Definitely get a room with a few of the ocean. This place is a real gem! This best Western does not come with breakfast. But it has a restaurant that has a very good breakfast for a reasonable price.

We stayed here with our kids during spring break and had a decent experience. The best parts were the easy beach access and the ocean-view room (definitely worth the upgrade). The two hot tubs and indoor pool were also lifesavers—especially on colder days when the kids needed entertainment. Another plus was the short walk to a nearby park and the pier, which added some variety to our outings. That said, the property itself feels tired and outdated. The bathroom was cramped, and the aging decor made the whole place feel worn. My biggest complaint, though, was the smoking area right by the elevator. Every trip to our room meant walking through a haze of smoke—not ideal with kids in tow. The hotel should really move it to a less-trafficked spot. One other letdown was the food at the on-site Pancake Factory. The taste and presentation were both below average, so we ended up eating out more than planned. Overall, this place works if you prioritize location and basic amenities, but don’t expect luxury or great dining. With a few upgrades and better management of the smoking area, it could be much better.

Nice little place

The place was in a great location with easy access to the beach. Rooms were pretty clean. Beds were comfortable. Stove and full size fridge was super convenient. Areas around pools were clean. Outdoor hot tub wasn’t hot at all, but the 2 inside were. Only one elevator, but the place isn’t huge so waiting for an elevator wasn’t terrible. The staff were all friendly.
