Best Western on the Beach was the best choice for us due to literally being right on the beach and walking distance to a lot stores and restaurants and I can’t walk too far due to a health condition, but it was in the perfect location and the staff was super friendly and helpful!

Each and everyone we encountered was soo helpful and kind. Thanks for making our stay an excellent one. The food at the restaurant was also soo yummy.
