Being a native Floridian no longer living in the state, I stay at Blarney every time I go back to Ft. Lauderdale. It takes me back to the Ft. Lauderdale of my youth. Marie is fantastic! Rooms are great, clean, and big. The patio and pool are a bonus! A very relaxed atmosphere that is the Ft. Lauderdale Beach that I remember.
Stayed for the 4th Of July holiday. We have been coming to the castle for 20 years or so. Whenever were in town for a Dolphins or Marlins game. My kids call Marie, Ma Ma Marie. The coffee is always fresh and the kids love the doughnuts. We will be back in August. Check out the photos I uploaded on this site. Took some great pixs. You can even right ...
One of the nicest places we have stayed at. Very reasonably priced, very clean, very quiet, large apartments (like a home away from home), polite staff, great pool,beautiful grounds, close to the beach and restaurants (within walking distance). Marie is a wonderful host, she is very pleasant and helpful at all times. If you are planning to visit Ft. Lauderdale, this is the place to stay. We can't wait to go back again.
Stayed on 3 different vacations...Love this place....NOT your High Rise expensive Hilton, but All the Ammenities, Comfort, Cleanliness, and Friendliness and person could wish for a wonderful stay. Marie provides the comfort of her native, Ireland. A true treasure that still can be found in the 21st century!
We just returned from a week stay in Fort Lauderdale at Blarney Castle and were delighted. It dosen't look special and the place is old but nicely kept up.It was clean and roomy. The real attraction was the warm lovely lady that owns the place.She is always friendly and helpful and you will get the feeling you are part of her family, you will ...
We stayed here for just one night prior to a cruise (thanks to the Yahoo! reviews) and loved it. Our hostess was delightful, the room comfy, and the style...Well, we walked in, and I expected to see the Rat Pack lounging by the pool, martinis and all.
We were given terrific restaurant suggestions, and truly enjoyed our stay. Not fancy, but clean ...
I use to come at least once a year to the Blarney castle and it is the best place to stay in FL. You can walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. No party place since the guests are 60+. In the morning you get free coffee and Marie is the nicest person I have ever met. Always friendly and helpful. She has been running the motel for more than 30 ...

The 'Blarney Castle Motel' is a kitschy/retro/vintage little property in Ft. Lauderdale,'The Blarney Castle Motel'. Trust me, it's no castle! But it is like right out of that movie 'Slums of Beverly Hills' with it's mid-century modern lines and exterior stairways. So cool! (Um, our room didn't smell that ...
