“Beach scum”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

I am a platinum Best Western customer who unfortunately vacationed at this substandard motel a couple of times with my husband. This motel is NO LONGER within the Best Western family, which is why the name has been CHANGED. Best Western standards were not met & upheld, therefore this haphazardly managed company was off-loaded. Of the numerous horrors my husband and I experienced with this establishment, were being placed in a room with broken lights, toilet & bed!!, vomit on the bed skirt, dirty fridge, girls at the front desk flirting with my husband, and ultimately, the rear part of my expensive SUV being keyed: I guess due to legitimate, yet polite, verbal scrutiny and opposition to all of the problems, which made the vacation hell.

“Not a good choice”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

The room was clean. Reservation was a hassle, couldn't find us in computer even though I had my confirmation info. Booked for 3 adults and 1 child. Received 2 double beds which was good, but no blankets. Only 2 towels and 1 washcloth, 1 bar of soap and 1 small shampoo. Paid over $200.00 for one night to have a view of the cemetary instead of beach or poolside. Night time staff extremely rude. All night kids running up and down banging on the doors. The complimentary breakfast was good. Would not stay there again.

Room Tip: I would not stay there again. I would stay on the Seawall at Holiday Inn or another hotel.

“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

We spent 4 days at this little hotel and had a great time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pool was perfectly heated. Grocery store next door was handy. Good restaurants within walking distance. Ocean and fishing piers right across the street. Nice little breakfast buffet. We had a great time and will definitely go back.

“Good place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

We stayed for 2 nights in January for my birthday. The room was very clean and comfortable, and it was easy access to the Seawall and walking on the beach. There was a wide selection of breakfast foods, and the cappucino in the lobby was a plus! The back elevator was broken, but we were able to use the front elevator, and walk to our room. The king sized bed was very comfortable, and we had a great view of the ocean from our window. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we will be back!

Room Tip: Older folks might want to ask for a room on the 2nd floor, near the lobby, since the back elevator i...
