The hype
Travelers love the retro aesthetic and the rooftop pool scene, but often complain about the humidity/musty smell in the rooms.
The Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort
$175-330 / 泊
以下の場合は予約してください You want a stylish, social boutique vibe with a killer rooftop pool that feels like a private club, just steps from the beach but away from the mega-resort chaos.
人々が愛する理由
- The rooftop pool deck with Intracoastal views and sunset DJ sets
- La Fuga's coastal Italian food is actually good, not just 'hotel good'
- Kimpton's signature perks: free bikes, yoga mats, and nightly wine hour
クイックテイク: It’s a renovated 1949 motel with a fresh coat of mid-century cool, so expect thin walls and small bathrooms behind the stylish decor.
@lizthetravelplanner によるレビュー: I stayed here and was so relieved by the accessible setup. The walk-in shower made my trip stress-free, and the room felt cozy, not clinical. Loved the cute retro fridge and the free beach bag—made heading to the ocean super easy. Highly recommend for a relaxed stay.

Reality check
The 'resort fee' feels steep ($40+) when the 'beach access' is just public sand and some chairs you have to carry or claim.
- You travel with a dog (no fees, no size limits)
- You prioritize a vibe-y pool scene over a massive room
- You want to be near the action but not directly on the loud A1A strip
清潔さと保守管理
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally responsive, but daily service can be hit-or-miss on timing.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean surfaces, but watch for mildew in grout lines due to the humidity.
- Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible (scuffed baseboards, slow drains) typical of older renovated buildings.
- Linens & towels: Towels can feel a bit scratchy/worn; linens are standard crisp white.
- Odors & scents: Frequent complaints of a 'musty' or 'damp' smell in rooms, especially on lower floors.

行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The building was originally 'The Escape Hotel' opened in 1949, the first hotel near the beach with a pool open year-round.
💡The 'ocean view' rooms often just have a sliver of blue between other buildings.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during peak check-out times.
💡The bathroom barn doors in some rooms don't lock or seal fully—awkward for new couples.
💡You can hear the rooftop DJ bass in the rooms directly below on the 3rd/4th floor on weekends.
