“Beyond expectations !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

I recently returned from a week's stay at the Best Western Plus Oceanside and it was amazing! This property is, without a doubt, one of the friendliest, cleanest and best-maintained hotels that I have ever been in. The house-keeping staff are courteous and very efficient. Several times, throughout the day, I noticed employees sweeping the balconies and cleaning the pool area. Staff at this hotel really seem to enjoy their jobs - - and it shows! A special thanks to Azine, at the front desk. She was so pleasant and always had a beautiful smile on her face. The breakfast buffet, which was included in the price of this hotel, was excellent. Juice, eggs, bacon, cereal, bagels, waffles and so much more. Leila, the woman who works the buffet was very sweet. She is super-friendly and keeps everything running smoothly. I must admit; I was a little concerned about this property being on a busy street. But you do not have to cross it to get to the beach, and traffic noise was not a factor at all. This was my first trip to Ft. Lauderdale (hopefully not my last!) and I was not at all familiar with the area. However, the location of this hotel is excellent. No need for a car. Shopping, restaurants, and the water taxi ( a must do! ) are just minutes down the street. Be sure to go to the Bubba Gump Seafood Co. and the Oasis Cafe for great water-front dining !! If you are looking for a clean,welcoming and affordable hotel in a great location, this is the place for you.

Room Tip: Top floor, overlooking the pool was perfect!

“Pleasant stay - would stay again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

My husband and I were more than pleased with this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was a nice size and CLEAN! While there were a couple areas that I felt looked dated (the hallway and back stairs), the rest of the property was very nice. Beds were comfortable. Shower had a lot of power! Breakfast was very nice with a wide variety. Although you couldn't see the beach from the hotel, it was less than a 2 minute walk out the back door. I felt we got an excellent price for this hotel and we would definitely stay here again!

“Very nice experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012

Just returned from my stay at the Best Western Plus Oceanside and was very pleased with my stay. It is an older property but properly maintained. Noticed staff walking around and doing maintanance and cleaning on a daily basis. Lost my room key on day 3 and Kathy at the front desk was very helpfull and came up with a replacement. Had a problem with a toilet that would not flush properly and it was taken care of in a extremely timely fashion and this happened late on a weekend evening. Staff seems to enjoy their jobs and everyone always greeted me with a smile. Close to the water taxi, good restaurants and other activities. Starting my day with the free breakfast buffet was a nice touch. Nothing fancy but the food was good. Really liked the make your own belgium waffles with toppings. Rooms are very comfortable and the housekeeping staff does a nice job. Can't wait to return the next time I am in Ft. Lauderdale!

“Would Stay Again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012

The value of this hotel is the BEST there is. Close to the beach less then 1/2 block, great relaxing pool, the free breakfast is the best around. This hotel is walking distance to everything on the beach. Rooms were huge a lot of space, bed were slightly uncomfortable (they only complaint I have), staff were awesome, great resources for area attraction. The lounge area was a lifesaver for food and drinks. GREAT LOCATION for the VALUE!!

“Better than expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

The overall property was quite nice, but you could tell the building is old and weathered. The insides are very well kept and the rooms are simple but very comfortable. The beds have pillow tops on them, making them very very comfortable.

This hotel is barely a 2 minute walk to the beach. No it does not have a ocean view, but it is right next door to the Marriott Harbor beach resorts ocean front.

The bar at the hotel was very good. It needs a better layout and some table inside seating that isn't lobby-like. The food is simple bar food, but was well prepped and good. The pool area was very nice, but I wish there was a hot tub.

From this hotel you could walk to dozens of restaurants and beach side bars. That was the biggest plus, was everything you wanted to do was within walking distance.

The hotel staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. They provided extra change to wash clothes, and held our luggage the day our flight was delayed until 7 p.m. This gave us more time to enjoy the beach and not have to worry about our luggage being stolen or tampered with.

The one thing this hotel needs is a small shop to get basic supplies like bug spray, aspirin, and some snacks etc. I forgot to pack bug spray, and none of the hotel shops nearby had it.

Two biggest complaints:
The TV is barely even basic, with only 30 working channels.
The bathroom door would not lock.
