My Mom and I come here every year for the last 5 years for our annual Mother's Day trip. The first year we were here we were so amazed and really felt the place was a gem and well worth the price. 5 years later they have increased the prices so much that I am not sure if we will... More

This Best Western shouldn't be called a 'plus' the only plus was the stunning beach views. We had a first floor room facing the water, apparently the bottom floor rooms are pet friendly. Carpets in the room were disgusting, we were afraid to sleep in the bed, the room smelt musky and wet. It just didn't feel clean. Bathroom was... More

This is my third time here and for the most part I had another great experience. My husband and I were celebrating our 1st anniversary and when we got to the room we found a complimentary bottle of wine from the hotel. This was very nice of them!

This place is a gem. Don't let the looks fool you. Yes the outside looks like a beach hotel in a beach town but once you enter it is amazing. The staff was wonderful, the view from the room was breathtaking (or from the bar or restaurant) and utterly relaxing. My only complaint was that the staff didn't inform us... More

My wife and I have a history with this hotel. We got engaged here, and we spent two nights of our honeymoon a year later at this lovely hotel.

First, the ocean-side rooms are quite wonderful because they literally overlook the beach and ocean and you hear the pounding surf--lovely sound to sleep to! Second, the location is quite convenient to most things a person would like to see in the area. Third, the lobby and lounge area (right off the lobby) are very nice with delightful views of... More
