Fort Lauderdale Travel Forum

My family and I used to spend a couple of weeks every June-July in the old Irelands Inn and loved it and Fort Lauderdale. Now I am alone and would just like to go to Fort Lauderdale or to a good beach hotel north of there on the Atlantic Ocean. It would have to be July or August. It seems to me that there must be hundreds of motels or hotels from Jacksonville on down to Fort Lauderdale that would have a nice beach with rooms facing it. Trouble is when I look for something, I can only find very large resort hotels and that is not my preference. I want to find a small place just to hang out for a couple of weeks of peace and to enjoy the beach and swimming in the ocean.
I have tried Internet searching, but not found anything appealing. I am trying to find what everybody wants, I guess, moderately priced (under $200 per day), some sort of kitchen facility for breakfast/lunch, clean, quiet and with a good beach and good view, free parking, free wireless Internet.
I look forward to ideas, or even to posting that say I WON'T find this and, if this is the case, I would like alternative ideas.
Thanks very much, George

You might wish to try the following website: www.floridastateparks.org/ FindaPark.cfm. I don't remember very many small motels along the central Florida Coast, but it has been awhile since I visited. Gary

I would stay in Palm Beach, FL (West Palm Beach). The ocean is beautiful and so is the city and area!

After looking at the Ireland's Inn web site, I think we may have different definitions of "small" and "peace", lol. Gary
