After four previous Fort Lauderdale trips for beach swims and nice restaurants, Sea Spray Inn will be my permanent hotel for so many reasons - friendly staff, beautiful pool areas, rooms cleaner and updated better than any Hilton or Marriott, perfect location to walk 70 yards and be in the ocean, no traffic noise, etc. Cindy at the front desk is so nice and gives you the local scene lowdown.
