We stayed at this hotel several times many years ago and it was wonderful! However when we pulled up this time, we realized how run down it had become. Total disgrace to what it had been 15 years ago!
Toilet wouldn't flush, & then backed up.
Air conditioner was broken. Only one Maintenance man, who also served as the person to help take bags up and down. He couldn't keep up with the demands put on him with other people complaining at the desk that their toilets were backing up also.
We felt very unsafe here.
Breakfast buffet is now "make your own"...used to be prepared by staff and they had the best French Toast anywhere in the world.
Very very poor quality hotel for the money. We checked out immediately and didn't continue our stay there.
This hotel needs to be leveled NOW and rebuilt or else leveled and the property sold to another company that can afford to invest in a quality hotel and staff.

I have been going to the Best Western for 10 years at the same week. I have hever met a more friendly staff. I reccomend this hotel to everyone. If you want to know about anything in the area, talk to Rose in the restaurant.........she is the best. As for hotel management, they are so friendly. Anything you want....it can be arranged

Just got back from my stay at the Best Western Oceanside Inn. Must say, I loved the proximity to the beach. Just a walk past the Sheraton and there you are on the beach--3 minutes tops!!

Room was nice..5th floor overloooking the pool, had a fridge and micro. Staff was very friendly and courteous. No problems there. Front desk was helpful in giving directions. Breakfast buffet was nice..fruit, cereal, toast, eggs, choice of meats, juice, coffee, etc.

The only "negative " thing I can think of is the parking garage. Read other reviews about this and I have to agree. Drove a Dodge Avenger and it was a tight squeeze to park. Just takes a little patience, that's all. Nothing you can really do about it.....

My first time to Fort Lauderdale was a great one; thanks Best Western..will definitely be back and highly recommend it!!

3/3 found this review helpful

Staying at the Best Western was nice. It was tucked in between the more extravigant hotels in the area right near A1A and the ocean. We were able to walk right to the beach but did not have an ocean view. I just went outside and walked around the building to go sit on the beach to wait for the sun to rise. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool was great and the patio was welcoming. We even were able to walk down Oceanside Road toward Las Olas Blvd and crossed over to A1A. It's definitely worth the stay since it is much cheaper than the Yankee Sheraton or Mariott.

We paid around $450 for a 3-night weekend stay. It was definitely worth the money! The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful when necessary. It is a short walk to the beach. There are other restaurants and shops within a short walking distance. Trolley stops are just steps away. The breakfast in the morning was a great bonus, too. The rooms are not 5 star, but worth what you pay for where you are staying! I would definitely recommend this hotel to people who are looking for a nice place to stay close to the beach on a budget.
