“Good Stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Booked this hotel as a pre-cruise stay.I call the hotel from FLL to request the shuttle, and the shuttle arrived in 10-15 minutes. The driver asked us if we were going on a cruise, when we answered in the affirmative, he advised us to sign up for the shuttle to the pier at check in. The driver also pointed out places to eat and shop near the hotel. Check-in went smoothly and we received our requested King room on an upper floor, facing away from I-95.
Our room was both roomy and clean, no complaints at all. The complimentary breakfast was more than adequate.We signed up for the 10am shuttle to cruise port, which did not show up until 10:20. It looks like the hotel farms out the shuttle service, which would explain the $8 charge. I like for my hotel shuttles to be both free and on time.

Thanks for taking the time to fill out a review about your stay with us, we are glad to read you enjoyed it. While in Peak season the property does hire a outside shuttle service to help with heavier guest traffic to both the Cruiseport and Airport.

“Loud inside and out - never again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Our room was extremely noisy because of location being too close to the highway. In addition, the bathroom light switch included the fan which was also very loud. Worst sleep I've had in the past five years. Shuttle to airport doesn't start until 6 am and had to spend $25 to get to airport (a 5 minute ride). Also, called ahead twice and they said they'd store a bag for three days for us. The night clerk said they did not do this and that they have no storage facility. The morning clerk said they would, but only if we were returning and staying at the hotel again -- cost over $240 for additional night. Ridiculous for this calibre of hotel, when you can stay at a four star on Miami Beach (directly on the beach) for $255! Luckily this was reserved though bidding on priceline, and we paid what it was worth! Will definitely not be returning to this hotel.

Room Tip: Ask for a reasonably quiet room, if there's such a thing.

Sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us, normally we do not have complaints from guest about noise but we will look into this and address. We also have our shuttle hours posted on our website because it is not a 24 shuttle service. Thanks for taking the time to fill out a review about your stay.

“They have improved a lot !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I am a picky person. This is my second time at this hotel. The first time was disappointing. My second time was awesome. They have improvised cleaning and service of this hotel. This hotel is new. They have the best prices in the area. Free breakfast. Internet access. They have modern rooms. I definitely go back.

“I would stay Again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

All things considering the area and for the hotel class it was a decent stay. The room was clean and comfortable. the area was great-close to the highway (right at the highway) shopping and eateries around the corner-The pool area was cool...
Flat screen TV but DO NOT expect to be able to hook up any video (HDMI, Video, etc) to it as there are no ports for it..

“Hard to be worse”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Shuttle was suppose to pick us up at airport. One hour and several phone calls later, still no shuttle. Just stand by the pickup spot and smell the diesel and gas fumes. What happened? This Best Western was using an outside contractor to pickup people IN AN UNMARKED WHITE VAN. The van would stop but the driver did not get out. He would then leave. This happened several times until the hotel figured out what was happening and gave him a paper sign and told him to stop AND GET OUT OF THE VAN AND LET PEOPLE KNOW WHICH HOTEL HE WAS WITH.

Once at the hotel and unpacked tried to use the free wifi. It didn't work. I went down to the lobby to get a password and that's when I found out the wifi doesn't work in certain rooms--- and we had one of those rooms. I was told we could move ourselves to another room WHERE THE INTERNET MIGHT WORK. No thanks. But I was told it does work in the lobby. Nope. It still didn't work in the lobby. I asked again at the front desk. I was then told I WASN'T SITTING IN THE RIGHT CHAIR IN THE LOBBY. I HAD TO MOVE 10 FEET TO A DIFFERENT CHAIR AND THEN WIFI SIGNAL COULD BE FOUND.

We were offered nothing for our clear inconvenience. You have other hotel options in the area. I would use them.

Reading your review I see you had some major issues with shuttle and internet. The hotel does use a outside service when in its busy season but that is no excuse and the internet is currenlty being worked on. I will however bring the comments to managements attention. Thanks for taking the time to fill out the review and for staying with us.
