Best Western on the Beach was the best choice for us due to literally being right on the beach and walking distance to a lot stores and restaurants and I can’t walk too far due to a health condition, but it was in the perfect location and the staff was super friendly and helpful! We will be back for sure!

We love staying here. Beach access is great. Pools are great. I like having an indoor and outdoor option and two hot jet tubs available. The location to local attractions is convenient. The only thing I would suggest is either offering a free breakfast or improving the quality of the restaurant that’s onsite.

I was pleasantly surprised with my stay here. While it’s not The Ritz, my room was extremely clean and my bed and pillows were very comfortable. My room also included a kitchenette which was quite useful. The staff there are some of the friendliest hotel staff I have ever met, and the sweet owner is often there to welcome guests. Plus, it’s on the beach!

Very clean!!! Everything was very clean- rooms, restaurant, pool area, lobby, etc. I was VERY impressed with how clean it was. The only reason i didnt give 5 stars was because the outdoor hot tub wasn't working, but i believe they were in the process of fixing it. Also, the carpet in our room was a little grungy from being out dated, but not horrible. I would definitely stay here again for another quick, easygoing family getaway!
