We chose this property because it was very close to the beach and it was in our price range for what we wanted to spend. we arrived at Ft Lauderdale airport and stayed two night here before our Carnival Cruise.
We took a taxi from the airport to Best Western Oceanside Inn (about $23.00). The hotel was typical for an older renovated Florida hotel close to the beach. Style was old and if you really looked you could see the layers of paint etc. but for us it was fine. We made our own arrangements direct with the hotel. (Rate was $161.00 for Thursday night and $215.00 for Friday night) The beach was a five minute walk for us. The room had microwave, refrig, safe, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Everyone from the desk to the housekeepers was wonderful and helpful. The have a free computer in the lobby connected to the internet. They have free Wi-Fi but location is a problem as our room was right across from the Sheraton and we could only pick up their secure network that we could not sign into. We did not bring an Ethernet cable which would have given us the free internet. (we mentioned something when we checked out and were told they would have lent us one - I would bring one if you have your laptop so you can get the free internet easily.) Food is pricey in this area but we ordered pizza delivered the first night and went to the marina (very close by) for dinner the next night. There is a trolley bus and water taxi available at the marina across the street. There was a FULL breakfast in the hotel lobby that was as good as the buffet on the ship and served from 6:30am-10:30am and they were still replenishing the eggs at 9:45am. We really liked this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
