We had a nice room with a wonderful view of the ocean. The staff was very helpful. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The indoor heated pool was perfect after a day at the beach. Our accommodations were perfect for our girls trip!

Location was perfect for what we were there for: a few days to relax, hit the beach, and not have to drive to go have a few drinks & eat. Loved our oceanfront room.

No bang for the buck!
The room smelled like someone just fried chicken in it. I know it is a studio and that’s fine but the smell was over powering as soon as we walked in the room and it didn’t get any better the entire weekend. The hallways to the room were extremely warm and also smelly. There is no direct access to the hotel from the pool area without having to walk all the way around to the elevator which is located outside the hotel in the parking lot. The restaurant is very old as is the hotel and it really shows as soon as you walk into it. There is no boardwalk to the beach and you have to walk in the loose sand through the dunes to get to the beach area. The rates that this hotel was charging is very close to the nice hotels on the beach so you think it would be somewhat comparable but to be honest they shouldn’t be charging as much as motel 6 because that’s what the rooms and the hotel is comparable to. There is an indoor pool and hot tub but it’s out in front in the parking lot in a separate building and it reeks of chlorine so bad your eyeballs are on fire when you walk in. The staff were super nice and helpful though and the bed was comfortable. The rates were definitely too high and I booked for two nights and the next night the rate dropped by almost $100! So disappointing to say the least. My overall stays at Best Western Hotels have always been very nice but this one really needs to be looked at because of the location and rates this hotel could be so much more!

This hotel was very clean. Front desk staff were nice and fast. Cleaning staff friendly and courteous. The only problem we had was with the restaurant in the hotel. The wait staff was unattentive, our waitress stayed in another section visiting with friends that were eating there. We noticed persons at other tables with a different waitress that were sat 15 mins after us had finished their meals before we were served. Needless to say our food came to the table cold.

Not the fanciest place but definitely not the worst. Loved that it is right on the beach! When room service came around all we needed was the trash dumped… when I told her that, she handed me a trash bag and walked away. I mean I’m totally capable of dumping trash… I just thought it was a little odd. Overall it was clean and quiet…. Just not as fancy as others.

When we first walked in there wasa cockroach crawling across kitchen counter. We went to front desk and asked for iron and iron board they said it should be in our room. We couldn’t find it so we called. They said they would call us back on where to pick it up. Never heard back.

The room had a horrible smell! It constantly smelled musty & moldy. Based on photos, we thought rooms were larger—-not SO. We booked this because we need a kitchenette due to health conditions (cannot eat out). 1 small saucepan 2 fork 5 knives 3 bowls 2 plated 4 glasses. I had to wash ANYTHING I used.LOVED being on the beach. Having one elevator for “each side” of hotel was weird & inconvenient. I thought the advertisement for this hotel was highly exaggerated. Will never stay here again. SMELLED
