Front staff was wonderful. Room wasn’t clean, towels are old with holes, hot water didn’t work, furniture was filthy and dated. This hotel should be rated no more than a 2 star at best

Negative: The room coffeemaker was dusty They didn't have pancakes or bacon at breakfast as advertised. Would have liked a cut fruit tray. I am allergic to oranges. Positive: Easy access to outdoors for my dog.Spacious bathroom. Wonderful pool area and hot tub. I went in the hot tub on a cold morning and really enjoyed it. Beautiful palms to look at. I would book there again.

I wish all Best Westerns were like this.
My daughter and I had an amazing time at this hotel. This'is the only Best Western I'll stay in anytime I drive to Florida. Attached restaurant had wonderful salad and chicken wings. The pool is not heated so keep that in mind and the hot tub jets or not working but it was plenty hot. This place exceeded my expectations.

Last Minute Stay
We made a last minute stop off on a road trip from Chicago after 18hrs of driving. We were exhausted & just needed a place to rest. Most hotels within 30 miles were fully booked, and Hotels.com had this one left. It was actually much nicer than I anticipated. It was pretty on the outside, and the lobby was nice. The bathroom is outdated, 2/3 lightbulbs burned out and pillows left a lot to be desired, but it was quiet and safe. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was typical of a hotel.

I paid for the room in advance and the hotel clerk said I had to pay for an upgraded room because it's first come first serve. When I said that wasn't right, she said it was hotel policy but managed to get us in the same room without an upcharge. The thermostat was broken. We literally had to remove the cover to change the temperature and the ac was loud and clunky. The shower was cold. There were people hanging out in the parking lot.My husband said it was unsafe for me to take our little terrier out by myself.
