Short taxi ride from the cruise port. Perfect location for pre or post cruise stay. Steps from the beach, many restaurants and shops, lots of activity. Great area for walking. Only downside of this hotel was the air conditioning which hopefully they will look into, it was noisy, looked old and ran all night which contributed to interrupted sleep. On our second night, we left the door ajar in order to get some air flowing through. Pool side is the best location for a room. Good breakfast and on nice days pleasant to eat outside.

Spent six days in this well located hotel. The staff are helpful and everything is spotlessly clean. On site parking is a bonus. The included breakfast is plentiful and a reasonable choice of hot and cold food is available. The swimming pool is clean and well maintained. Will not hesitate to stay again.

The hotel may appear a little run-down (it is a Best Western after all, not the Sheraton (which is next door) or the Marriott down the street, but don't let looks deceive you. You walk the same path as the Marriott guests down the street do to get to the beach, which is probably about a 3 minute walk from the back of the hotel. The front desk staff is very accommodating. The included breakfast has the most items I have ever seen in a hotel breakfast - the food is spread out nicely, so there are rarely any crowds at any one station. The food choices also rotate, so you don't get the same food from one day to the next. None of the rooms have an oceanview, but you may get a sliver from the shared balcony (basically the balcony is a shared walkway) depending on which side of the hotel you're on. The locks on some of the balcony doors are questionable, so just a warning if this is a concern. The pool area never got loud when we were there in November. Parking spaces at the hotel (for a fee) are very tight. There is a small bar/lounge in the hotel which offers some room service items. Overall, a good value for what you get. Also, thanks to the previous poster who warned of the construction work next door at the Sheraton and the tip to request a room on the opposite side of the building.

This hotel was recommended sight unseen. For the price and location, it was an excellent choice. The rooms were very clean, a hot breakfast was included, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is old in areas, but it looks like they are updating the areas a little at a time. The bathroom was a decent size, very clean, the beds were comfortable. This was a 2 day stop before cruising. We were within walking distance to the Jungle Queen, the water taxi, a store and a restaurant. The beach was within a 5 minute walk. And the trolley stops nearby to take you downtown to the beaches and restaurants. Well worth the money
