The location of this property being on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay and the view from our room balcony was the best. We enjoyed sitting out there and just taking it all in. A downside to that was our neighbors enjoyed relaxing on their balcony with marijuana and it was a little much at times (even though the property is 100% smoke free). The room was clean and comfortable (the floor could've been a little cleaner) and had a separate area for the fridge, microwave and coffee maker which I liked. We stayed 3 nights but only had housekeeping stop in one day and switch out some towels - we didn't have a door hanger in our room and I didn't call to request service so not a big deal. The daily breakfast is wonderful! Different egg and meat choice each day, waffles, cereal, breads, yogurt, fruit, juices and some good hot coffee. We definitely enjoyed the breakfast! This hotel is older but its in a beachfront spot, is clean with a great breakfast and a friendly and helpful staff - I would definitely stay again.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Best Western Plus. Our room was very comfortable for us. We loved having a balcony. And we could bring our dog. They have a dog park area which is well kept up and very handy. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. The staff is super attentive and friendly. Shout out to Van who made our stay very pleasant. Definitely recommend for a nice laid back beach vaca!

Find a better place

The room was dirty, my kids found trash of food behind the couch and also a vape in one of the beds. The walls are so thin that you can hear everything, we didn’t get any sleep cause the neighbors were loud and you could also hear the noise of the street because the walls are so thin. The only good thing was that it was steps away from the beach.
