We enjoyed our stay at the Hillsboro by Sonder. It was clean, smelled nice inside and staff was friendly! Nice pool area and right on the beach! I didn’t like that you had to pay $15/day to rent a beach chair. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Good quiet location, private beach, pool and in-house dining and bar. Make this convenient place to stay in Deerfield Beach. It’s a pretty long walk to the pier and restaurants from this location. But it’s doable.

Great hotel depending who you are Its a beautiful hotel with private access to a section of the beach. However, it is secluded and not any shops or restaurant or public transportation around. So if you have a car and ready to pay 25$ per day or a big Uber budget, its perfect. If you want a more accessible area with more excitement than its not perfect. There is no vending machine and the only restaurant on site is very pricy and does not have a big selection. There is no shower curtain and only one glass panel, its kind of strange. But its a lovely hotel with nice staff and nice big rooms with a microwave and fridge. if you want to just sit by the beach and pool and relax you found your spot.

Pool towels are not abundant in supply. We paid for a late checkout but our key cards stopped working 2 hours before. The continental breakfast is pretty bland. For 4 days we had oatmeal, toast, bagels and Cheerio’s for our choices. On the 5th day, we had the choice of tasteless, slimy eggs, bagels, toast and Cheerio’s. No fruit of any kind . You have to rent the beach chairs and umbrellas . You only get them from 9-5 . We had a balcony and the door handle to open the sliding door was next to the night stand, which made it hard to go Out onto the balcony.

How can I rate a place when I booked and between the hotel& the 3rd party Expedia ruin my mother's day weekend. I paid for a trip a month prior and when I was headed there the said I had no reservations and there were no rooms. Imagine calling to said your flight was cancelled but you purchased grayhound tickets to still get there but was told you have no reservations. My mother& daughter vacation was ruined. Thanks for the memories 👎

If you want to enjoy yourself? Do not stay hear. Customer service and satisfaction is not part of their mission statement. Rooms are designed by an artist not an architect. No drawers, no closet. Tv on top of you! Sand everywhere! The processes are so annoying you have to have your credit card available for everything no room charging... everything's a pain in the ass. Good luck getting fresh towels that was a 2-hour procedure. I get it the world's all technology now but if I'm in my room at a hotel I'm not going to an app to try to get something done. I want to talk to somebody which is not the way they do things. Finally the continental breakfast starts at 8:00 a.m. what is that? I had a business meeting at 8:00 a.m. had to go to a gas station for coffee.

Great small hotel, only thing i would change is the overnight parking charge and obligatory valet parking, this was more of an inconvenience for us rather than beneficial, we had to wait for the vehicle and felt that going out was trouble, i would gladly pay parking privileges but ha e my own access to the vehicle without having to ask for it

No common areas, dirty. Accessible to the public with limited security at the front desk. Loud and very oddly shaped rooms some without windows!!! One of the staff members and the valet service staff were lovely but the others not at all helpful or well trained. The beachfront is spectacular but not the premises.

Our stay was great ! The only reason it wasn’t a 5 star rating was because they wouldn’t let us bring our cooler to the beach, the drinks are extremely expensive, and check in took a little long. Other than that the hotel is beautiful, the staff was very polite, our room was spacious and chic, and I love the access to the pool and beach!

If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay that is clean with VERY basic amenities BUT, is right on the beach, this is the place for you! The rooms are not equipped with phones to contact concierge. Instead, you'll have to download an app. There is no iron and ironing board in the rooms...you'll have to either go to the front desk to request one, or use an app. Water pressure in the showers is minimal, but it works! Lastly (and while this is understandable) upon my arrival, the hotel had to shut down the water for the day due to a repair. Then, after the water was turned back on, the key card system stopped working for approx. 24hrs! Therefore, the person at the front desk had to constantly accompany guests to their rooms in order to open the door for them. I gave this property a 5 star review simply because of the cost. For two nights, plus airfare from NYC, I paid less than $500.00 and it was right on the beach!

Huge room with a full ensuite off the bedroom. Huge living room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The only downside was the tiny balcony on the side. The room itself was well equipped and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great pool, excellent restaurant. Spotless clean everywhere. All in all a really nice place to spend a few relaxing days and nights.

I feel like I was catfished, the pictures were definitely a lot better than the hotel. It was just wore down… all the staff were always on the phones, most were less than friendly and rude. The restaurant sucked, very over priced food, that was just less than par. If it tasted good, then I wouldn’t have cared. The older waitress in there had me waiting for 30 min (no one else was working) for my pick up order because she had a “doctor appt and her health was more important”. When I went to the front desk to complain the girl, who was on her phone, told me to maybe ask for a manager because she didn’t know what to do. I hated there was no vending machines, there was no where to buy water. The location wasn’t great, there was nothing close. The beach photos were also way better than the actual beach. The showers were weird with a half “wall” type and no shower curtain. We ended up checking out a day early because it was just a less than great experience.

I booked a 3 nights stay here and thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hillsboro and the neighboring towns. The beach is right behind the resort and the pool area was very nice. However, the room was very dirty and the floors were not mopped prior to check-in. I didn’t get a room with a balcony and the windows wouldn’t open so the room smelled of mold and dust. The rooms definitely look nicer in pictures than in person. The common areas were well taken care of but I felt very uncomfortable with the room I was assigned, especially considering how dirty the floors were. There is a complimentary breakfast but the options are very limited and not filling. Overall, I liked the location but I would not return to this resort again.
