“BUYER BEWARE! Even travel agents get caught in traps!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2007

I am an experienced travel agent from the NYC area and will NEVER book this property again. It is my opinion that the management of Americas Best Inns on Federal Highway in Ft. Lauderdale employs shady business practices. After making repeated requests for written confirmation of a last minute booking, I recieved no response! I left my fax and phone number for Manager Sean three times and NEVER heard a thing!.

Because my client was unable to travel, I called 36 hours in advance to cancel the reservation. It was then that I was told of their 48-hour cancellation policy, highly unusual for a motel of this caliber (1 star) and the first that I had been informed of it. When the clerk told me that the manager would be in after 1pm that day, I again left my name and number and requested a return phone call. Having not heard anything by 5:15pm, I called back and was told that the manager had left for the day. (He apparently has no email address either)

When I finally tracked down Manager Sean today, he refused to cancel the room and repeatedly referred to the unusual cancellation policy that I had never been informed of.

I will continue to fight this unfair charge through my credit card company, the Better Business Bureau and the Florida Attorney General's office. But in the meantime...BUYER BEWARE!

“A total dump...”

I stayed here one night after arriving from a NY flight. THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING. The room smelled musty, the carpet had a huge "wet spot" as if someone spilled a bucket of water on it. There was a roach climbing the walls. The bed linens were stained and had holes. The pillows were very thin and felt worn out. There were no towels and soap in the bathroom. I had to call the front desk for towels and I had to pick them up myself. The towels were not soft but were stiff and rough as if starched. The hotel has a bar in the middle of the parking lot. In the middle of the night a bar fight broke out and Police had to intervene. Trashy people were hanging out all night drinking with their room doors open and music blairing. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

“OK but you'd be better off to keep looking”

My husband, children and I stayed at this hotel post cruise for one night. The hotel staff informed us that the hotel is close to the airport but it is not. This hotel is at least a 20 minute drive, more in heavy traffic away from the airport. The beds were comfortable and clean. The pool area was clean, the staff were pleasant. However, the toilet leaks, the air conditioner makes strange banging noises which the desk informs us are "normal". There is no clock(alarm or otherwise) in the room. The stair railings are very dirty and all hands should be washed immediately after coming into contact. The room is equipped with two towels, no facecloths, no extras, no soap, no shampoo. The dresser had two drawers both of which were broken and had fallen most of the way off the track and hung dangerously. Phone calls are billed to you whether the call is answered on the other end or not. The price is reasonable but there are closer and cleaner hotels for similar pricing.
