Inn Leather Guest House-Gay Male Only

We stayed at the Inn Leather in October 2024. We were supposed to stay for a week, but left after 3 nights because the place was so dirty and poorly maintained. We had a room where the bed was very hard and kept creaking as soon as you moved. The smell in the room was strange, and the shower was broken and full of mold. Breakfast service was totally non-existent: only a watery coffee machine and a few cheap dry cookies. What a joke! The pool is dirty and the surrounding area is black with dirt, dust and soil, and the white plastic sun-beds are gray and broken. In short, no pleasure at all in staying in this place where people come and go without security. The reception staff would rather “play” with customers by the pool than deal with customer requests. This derelict place is to be avoided at all costs!

Terrible! This place is a dump. It’s sad, small and is poorly maintained. My room was unsafe due to unsecured fencing, poor lighting, loud noises, an uncomfortable bed, dirty bedlinens and towels, bad water pressure and a lot of wildlife. During my stay I had several flee bites, mosquito bites and bedbug bites and I also developed an eye infection possibly due to the dirty towels. I needed to checkout two days early on. A five night stay. My room also had several safety and building code violations, including unlicensed construction, plumbing and electrical; unfinished tile work in the bathroom has. Whole in the tile and also a lack of safety bars to prevent slip and falls. A big sling in the middle of the room, makes a small room harder to use-it is hard to avoid always bumping into it, creating a fire hazard. In addition - it is poorly attached and may not have the ability to safely support a man with an average weight. Room is in terrible condition- with two lightbulbs missing and a tv that did not work. The remaining light bulbs in the room were fluorescent bulbs, which hurt the eyes. The air conditioner runs cold 24/7, and is installed using electrical tape to keep it in place. The location of the Inn Leather is isolated - and the only food options are unhealthy fast food outlets - within walking distance. Had to wait until evening for my room to be ready- while other rooms sat vacant. Because of being bitten multiple times - I had to check out early- only staying three of a planned six night stay. Upon checkout, Doug the manager emailed me a fake receipt that does not match the receipt confirmation I had received from ******* and does not match my credit card statement. There are much better guest houses in the Fort Lauderdale area that are cleaner and in better condition.

A relaxing getaway. This place has a lot of charm and the price can’t be beat. I met some wonderful people and the owner was very nice and helped make my stay comfortable. I will definitely return. The rooms were nice and clean and the grounds were well kept. The pool was great and the water temp was perfect for as hot as the temperature was.

This was our first time at Inn Leather. We live in Fort Lauderdale and needed a break from work pressures, so we chose Inn Leather. The staff is great...very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and a good size for the price, which is 1/2 the price for what you get closer to the beach for the same thing. We used the Holiday Weekend in February to leave the computers at home and enjoy a weekend together and loved it. There are several good restaurants within walking distance of Inn Leather or many more within a 5-mile drive. We enjoyed it so much that we made our reservations for the same time next year before we left.

Doug, Tom, and Michael have created an oasis for our community. I have stayed at the Inn many times over the past ten years. I work in hospitality and I always recommend the Inn Leather to clients looking for a true Fort Lauderdale Guest House experience. You feel like you are well taken care of guest in their private home. The amenities can't be beat and are one of a kind. They style guest house is quickly being lost to these mega skyrise hetero dominated hotels. The Inn is a true retreat from it all.

I rate it 5 stars for meeting my expectations. I am not saying this is a 5 star hotel. It is men only. If you don't know what that means you should stay someplace else. One big downer was the ice machine has been moved to behind the front desk due to covid. The front desk closes at 5pm. Which means you can't get ice at night. I almost bought a small blender to make frozen drinks in my room. Good thing I didnt.. The covid panic is over, move it back out! Same with the hot tub, open it back up!
