We loved staying at this hotel it was really worth it. We stayed Sunday-Wednesday and they upgraded us to a partial ocean view for free. Honestly it was a really good view I figured it would be a small view that you really have to turn your head for, but no we could see the ocean clear as day from our bed. The breakfast was nice nothing you wouldn’t expect from a best western. But they have a second story seating option that gives great views of the water and almost no one was up there so it was really peaceful. We would recommend this place and would definitely go back if we were in the area again

The property was clean and comfortable. My room was beautiful with a great view of the ocean. Staff was very friendly. It does tend to be a little loud being right next to the highway, but the view is worth it.

All was as we expected-however we had a balcony that we did not enjoy due to guest not observing the no smoking areas. Perhaps more “No Smoking” along the front ramp signage would deter this..

HOTELS.COM LIES ANOUT YOUR ROOM

Our stay at the hotel was fabulous! The hotel was a lovely place to stay in a quiet area! The staff were very friendly and kind! HOWEVER, HOTELS.COM MISREPRESENTED OUR ROOM!!!!! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS TRIP!!! In Albuquerque we were supposed to have a Mountain View, we had an interstate wall view and it was noisy!! For this stay, we were supposed to have a beachfront room. We had a view of the building!!!! The hotel manager inform this happens quite often with HOTELS. COM. THEY SHOW PICTURES OF “UPGRADED” ROOMS TO SELL THE ROOM!!!! THEY TELL YOU IT’S A FREE UPGRADE AMD WHEN YOU GET TO THE HOTEL IT’S NOT THE ROOM YOU BOOKED!!! Unfortunately a beachfront room wasn’t even available for our first night. Luckily the manager was kind and gave us a beachfront room the second night. I WILL NOT USE HOTELS.COM AGAIN!!!!
