Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Sadly, this is not the best Best Western. Plus points are the great location on the beach and a very friendly and helpful group of employees working at the front desk. Many guest who have stayed here say that the rooms are shabby and in need of refurbishment. There were also many complaints about the housekeeping staff and services. Several clients who booked a room with an ocean view found themselves overlooking the traffic on Collins Avenue. Some of those who complained were moved without a problem. Others were not so lucky because there were no more rooms with ocean views. YES, if location is the major concern. NO, it you want a modern hotel with smiles from the room cleaners and a hint of luxury. Read our customer reviews?
