Dirty

Probably one of the dirtiest hotels overall that I’ve ever been to. Room wasn’t too bad (thank goodness) but everything else was absolutely filthy! Never seen so many cigarette butts in on the ground in one place…like the entrance has probably never been cleaned and the trash has never been picked up.

Nice, easy and convenient. Devin at the front desk was full of knowledge about what there was to do around the area. Breakfast was standard, wish it would have changed on day 2 but we still enjoyed it.

This was our 2nd time here. They are clearly understaffed. Staff tried their best but we couldn’t check in on time because our room wasn’t cleaned yet - waited an additional 90 before the room was ready (5p). Also, the condition of the hotel is run down and lots of peeling paint,etc. The room was clean once we got in there. Decent continental breakfast. Can’t believe they can operate legally without an elevator.

So so stay

Obviously an old hotel that’s had several upgrades. Had an outside entrance to our room and it was apparent no one checked the room before we arrived as we had to clear spider webs away from the entire doorway to get in. Room was comfortable, had the basics. Coffee machine hadn’t been used for sometime as it was filthy with general dust/debris. Plenty of parking. Pool was green and a closed sign was put up the next morning. Breakfast was ok. Served our needs, will likely look elsewhere next time in the area.

The property itself had the following issues: Room was missing 2 sitting chairs as advertised on Expedia & toilet was super low and leaking. Pillows were super small and mattress was worn out! Overall room had a musty smell. Pool was not clean and odd location facing parking lot. Surrounding area, all dining closed by 8 or 9pm which made stay in a downtown area inconvenient. We will not stay at Best Western again.

Good stay and location

Girls trip!! Overall decent stay. Pros: good location near food, beach, etc. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was included in stay and was good. Cons: room had a very musty smell to it. Mattress was a little firmer than what I prefer but it worked. Instead of full size pillows the beds had a couple small square pillows and a bolster pillow. Not a deal breaker though. Pool is right out front which is fine but to me it would’ve made sense for the builder to put it on the other end to make room for more handicapped parking as it only has 2 spots and they aren’t directly out front. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the room and it served its purpose as a place to crash for the nights. I’d definitely come back for the price but I’d just bring my own pillows.

Very clean. Staff was super, as they always are! Our bed was a little lacking on this trip, which is my only knock. Double beds were small; I’m not tall and my feet were at the end. Mattresses were a little uncomfortable. We will still visit, without hesitation!

Clean and large room with a view of the water. Restaurants close by. SUPER nice staff - even gave us cold water as we left and held the door open. Late check out (12:00) was nice. I wish the pool could open earlier than 10:00 but I can understand the goal of keeping things quiet for those with rooms next to the pool. Oh, also great to be dog friendly.
