Bottom Line
The 54-room Best Western
Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port is a mid-range hotel near the airport and Port Everglades with all of the amenities and typical decor that's to be expected of the chain brand. Rooms are elegant and tastefully appointed in rich crimson hues, and are outfitted with mini-fridges,
microwaves, coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. There's an outdoor pool surrounded by lounge chairs and shaded tables and guests can utilize a computer at the hotel's business center. Other conveniences include an airport shuttle and free breakfast, but the breakfast
area lacks space and can get crowded and there is no free transportation to the port. There are several comparable properties from competing chains in the immediate area, such as the neighboring Hampton Inn or the Holiday Inn Express, so travelers might want to compare rates.

Average chain hotel attracts airport and cruise port guests on short stays
This hotel from the Best Western chain mainly attracts short-term travelers bound for (or coming back from) the nearby airport or cruise port. Decor is fairly bland throughout with typical chain furnishings, but clean and pleasant. Guests are greeted in a small, bright lobby that includes a handful of red armchairs. The breakfast area shares the same space and is filled with small wood tables and chairs and tan granite countertops, plus tropical artwork adorning the walls.
Guest should note, however, that the area is small and often gets crowded.
Location
Located near the airport and port, within a short drive of several restaurants and shops
The Best Western Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port is located in a lackluster commercial area close to Highways 1 and 95, with
restaurants and shops less than a 15-minute walk away. The hotel is a five-minute drive to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and about seven minutes to Port Everglades. Other nearby attractions include the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum, the Broward County Convention Center, the Broward Center for the
Performing Arts, the Galleria Mall, and the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, all a short drive away.
Rooms
Classic rooms in rich crimson colors with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers
Clean, elegant rooms have a classier
feel than one might expect from the Best Western brand, with crimson patterned
carpets, red accent walls, maroon armchairs, and mid-tone furniture throughout. All rooms have flat-screen TVs with cable channels, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers, plus free daily newspapers are offered. Bathrooms are standard, with granite vanities offering lots of space, as well as shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and a range of toiletries provided. Some rooms overlook a pleasant courtyard while others have parking lot views.
Features
Heated outdoor pool, free breakfast, 24/7 airport shuttle, and business center
The lovely outdoor pool is surrounded by a brick sun deck with tan
lounge chairs and shaded tables. A white fence around the area also adds some privacy. The hotel offers a free
breakfast that includes sausage, waffles, pastries, eggs, fruit, cereal, and yogurt. There is a 24/7 business center with a computer as well as faxing, printing, and copying services. The hotel offers
free 24-hour airport shuttle, but there is a fee for transportation to the cruise port. Other freebies include outdoor parking, Wi-Fi, daily newspapers, and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate that are available in the lobby throughout the day. There is no fitness center on-site.
