Was double charged for my room. The clerk was helpful in taking one charge off. I have stayed at the Best Western and their breakfast was one reason I used them again. This time the breakfast was lacking the eggs were dried out and tasted odd. I was disappointed.

Great bed, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff. Only recommendation is bring some earplugs because the walls are a bit thin and people get up early to be on the water.
