So many excuses from this staff. Our room floodedand we were moved to another room. The rooms were dirty and had spiders. No shampoo or conditioner and the iron was broken and they wouldn't replace. Joke of a hotel.

We appreciated that the rooms were newly renovated and we enjoyed the breakfast. It was also nice to sit out by the fire in the courtyard in the evening. Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness of the bathroom. You can smell mold as you approach the bathroom and the corners were moldy. We had family staying in a different room and this was not unique to our room, as theirs had the same issue. We also found some items like a package flossers left among the towels from previous guests. Staff was very friendly and it is nice to only be a short walk from the beach.

Did not use continental breakfast, but all other amenities were great and convenient, especially the laundry. Both of the two queen beds were great. Very large television in the room which was great for watching movies, plus the television offered access for external streaming (ex. Bluetooth connection to it). No complaints.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was not as described. It was more like a motel room than a hotel room. The bed was very uncomfortable. The bathroom was extremely tiny and hard to get in and out even for a 9 year old. No swimming pools or hot tubs at this facility. The property is actually worse looking than the country inn next door but way more over priced than the country inn. I was very disappointed with this place. I’m never going to stay at any best western ever.

Great place to sleep. Good breakfast bar. Gets busy though. I had to go to main desk and ask for fresh towels and wash cloths. The room was not cleaned daily. Trash cans on property were overflowing at times. It was just an ok hotel. It suited our needs.

Stay was average. Nothing crazy. The breakfast in the morning was nice. My room didn’t have a shower curtain. So that was odd. But I let the front office staff know at time of checkout. Don’t think I would stay again, but it was just a place to lay our heads.

I loved the location, but the bathroom was really small and the curtains leaked water while taking a shower. So the floor got wet and dirty. The breakfast was mediocre, I wish they had more options.
