Florida - winter vacation
We are two seniors (non-smoking) planning our next winter vacation in Florida.
We are planning a month's stay in the Boca Raton to Fort Lauderdale area and are looking for an efficiency motel/hotel in a safe, clean area at a reasonable price range.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
jet29

There is a Residence Inn and a TownPlace Suites in Boca Raton.
There is a Residence Inn and two TownPlace Suites in Fort Lauderdale.
Residence Inns also offer a full breakfast in the mornings.
Both of these chains are owned by Marriott.

We are also two (non-smoking) seniors. We winter in the Keys.
When you are able to focus on a specific area, check a website named VRBO or www.vrbo.com . They are world wide and have some very decent properties available. You will be dealing directly with the owner.

jet29, As others have mentioned, Delray Beach is delightful, more upscale than the stretch south of Boca going towards Ft. Lauderdale. Lodging prices are higher on, or walking distance to the beach. Between the AAA guide, www.tripadvisor.com and sites like Travelocity or Expedia, you should be able to find places in your price range. There is an apartment-style hotel (1 BR units with kitchenette) on the beach in Delray which is terrific. Wright by the Sea (www.wbtsea.com) is reasonably priced for being on the beach side of A1A. You can't go wrong there if the winter prices are OK for you.

Thank you for your replies so far. We're still in the market for suggestions.
BTW - how would you rate and describe the area just south of Lauderdale-By-the-Sea between Commercial, Oakland Park, Highway 1 and the Beach (A1), in as far as safety (for two seniors), amount of traffic i.e. noise, cleanliness generally, etc. etc.?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,

That's a very nice location, caters to a more mature crowd, with a very nice beach. There's a pier also if you like fishing or simply a nice walk. Whatever you decide on, enjoy your trip, and God Bless you!
