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.
