Staff was awesome, view of the Gulf was amazing, the layout of the property isn’t the greatest, down some stairs to the parking area just to get to the beach area. Indoor pool area could use some up keeping was extremely dirty. Never seen 1 guest on my 3 night stay utilizes the Pancake house on site. Don’t think my family will be coming back.

Met the need.

Room was clean and sufficient. I requested a room with a kitchenette, but received a room without a mini fridge or microwave instead. There were zero empty parking spaces in lot, with no direction as to where to park.

Awesome. Comfortable beds balcony

We arrived around midnight and I was kind of concerned with it being so late. But the lady at the front desk was more than welcoming. She asked me my name I showed her my ID and she had us in her room and under 5 minutes. When we first walked in we was welcomed by a good smelling, clean looking, AC blowing cold room. The beds were more than comfortable. The balcony was a great added feature to view and listen to the ocean. There is an onsite restaurant that we chose not to eat it because we have eaten there before. It is also pretty good. The overall cleanliness of the hotel was great. Much better than some of the others in the area. I highly recommend you give Best Western a try if you're staying nearby. And I hardly ever leave reviews especially if they are positive so this hotel experience really wowed me.

We had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the Gulf of America. The room was clean and provided a small kitchenette. Towels were resupplied daily and room tidied up. We were on second floor with both elevator and stair access. The elevator was more of a cargo type and slow. Ice machine and vending machine were handy. The indoor pool and hot tub are in another building which made for a cold walk back to the room. The access to that building was a bit odd. Parking on site is free. The beach was fabulous with sunrise and sunset views. One night was a bit rowdy with teens on the beach. The hotel has a pay for breakfast not included but convenient. The general area feels safe although the police were kept busy nearby.

Not bad for a quick 1 night stay before our condo was ready. Good location for those who enjoy close fun - lots to do around there for teens and children. For the amount of people that are in and out of there the place was in a great shape and clean.
