Fodor's Review:

If you want a cheap stay in the heart of South Beach, and don't care much about service or a fancy room, the Best Western has five, walled-in, art-deco hotels for your choosing. The Kenmore houses the main lobby, a curvaceous room with block glass and tables for a Continental breakfast. Three others, the Taft, Bel-Aire, and the Davis, provide more guest rooms, and the Coral House next door houses a restaurant. The whole complex projects a no-nonsense vibe; for instance, gated entrances to the various hotels are chained off. A big pool in the courtyard is surrounded by plastic lounge chairs. Self-service is the best kind you'll get here. Pro: Cheap, central location. Cons: Small rooms, no frills, and spotty service.
