We loved staying at this hotel it was really worth it. We stayed Sunday-Wednesday and they upgraded us to a partial ocean view for free. Honestly it was a really good view I figured it would be a small view that you really have to turn your head for, but no we could see the ocean clear as day from our bed. The breakfast was nice nothing you wouldn’t expect from a best western. But they have a second story seating option that gives great views of the water and almost no one was up there so it was really peaceful. We would recommend this place and would definitely go back if we were in the area again
