Reviews for Wright by the Sea

Review 1：There is nothing to dislike.

Review 2：Perfect location. Near Delray but not too close. The grounds are kept immaculate. The private beach access and pool are awesome. The staff is very friendly. We will definitely return.

Review 3：Upon entering the reception office, the clerk was on the phone. Instead of jestering us to sit down, she ignored us. To whomever she was talking to, she had to thumb thru her paper files to find there reservation. That took about 5 minutes, then she addressed us. She had to thumb thru her file folder (nothing on the computer) to find our reservations, finally. The room was terrible and the beach area was a mess. Never again ! Horrible place.

Review 4：Nothing

Review 5：Some chairs not very comfortable And a little dated but no big deal.

Review 6：Great location , georgeous grounds and pool, lots to do on site and off. Friendliest group of staff I have ever met in south florida ! If you want feather beds, sunken tubs, and granite ... This is not your place. If you want serene grounds, nice beach, comfortable furnishings In a 1950's updated building... This is the best. Clean , well appointed with all necessities. Close to great shopping and restaurants too. We will be returning for a family reunion and other visits .

Review 7：I always had a "spot" in which to park, but I did not enjoy parking on the grass or trying to squeeze in my vehicle (once). The parking was free though.

Review 8：authentic staff, very genuinely friendly; not the "I have to say hi to you" kind! Also, I really enjoyed having a tea kettle to make tea, and a huge refrig! Finally, it was not loud around my room; no noisy partying going on all night so I was able to sleep. I hope to visit again!

Review 9：Well, it is old.

Review 10：This place is a great value--separate living area, bedroom and nicely equipped kitchenette. It's so nice to walk 40 ft. from your hotel room to the ocean. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I don't know for sure, but it seems like a family-run operation and I'm sure they could get a lot of money for the land alone--but they're running this kind of kitschy motel. It is not a chain so don't expect modern fixtures. But the wifi worked great and there was a flat-screen in both the living room and bedroom. Free parking--can't get that at the Marriott!

Review 11：WBTS was clean, friendly, well-equipped and included free parking, free laundry and detergent, free beach towels, free beach cabanas and chairs. Right on the beach yet only 4 blocks from great shopping and dining.

Review 12：I truly enjoyed the ambience of the place. A beautiful location on a private beach. The staff members were accommodating and respectful. Thank you for the experience!

Review 13：The property was stunning! It's more beautiful than the pictures show. Loved the ocean view. The staff was professional and friendly. The room was very clean and grounds are well kept. The kitchenette was perfect! We will definitely stay here again.

Review 14：The inside of the unit was furnished with outdated, uncomfortable patio furniture. The king side bed was in fact two twin beds placed side by side. The gap between the two mattresses was very noticeable. The mattresses were plastic, comparable to old hospital mattresses. There were extension chords spliced together and tapped with blues painters tape. I believe that is not up to code. The musty smell was overpowering. Our first stop post checkout was at a nearby laundromat to wash the contents of our luggage due to the musty smell that transferred from the room to our belongings.

Review 15：The location and grounds were the only positives.

Review 16：Lovely pool and direct beach access with beach cabanas. Well maintained and friendly staff. Small kitchen area with stove, microwave and refrigerator functional for the light meal prep. Grounds had wonderful Grill area and covered palapa for waterside dining.

Review 17：Cannot fault this place

Review 18：Beachfront location Friendly staff Relaxed atmosphere Easy 5 minute drive into Delray for restaurants Small number of apartments Room to sit outside on balcony

Review 19：Too far to walk to downtown area. Studio was a little small for a couple on a 4-night stay.

Review 20：Location right by the ocean; able to see the sunrise from our window. Friendly helpful staff. Clean attractive room.

Review 21：There was a wedding on the weekend that we first arrived. I felt we couldn't use the property because of the wedding.

Review 22：I liked that I could walk out my door and be a few short steps to the beach. It was really nice having a kitchen which comes with everything you need to make a meal. The staff was very nice.

Review 23：The grounds keeping was a bit long (and noisy) while we were there. (In addition to the usual maintenance, they trimmed the bushes between the pool area and beach the day after they did the usual lawn work.)

Review 24：Quiet. On the beach. Comfortable apartment. Wifi & parking included. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds.

Review 25：I don't have anything negative to say!

Review 26：The staff was VERY helpful and friendly. Great location, beautiful pool & private beach. Room was clean & spacious. Having a full kitchen was incredibly convenient! If I am ever back in Delray, I will absolutely be staying there! I would highly recommend Wright by the Sea to anyone visiting!

