We stayed here both before and after our cruise out of Miami, and were very happy. The hotel is…read morein a part commercial, part industrial neighborhood, But there were no issues whatsoever. There is a good amount of shopping in the general area. There are also lots of places to eat nearby. There is a waffle House, right next-door, but unlike most waffle houses, it is only open from 7 AM to 9 PM. The food is very good. Standard waffle House grub.
Everybody at the front desk was absolutely wonderful. If we needed anything, they would help us. It is an older property, but it is very well kept. The room and the bathroom were spotless, the TV got a good picture, and the beds were very comfortable. There was a microwave, and the fridge was larger than your average hotel fridge, and it even had a small freezer The Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream , video, although there were a few minor, occasional hiccups. Overall, though, very good.
The only issue that causes me to drop a star, was the bathroom. On our first stay, we noticed that the toilet sat very low, and that there was no bar or anything to help a person stand up or sit down. If you are an older or taller person, that could possibly be an inconvenience, or even a safety issue. It was a bit difficult for my partner, but not to the level that we needed to ask for a new room. On our second stay, I noticed that both the water temperature and water pressure in the shower Would fluctuate a bit while I was taking my shower. This could possibly just be that the pipes are older. The water pressure or temperature never fluctuated to an uncomfortable level, It was more of an inconvenience than anything else..
Overall, We were very happy with both of our stays. The price was very reasonable, and if you join the Best Western rewards program, you can earn points towards stays. If you have status with another hotel chain's program, Best Western will match, your status.
The hotel has a guest Laundry, a pool, an exercise room, and snacks and drinks for sale. The free breakfast in the morning is very good They have a pancake machine, eggs, and breakfast protein, hot and cold cereal. Etc.... A few mornings, , they had what I refer to as "dirty" or "messy" scrambled eggs. They are called that, as the eggs are scrambled with Goodies inside. Think of the dish "dirty rice." This is the same idea. They were very good. My partner is normally not a fan of "hotel , scrambled eggs", but she really liked these. She said they were very good.
We like the property a lot, we would gladly stay here again the next time we are passing through Fort Lauderdale, Thank you.
