Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites

Good hotel for one night. If you are passing through or need to stay for a quick sleep. My room was clean and my rate was good through Expedia. They have your standard free breakfast etc. I think the key to this place is proximity to 95, rate, clean room and nice bed.

Gutes Airport Hotel mit schönen und großen Zimmern.
Da es direkt an der Autobahn liegt, fragt beim Check in nach einem Zimmer zur Seite zum Pool

For the price this is a perfect hotel for pre-​cruise. The room was clean and was upkeep well daily. The breakfast was OK, and you can probably find something to eat. All of the staff that we encountered were professional, warm and friendly. No hotel shuttle to nearby eateries so rent a car or use a cab. No very close places to eat. Will stay here again next time we cruise. Lots of free parking.

The shuttle driver picked us up at the airport and was very nice.
Upon check-​in I gave the lady my Best Western Rewards Diamond Elite card and the lady said they already had the info, but I have not received any of the benefits.
The room (521) is clean but does smell like its been quite damp for a while.
Overall the hotel is «ok» but not anymore than a cheap place to stay before a cruise.

only bad things was the internet was slow, so i just used my phone. everything else was very good, check-​in, room, was clean, and great price. would definitely stay here again. Vacation in the area evey year and will stay here every time when i have to fly out early the next day.

It’s not terrible, but for the prices they charge it isn’t very well kept up. I got a deal on hotwire for 200 bucks for a 4 star hotel — which was a little bit of a stretch. The room was big but the carpets were sort of gross and we had a lovely view of some dirt piles and construction sites.
It worked for what it needed to do — the bed was comfortable and the A/​C worked. I could shower– the bathroom was fine. The ‘free’ breakfast were those little microwaved egg hockey pucks, sausages, 50 people waiting for the waffle machine and individually wrapped muffins etc.
They charge 20 bucks a person to take a non-​private shuttle to the cruise port, saying that taxis will ‘take you the long way’ if you aren’t from the area. If you are traveling with two people there is NO way a taxi would be 40 bucks. I got an Über and it was about 11 bucks for all our luggage and us. I wouldn’t fall for the shuttle.

If I could rate this hotel a negative star I would do it! Upon entering the lobby I noticed the floors have not been cleaned as there were dirt and debris all over including the carpeting by the seating area. The desk clerks were nice and polite. Upon entering my room I observed dirt, stains and what appeared to be dental floss on the carpet next to the bed. I changed rooms to one that still had carpet stains and less dirt. The bottom line is this place is absolutely filthy and disgusting and really should be closed down and renovated. And it was not like it was a low rate it was absolutely crazy the charge for such a dump! There are other hotels in the area that are so much better unfortunately it was a busy time of the year that I recently stayed and should of booked a room more in advance to get a hotel that actually prides itself on a clean hotel instead of a dump!!!

I got double charged on my card for the room. When I called they said my brothers room was charged to my card as well even though he set it up on his card when we checked in. Why did they take my brothers card information if they were going to put it all on mine anyways? Lame!

If I could give this place a negative star I would. Let me start off by saying the staff at the front desk was nice. That’s was the best part. The room was suppose to be clean but was done poorly. There was a wet wash cloth still hanging from the shower, the throw pillows on the bed are dirty and the curtains and carpet are filthy. I’m scared to even fall asleep on the bed I pray there are no bed bugs. This hotel really needs to work on how they clean. I will never stay here again and to pay $ 299 for the night this place is not worth it. I’m gonna have to be drunk to enjoy my valentine night here before my flight back home tomorrow.

First of all we waited over an hour at the airport for our shuttle. We called the front desk three times from the airport and they said the driver was on his way but stuck in traffic. We had a private van reserved for later in the day and called him and he was at the hotel. We asked if he could pick us up at the airport, he said yes, and made it to the airport in about 10 minutes. We never did see the hotel shuttle.
We made our hotel reservations in September and asked for two beds because there were going to be four adults staying in the room overnight. When we checked in there was one king bed in the room. When we talk to the desk all they had left was a room on the smoking floor even though we don’t smoke and requested a no smoking room.
The deadbolt on our room door didn’t work and the bathroom door wouldn’t lock, which isn’t a big deal but it’s just another thing that was wrong.
Very disappointed with our stay, we had actually stayed here before and things were okay. We won’t be staying here again.

Awful experience. I know it’s a best western so my hopes were already low but Jesus this place is like a haven for awful people that must like cruises. I haven’t even checked into my room yet and it’s so bad that I already had to review. How could something be so bad without even seeing the room you ask. How about waiting now going on 4 hours for them to clean the room so that we can get into it?!! What’s worse is that they’re not providing any updates and we’re forced to wait in hard brown chairs. I think we’re about to cancel our reservation and just go elsewhere. I suggest you do the same

We stayed at this hotel for one night the other weekend during our stop over at Fort Lauderdale. The airport shuttle was on time in picking us up from the airport. We arrived at the hotel way before checkin time so we passed the time by staying in the dining area. I liked that they had cold lemonade out and that hot water was available too.
Our room itself met my expectations of what a hotel room should be. It was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and there was even a small fridge hidden behind a wooden door.
On the negative side, the Wifi was extremely weak in our room and the hot breakfast offerings could be improved.

