Gulfstream Hotel

Frommer's Review

Just over the bridge from glitzy, glamorous Palm Beach is Lake Worth, not exactly a hotbed of activity; nonetheless, this sleepy enclave is peaceful and very popular for no-frills relaxation. The only game in town is the Gulfstream Hotel, a historic property on the Intracoastal Waterway with rooms that are comfortable, but nothing to look at. The pool here is functional but, again, nothing to look at. Perhaps the most appealing feature is the lobby, reminiscent of an old Deep South hotel with high ceilings, paddle fans, and free cookies at the check-in desk. The focal point of activity is the restaurant, Daniel's Lake Ave. Grill, a comfortable wood-floored dining room serving excellent seafood, meat, and pasta dishes; it transforms into a veritable disco on Friday and Saturday -- the only form of nightlife in town. If you're looking to experience the Palm Beaches casually and comfortably without feeling like you have to get decked out to leave your hotel room, the Gulfstream is a great option -- not to mention a bargain compared to the ritzier hotels over the bridge. Note: The Gulfstream was closed for renovations at the time of this writing in early 2007 and is expected to open sometime in early 2008.
