The best thing about this hotel is that is right off of I-95 and close to the casinos. The rooms were okay, but I did find something that looked like roach larvae in my ice bucket. I later found similar debri in a cup that I was drinking out of with ice from that same bucket. When I woke up the next morning, I saw a roach crawling around on the bathroom floor. When I looked in the fridge to retrieve a beverage, I noticed a thick film of dirt build-up behind the fridge.

Positives: I liked the hotel's proximity to the casinos.

Negatives: Dirty ice, roaches, and dirt build-up behind the fridge.

We got two rooms as a layover to the Miami cruise port. The hotel was clean, close to the interstate and had multiple restaurants within walking distance. The staff was friendly, and we were very pleased with out one night stay. The breakfast was very good and saved our party of five some cash in the morning!

Positives: Comfortable, convenient to interstate, nice breakfast for the family. Twenty minutes to the Miami cruise port!.

Negatives: A very pleasant stay.

The hotel room and bath was clean. There was a flat screen tv, microwave and fridge in the room. For the price as a one night hotel it was decent. If I was vacation for a period of time it would not be my recommendation.

Positives: Room appeared to be clean.

Negatives: The area in which the hotel was located.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 30 Aug 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

I would stay again if needed.

Positives: Complimentary breakfast.

Negatives: Beds were very uncomfortable, plug outlets on one side of room didn't work, some of the workers were unpleasant.

For the most part, the hotel was fine. The cleanliness lacked somewhat, but it was conveniently located and had a very good continental breakfast.

Positives: The price was good.

Negatives: It was really loud being close to the freeway.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 26 Feb 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

We were very pleased with this choice. It was convenient to freeway, a number of local restaurants as well as a superb continental breakfast, and staff all seemed pleased to be working there.

Positives: Continental breakfast was excellent, many choices. Staff all seemed to enjoy their jobs.

Negatives: Thousands of birds in trees and power lines around the hotel, noisy and messy.

We checked out our 3 rooms before checking in at 1:30 am. The lobby smelled so bad with incense that we asked to check out our rooms. It smelled like they were covering up something. All 3 rooms stunk heavily with mold and dampness, plus they had only 1 double bed in each room. The horrible smell stayed with me for hours later. We've called customer service and explained everything. Now they are only refunding the 3rd night. We did not stay at the hotel at all. We had to find a new hotel.

Positives: The hotel outside lighting was nice.

Negatives: Mold in all rooms, did not stay, horrible, incense in lobby to cover smell.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Jan 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Overall, it was in a good location, with lots of restaurants nearby. A little loud by the highway, but it wasn't too bad. The staff was great.

Positives: Allowed us to check in early. Were very accommodating.

Negatives: View was of the highway. A little loud, but ear plugs were in room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 Nov 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel had very clean rooms with a nice size mini-fridge, a microwave and a flat-screen LCD TV. The hotel also had a courteous staff with an excellent price and location which was close (driving) to many attractions. It was definitely well worth the price paid through Priceline and I would recommend it to family and friends.

Positives: Convenient area and price with helpful and courteous staff.

Negatives: The breakfast choices, although decent, could be slightly upgraded.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 07 Oct 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel was very nice. Lots of nice upgrades. The continental breakfast was great and they offered a laundry room for all guests.

Positives: They had a laundry room for guests and a great breakfast included.

Negatives: The lobby had a overwhelming smell of air freshener that was like horrible perfume.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 04 Aug 2009 rated 6 out of 10.

I just needed a room to stay in a few hours to catch my cruise the following day. This hotel was good for that purpose. The staff was friendly. Its about $30 in a taxi from the airport. The room had a bad odor and no hot water.

Positives: Convenient

Negatives: My room had a mildew smell.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 27 Mar 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

For a over night stay it wouldnt be bad. Not too close to anything in walking distance and did not feel very safe out side of the hotel after dark.

Positives: Room was clean.

Negatives: Location was not in a good area. Pool needed attention and was not heated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 21 Dec 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel was excellent. The staff made the stay here unbelievable.

Positives: Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Negatives: Fragrance used in room was over powering.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 10 Mar 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Constant road noise, did not rest. Staff was clueless, could not provide us with directions to the hotel, which happened to be across the intersection. Debris floated into the tub when the water was engaged. Called front desk, they arrived with Windex to clean debris. Employee decided the drain was malfunctioning and proceeded to plunge the drain. NEVER cleaned the tub after using a PLUNGER or removed the debris. I am ashamed I rested my head on the pillow much less allowed my husband and young son. Doesn't get much worse.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Dirty, smelly, poor staff.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Feb 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Nov 2007 rated 6 out of 10.