I don’t know where the so called «Plus» fits in here it should be called Worst Western Minus. Stood here with some co workers for about 2 weeks during our stay 2 of my co workers had items missing from their rooms when we told the staff they seemed unconcerned with our complaints when the matter of making a police report came up we were offered a free nights stay in order to compensate for the loses (no one wanted to stay an extra night free or not) the house keeping staff is lazy, at times we had to go to the lobby to request clean towels as they would actually refold our dirty ones and make our beds with the same sheets even when we would request new ones. Needless to say we will never stay in this hotel again!

Free shuttle? Yeah right. I called the night before to secure my shuttle to the airport and I was told come down 5 minutes beforehand.
Really? I said. Yes, 5 minutes before.
Great! Had my breakfast which we shotty to say the least.
Then at the Front desk I was told that shuttles only leave every hour and I could take a taxi instead. The «express taxi» charged my $ 20! For a 10 min car ride. Please. He didn’t have a taxi meter and I come from Philadelphia where I wouldn’t be charged nearly as much.
Agree with other reviews about this so called gym they have. I was afraid to use the 3 pieces of equipment due to loose and broken items on the machines.
This is my 2^nd terrible experience with best western. I tried a «best western plus» this time. Just as disappointing.

Truly enjoyed my stay here. It was only for a little bit but the staff and room was great.

What can I say about this place that isn’t negative? Almost nothing. From the nearly impossible to find access road (if you miss it you have to make two U-​turns and drive back under I-​95 twice to try again), to their rude staff, this place has next to nothing going for it.
Firstly, I would like to point out that I am writing this review from my phone, because this hotel has no Wi-​Fi. That’s right, you won’t be getting any work done here unless you brought your own ethernet cable.
The carpet in the rooms feels damp and reeks of mildew. The couch in my room had what appeared to be bloodstains on it.
The «fitness center» they advertise is a small room with two treadmills and a pull-​up bar. That’s it.
If you manage to wake up early enough to get some of the continental breakfast, realize that just because the printed sign for the day says bacon, that doesn’t mean you won’t be told «No bacon!» by the Spanish-​only-​speaking breakfast staff.
I typically stay at the Springhill Suites on the other side of I-​95 when I’m in town, and considering the price is about the same, it’s a much better value.

Slowest internet speed ever. I’ve stayed at countless hotels throughout the world but I have to say that the internet speed here has to be one of the slowest. Speedtest yield 0.13 Mbps download and 0.63 Mbps upload. Good enough for email but that’s about it. If you want stream any videos or load high graphic webpages, be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait.
No security box in room. Although they do offer a guest safety box for valuables… not sure where though. I think giving your valuables to any staff member pretty much defeats the purpose. The primary reason for me to have a security box in room is to protect my valuables from hotel employees.
Warning signs everywhere regarding credit card scams. This was not very inviting.
The hotel sets the room/​hallway temperature to 60 degrees F, at least on floor 3. It’s super cold here. I had to turn the heat on in the room intermittently to compensate and it’s 85 degrees outside.
It is located in a corner with easy access from the freeway but difficult to get back on it. Be prepared to make some U turns.
Breakfast was blah but you can’t expect too much when it’s complimentary.
The only reason I stayed here was because a great deal on Orbitz.

It’s easy to miss even with GPS, but it’s comfortable, quiet, and reasonable. The free breakfast was decent. Front desk was very friendly and helpful, and recommended Las Vegas Cuban restaurant across the street, which alone is worth the 5 stars.

Copy and paste Goodaysf H’s review…
Would stay here again, great location to all places in South Florida!

This was perfect for my needs and the price was right. I usually use Priceline, but I booked directly on the website for 51.00 a night (May 22 – 23). I arrived on the redeye so I had to pay for the previous night so I could go to the hotel and sleep. I called ahead so it was no problem. The room was large and clean. It had a fridge and a microwave. When I arrived, there was a free breakfast being served. Cereal, make your own waffles, egg puck things, very crispy, crispy bacon, and bread things. I ate a quick bowl of cereal and went to sleep. I slept great. My only complaint was that the room was a bit stuffy and the air said 68 °F, but didnt feel that cool.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is decent. There are a lot of dining options close by. I know the area well so it was perfect for me. Close to the airport too. Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine is right across the street. They have great food.

This is listed twice, and I already wrote the review for the «other» one, but this is the one I checked into apparently, so here we go again!
Passable for the price. Decent place to crash after arriving on a late flight to FLL. Expect smokers — we were close to the exit and could smell smoke from the parking lot, and there are always smokers around the entrance in the morning. Hey, it’s Florida, not California, what do you expect? Room was clean enough. Small bathroom.
I actually look forward to the waffle breakfast in places like these — there’s something mesmerizing about that flippy little waffle iron with a timer they always have. A waffle with peanut butter and eggs on the side is a nice way for a veggie to fuel up for a long day of driving.
Ok place to crash after a long day of flying, but I wouldn’t make it my home base to explore the Fort Lauderdale and Miami area. d
