    The rooms are spotless, pool is wonderful, so convenient to everything. The host Alba and her husband are truly some of the nicest people that you will ever meet! The entire staff is incredible. If I could rate this hotel 10 stars I would! We will never stay anywhere else! This is our home away from home.

    The Blue Strawberry is a great little place to spend a few days in Lauderdale by the Sea. This place is INCREDIBLY clean, and staff is very helpful. This is an older property, but has been well taken care of. If you are looking for a property close to the beach and the "square", this is it.

    Great location if you want to walk to the Lauderdale by the Sea town square on the beach where all the restaurants are. Beach access is one block away. An older building and rooms could use some updating but overall our stay here was good. Pools were well maintained. Parking spaces were a little tight for a large SUV like we have but it worked.

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Blue Strawberry Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed and taken care of. The property is beautifully maintained, with charming décor and a relaxing, boutique feel that sets it apart from larger hotels. My room was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with everything I needed for a perfect getaway. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the beach, great restaurants, and the laid-back, coastal vibe that makes Lauderdale-by-the-Sea so special. The pool area was peaceful and inviting, and the entire atmosphere of the hotel felt warm, friendly, and truly relaxing. I loved the personal touches and the attention to detail throughout my stay. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the Blue Strawberry Hotel to anyone looking for a memorable, relaxing vacation in a beautiful location!

    The blue strawberry gets an A for cleanliness and a C- for antiquated rooms. The cabinets in the kitchenette were from the 1050’s. Overall, the whole hotel is in need of a complete renovation! The air conditioning was as loud as a freight train, so loud that you could barely hear the TV. The pool gunite needs to be stripped and refinished as it’s flaking off in the pool.

    Thank goodness I was there for the fellowship with my dear friend, beach time & good food! My 1st room was cleaned just before I entered and I found dark hair in a few areas of the bathroom. The bathroom window had a torn screen big enough for an arm to fit through. I took pics in disbelief! And I was unable to lock it securely. I was on the 1st floor. My room key/card was unreliable and I was locked out. The office was notified of my concerns and ultimately gave me a different room. Better room with kitchenette upgrade for no extra fee, but still on 1st floor and I couldn’t see out of the peephole. I had the do not disturb sign on the outside side of my door and house keeping entered anyway and took one of my personal towels out! What?! I did again notify the office and my towel was retrieved. Would not go back or recommend.

    Overall we enjoyed our stay. The staff was great! The room was comfortable and the pool area nice. Close enough to walk to dinner and beach. The downside was our room was not updated like the pictures on Expedia showed. There was just a sink, toilet, and very old tub/shower in the bathroom. No vanity to put any toiletries and not outlets in bathroom. Made it vey difficult for my wife to get ready.

    The rooms shown on Expedia are renovated. I stayed in unit 114 which was a bit outdated. The AC Units were loud and the hot water takes FOREVER to come on. Overall cleanliness was fine. Walking distance to beach and Walgreens and restaurants. The pool was decent. Overall 2 star hotel, you are paying more for location but there are plenty of air bnbs that are of better quality for your money.

    The Blue Strawberry is the best! Quaint place that’s perfect for a little getaway. The beach is right around the corner, and the courtyards with the pools are the perfect hangout spot for when you’re not feeling like committing to going to the beach. The rooms are simple but they’re clean and have everything you need. All the hotel staff, especially the ladies who clean the rooms, are wonderful.

    Really enjoyed our stay. The staff was wonderful and friendly. Our booked room had a plumbing issue, so they gave us another room and a free night. It was a couple blocks from the beach and food/shopping. Rooms were clean and very comfortable and roomy. Older hotel but really well kept and loved the quainter feel. Would definitely stay there again.

It’s in a good area you can walk to downtown Lauderdale By The Sea and a few other places so the location is very good and it’s close to the beach. My only complaint is the rooms need to be updated. They are clean, but they do need to be updated. Overall, I would stay there again.

    Nice beach motel for what it is. 2 minute walk to the beach. It was clean, however the bathroom could use a little work. Like painting and some new fixtures in the shower. Also the ac unit was loud. But for $90 a night in that location, good luck trying to find something better. Would stay again.
