out to the beach, to Arubas and the other outside activities going on there. We... More

The management is horrendous and RUDE. I have never been spoken to so rudely by anyone let alone a "manager" of a local business who is supposed to help the customer. Rachel or Anyone who could be of service to us was unavailable for days and only after a weeks worth of phone calls and after we wasted our money... More

I will let the public know what the actual complaint was since you as a guest could only personally attack an employee- not the business. To whom it may concern: This very unhappy person made a reservation with A Littlle Inn with our on-line service. When making the reservation he signed an electronic approval for his credit card to be... More

I have recently returned from a trip where we stayed at the Little Inn, all I can say is I am so saddened that the place has been allowed to run down to this awful condition. The hotel has a perfect position, right on the beach and a short pleasant walk to shops, eating places and bars, at first it... More

Agnes, I am very happy to see you took the time to leave a review. However, it saddens me to know that you left dissatisfied over something as easily corrected as housekeeping. At no time of your stay did you ever mention anything to me or any other staff member that there were any issues of any kind. If mentioned... More

Great value. This is an old Florida hotel...nothing fancy and needs updating, but held everything we needed. Location is great! Shops, restaurants just a short walk away... but this is the place to stay if you just want a quiet place right on the beach, away from the crowds. Kitchenette didn't have sufficient equipment to actually cook, but the microwave... More

We were a little hesitant to book this hotel due to some of the previous reviews, but we are so glad we took a chance on it. Yes, the hotel could use some fixing up, but overall it is a charming place. The location on the beach is perfect, and there were plenty of lounge chairs available at all times.... More

If you are looking for a perfect beach spot and a friendly, helpful staff, A Little Inn in Lauderdale by the Sea has exactly that. The beachfront location can’t be beat. It’s just steps out of the building, past the pool and on to the beach. The staff at A Little Inn is wonderful. Rachel and her staff go out... More

We did enjoy our stay, and the convenient location in LBTS was nice. Our room was a bit dated and had some minor issues like a broken towel bar in the bathroom, but nothing major. I'm not sure where the "B&B" I saw on thier web site comes in. this is not a B&B, and the breakfast provided in the... More

Our rooms (we had to move to a different room about half way through our stay) were somewhat run down. Apparently they are renovating some of their rooms. Don't be fooled by the room shown on their websitem which prominently displays one of the rooms that was recently renovated. Chances are you won't be staying in one that looks like... More
