A Little inn was a BIG NIGHTMARE for us!! It was to be our first vacay in 6 years (due to the recession). We were horrified when we arrived, as the lace looked nothing like it`s photos. Filthy, vermin everywhere, broken beach chairs, a frigid "heated" pool, & perhaps one other guest besides ourselves.

We discussed our options for finding another hotel as we rested in bed, without clothing (on our 1st day). Suddenly came a banging on our door, & before we could scramble to get dressed a disheveled looking woman barged in on us screaming "Get downstairs NOW, bring your ID & itinerary!!!". As we discovered there was a misunderstanding as to whether or not we`d paid Expedia (we did). A normal hotel would`ve phoned pur room & politely asked us to come downstairs-BUT NOT THIS PLACE (the phones were all inoperable, anyway).

As my husband gathered the paperwork I went to the office, obviously enraged, both at this terrible treatment & the fact that the place was such a dirty hovel. She would not allow mw to use a phone or computer to get in touch with Expedia. I told the manger, RACHEL-"Where I come from, busting in on people undressed etc. would earn you something called a NYC beatdown". She went crazy & called the local (hayseed) police.

And when we discovered that, yes, we HAD paid (an outrageus sum for such filthpile hotel) she screamed "I don`t care! I`ll refund your money!!". Expedia got us another hotel, but we we`d obviously developed a bitter taste in our mouths for Lauderdale By the Sea. We had to pay for a new return flight the very next day; lost $$$ on our car rental, & most importantly Rich lost his week`s vacay.    

Believe the negative reviews on Trip Adviaor etc., NOT the positive ones. And if you enjoy playing Russian Roulette, by all means book A Little In by the Sea! But if you want a good vacay, go elsewhere (I hear Captain`s Quarters is lovely).
