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 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.

All the staff was phenomenal until the morning time. My son was in the room sleeping while we left to go get breakfast. We returned to the room and the cleaning staff (female) had opened the door and had it unsecured. It was hours before checkout time. Thankfully I had my firearm secured and hidden and it was still there. A few hours later we are approaching checkout and we are packing. My infant whined. Not one that would be alarming and didn’t last for a not even minute (20-30 seconds max) due to picking her up. The same cleaning lady knocked and immediately opened the door and said oh I heard the baby cry. The baby had already stopped crying before she even entered.