Review 27：Not enough shade around the pool.

Review 28：Loved the beach cabana and easy access as well as the privacy. Property was very clean and well maintained. Staff was always available. Close to restaurants and shopping.

Review 29：Nothing!

Review 30：I loved the welcome at registration and the relaxed kind of old-world feel of this lovely place. The outdoor pool and the beach front location were over the top wonderful!

Review 31：We had the worst room in the place, I think. The rooms are in need of refurbishing, it looked tired. And the decor is old. The room we were given was 101. Do not take that room. We got the worst night sleep. It's located on the corner with people walking passed our dining window to go to utility shed right next to our living room. The bedroom overlooks the garbage cans and the next door hotel had their air conditioners located just over the bushes. We need to close the blinds in most of the unit. Our unit air conditioner was very loud also. We checked out a day early. The staff was nice in that they would have given us another room, but the damage was done. I was ready to go home. They refunded our last day which was very nice considering.

Review 32：It's in a wonderful location, on the beach in Delray. The grounds a nicely maintained, except maybe the pool could use some attention. The office staff was very nice, in that they gave us a refund for the last day because of room issues.

Review 33：How friendly how helpful and how everything was so available to us.such as laundry,the beach and how relaxing the area was. Thanks

Review 62：Perfect location, right on the beach (and for us near by grandparents assisted living home). Perfectly nice, not fancy and good value for the price

Review 63：NOTHING!

Review 64：WE LIKED THAT IT WAS AWAY FROM THE HUB BUB OF THE MAIN AREA OF DOWNTOWN DEL RAY. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN COMPARE TO WALKING OUT YOUR DOOR RIGHT TO THE POOL AND BEACH. VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. WE HAD OUR 6 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WITH US AND HE LOVED IT! WE'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!

Review 65：The walls were not as sound-proof as we might have liked, but that didn't disturb our visit.

Review 66：Our experience at Wright by the Sea far exceeded our expectations. While the rooms are somewhat dated, the cleanliness, exceptional location and friendliness of the staff, more than made up for that. The pristine beach, heated pool and gorgeous landscaping allowed us to enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation in a tropical paradise. We will definitely be returning and recommending it to all our friends.

Review 67：One small thing was that the kitchen was only big enough for 1 person but we didn't mind because we spent all day outside anyways.

Review 68：We had a fantastic stay at Wright By the Sea. The property was beautiful and immaculately maintained. The units were clean and tastefully decorated with a beach/sea theme . Our unit was just steps away from a very big pool that was heated to 88 degrees and the sandy beach was also right there. At night we BBQ fish and steak and sat outside in the covered hut which was all very well maintained. The staff and other guests were very friendly. Also, with having a toddler and a baby, it was very convenient to have free access to a washer and dryer. We would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to return.

Review 69：There wasn't anything that we disliked.

Review 70：Very comfortable, friendly hotel with great location. The kitchen was well-equipped, including a dishwasher. Nice view of pool and ocean. We found everything we needed including a full-length mirror.

Review 71：Kitchen area needs updating. It was inviting enough for me to cook, so Ididn'T. I also questioned how clean the whole was. Tea was in aZiploc bag that seem to be asset last a year old. Recycle container hadsome stuff on it that looked like poop. Loose ceiling tiles and it'sreinforcement hanging down. Dirty shower curtain. No do not disturbsign. Housekeeping didn't identify self before trying to enter myroom. I had to Break my rest to tell her my room was ok.

Review 72：The opportunity to make my own meals if I wanted. Also liked it scloseness to the beach.

Review 73：Checking in a was a bit difficult because they were temporarily understaffed.

Review 74：It was very well equipped and mMuch more than just a hotel room. It was a small apartment and I wish I had more time to spend there. The beach was lovely.

Review 75：That we did not book our stay for a longer period.!!!

Review 76：Very pleasant and helpful staff that made our stay so enjoyable. They upgraded us to a one bedroom from studio due to cancellation . The amenities , such as parking, pool, basketball court, ping pong, shuffle board and outdoor cooking made our stay so much more gratifying.!!! T

Review 77：What bothered us was that there were black hairs in the sink and when we went to take an extra blanket, there was sand inside it. It made us feel as if true cleanliness was not a priority. We know the rooms are cleaned after someone stays in it, but is it cleaned again, even surfacely, before the next people occupy the room?
