The staff was really nice and very helpful. The room was clean but the bathroom was very and needs some work. I loved the location but the parking was a nightmare. I really liked the hotel and it was just our bathroom that was not the best. I had a room with a view of the ocean waking up the the waves crashing was great! All the other rooms were really nice my son and his bride and a jacuzzi tube the room was beautiful. Parking is limited and if you have a big car you shouldn’t move it once you are there smaller cars have a better shot of having parking anytime.

We loved staying at this hotel it was really worth it. We stayed Sunday-Wednesday and they upgraded us to a partial ocean view for free. Honestly it was a really good view I figured it would be a small view that you really have to turn your head for, but no we could see the ocean clear as day from our bed. The breakfast was nice nothing you wouldn’t expect from a best western. But they have a second story seating option that gives great views of the water and almost no one was up there so it was really peaceful. We would recommend this place and would definitely go back if we were in the area again
