I had a great stay and appreciated the helpful and friendly staff very much! The decor inside the hotel and by the water is lovely and very well maintained. Although I didn’t have a chance to try breakfast, they had a good variety of options and the prices were very reasonable. I would certainly stay here again!

Room was very nice. Good location. Only knock against it was the breakfast. I didn't care that we would have had to purchase the breakfast, it was more about the options that were available to purchase. I don't mind paying for breakfast at all, but if I am it should feel more premium

Room and staff were great. The bad thing was, I thought all Best Westerns offered free breakfast…not this one! They offer breakfast, but it will cost you. Was not a fun surprise. For that reason I won’t be back, I’ll go back to staying at the Hampton or Home2Suites across the street when in town where I won’t have the added cost of paying for breakfast.

This hotel was clean and well kept. The only 2 things we did not like is that you are unable to have room temperature lower then 68 degrees even when you call regarding room being too warm and they do not offer free breakfast with room. They had a very nice outdoor area to enjoy. Pool was small and so very crowded and not enjoyable No hot tub.
