I have been in contact with this property for 3 days to receive a refund I checked in at 4:30 AM by 5:30 AM. The neighbors next to us was playing loud music right beside our door (had a joining door) we ended up checking out at 9 AM because we could not get any sleep at all! Told the front desk about it they said that they would handle it. I called Expedia. They contacted the property and they keep telling us that the manager has to approve a refund yesterday. I called back. They said that the manager will not be in until today they are just literally giving us the runaround… it has always been a good stay, but I hope you do not have any compliance or needing a refund because they will give you the absolute runaround and not care.

Staff was awesome, view of the Gulf was amazing, the layout of the property isn’t the greatest, down some stairs to the parking area just to get to the beach area. Indoor pool area could use some up keeping was extremely dirty. Never seen 1 guest on my 3 night stay utilizes the Pancake house on site. Don’t think my family will be coming back.

Met the need.

Room was clean and sufficient. I requested a room with a kitchenette, but received a room without a mini fridge or microwave instead. There were zero empty parking spaces in lot, with no direction as to where to park.

Awesome. Comfortable beds balcony

We arrived around midnight and I was kind of concerned with it being so late. But the lady at the front desk was more than welcoming. She asked me my name I showed her my ID and she had us in her room and under 5 minutes. When we first walked in we was welcomed by a good smelling, clean looking, AC blowing cold room. The beds were more than comfortable. The balcony was a great added feature to view and listen to the ocean. There is an onsite restaurant that we chose not to eat it because we have eaten there before. It is also pretty good. The overall cleanliness of the hotel was great. Much better than some of the others in the area. I highly recommend you give Best Western a try if you're staying nearby. And I hardly ever leave reviews especially if they are positive so this hotel experience really wowed me.