This hotel was not up to the level I have come to expect from Best Western.

Positives: Room was up to par, and comfortable.

Negatives: Dingy public space; marginal location; plywood walls on elevators; Cheetah Lounge outside our window.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 20 Aug 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel public areas and rooms were very clean and everything appeared to be new. In-room internet and coffee were much appreciated. The staff was helpful and was kind enough to let us stay an extra hour after checkout because we'd overslept and needed to pack up. I need to stay in Hallandale about once a month, and I plan on staying at this hotel again.

Positives: The room was spacious and clean, and the staff was helpful.

Negatives: The beds could stand to be a little softer.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 13 Jun 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

It was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The price I was quoted on the phone was not what I was charged at the counter. When I said this, they said, "well that's what the ticket says". I asked for a manager but there was not one to be found, not even when I checked out, and I asked for one to call me, but it's been 4 days and I do not think it's going to happen. The entire non-smoking floor stunk of cigarettes and I woke up to huge bites all over my legs (which were not there when I went to sleep). It was terrible. I will never go back to another Best Western again.

Positives: It was right off of the interstate.

Negatives: It was in a bad neighborhood, it smelled bad, and bugs bit me while I slept.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 31 Mar 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Generally, a nice hotel. However, had 2 problems: bathroom door did not close due to poor job in remodel (door absolutely does not fit in the frame and needs construction to fix). Tub did not drain properly, leaving me to stand and end my shower in dirty water (unsanitary). I reported the problems but did not get resolution (I was told that at least the plumbing problem would be resolved but it was not in the 3 nights I was there.) When I checked out and complained about the situation, the clerk was not sympathetic (not even an "I'm sorry").

Positives: Bedroom, beds, wireless internet, exercise room, breakfast buffet.

Negatives: Bathroom, plumbing, bathroom door.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 23 Mar 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

Convenient location, great service, cleans attractive rooms, good breakfast, refrigerator in the room, comfortable beds. The immediate neighborhood was a bit seedy, but the beach and good restaurants and shopping were only a few miles down the street.

Positives: Hotel was right off interstate, had refrigerator in room, excellent in every way.

Negatives: The neighborhood was a little seedy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 16 Mar 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

Horrible, no way is it a 2 star hotel, in the ghetto next to a strip club. Hot/cold water reversed in shower, rooms were not cleaned, and cigarette butts on the floor, light wouldn't turn off in bathroom. Overall very disappointed and probably will not use again.

Positives: Nothing it was disgusting and a horrible stay.

Negatives: Next to strip club, nasty rooms, nothing worked in the room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 08 Mar 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

I loved the spacious room and the beds, nice soft sheets and comfortable. Internet access was free, fast, and easy. Bathroom was also clean; nice marble floors. The lobby & hallways seemed to have low lighting, and the elevators both had water on the floor (from the pool I assume) in the evening. But overall, a pleasant stay, and located right next to I-95 and 1 mile from Gulf stream Park, so it was very convenient.

Positives: Very comfortable beds; spacious room.

Negatives: Hard to find entrance from main road.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 Mar 2007 rated 3 out of 10.

I was disappointed to see the shabby exterior, location right on 95 and the awful smell when entering the hotel. Old musty moldy odor really a turn off. The staff was friendly and the room met my purpose (late arrival, early departure) it was a disappointment from my other experiences where I stayed in much better hotels for the same or lesser cost. Would not stay there again.

Positives: Rooms were clean and fairly comfortable staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The lobby smelled bad. Traffic noise from us95.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Feb 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

The room was very nice, very attractive, but the rest of the property was just so-so and too close to the freeway.

Positives: Best bed I have slept on in a hotel--room was very clean and nicely decorated.

Negatives: Too close to the freeway - noise all night.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 17 May 2006 rated 3 out of 10.

Too loud to sleep because of 95 traffic. Also, close to strip-club.

Positives: Convenience to Fort Lauderdale Airport.

Negatives: Smelly rooms.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 12 Mar 2006 rated 7 out of 10.

The free complimentary breakfast was good and area was clean. The hotel location area did not seem very safe although immediate access to interstate highway was good. The hotel seemed to be in a state of room renovation and lots of trash was dumped loose on the parking lot, fixtures, wood rather than placed in a dumpster.

Positives: Immediate access to interstate.

Negatives: Uncomfortable beds, bathroom fixtures in disrepair.
