We've stayed here multiple times, and it is always a pleasant experience. The staff is so helpful and friendly, the facility itself is always very clean, the complimentary breakfasts are amazing, and the rooms are always so clean and fresh with an included AC unit. Best Westerns are always our first choice and they are usually a very affordable option as well. Also, this one is very close to the beach, only a short walk away!

They ran out of towels. We got 1 towel for 3 people two nights. 2nd night we lost power for at least a hour. The TV cable did not work. The shower had hair from previous stay. The breakfast is nice plus though. The rooms have new furniture. And hardware floors were new. Fresh paint on the outside so it does not look bad on the outside.

The property is in poor condition, with problems concerning the hot and cold water taps. The bathroom is extremely small, and no cleaning was carried out the following day. Overall, it did not offer good value for the money paid. However, the staff were friendly and helpful.

We arrived 3 hours after checkin and the room we were assigned was a mess. Full of trash empty food boxes and not clean. We were told we could wait for a room to be cleaned. Our bathroom smelled like pee and was not updated like the rest of the room.
