We would stay here again. The rooms are super Clean, the location is right of the high way but it’s quiet, the location is a 30 minute walk to the boardwalk; 5 minutes if you drive. they have private parking. Also, we really enjoyed the complementary breakfast especially the waffles, nothing fancy but enough not to have to go elsewhere and spend money.

I booked for 2 days with my daughter. Breakfast was offered from 6am-9am, however , I was still allowed to get coffee and some fruit as I checked out at 1030am. Staff were nice and polite and helpful. The receptionist that was on duty when I checked in was able to accommodate me to another room as my room was towards the front and I felt was too noisy. She was kind enough to change my room with no problem. Great stay!

There are some things that I did not like that I would rather not say but best Western is aware of my complaints. I will say this there was two situations in which I needed maintenance to come to my room to fix a plumbing issue and the first time it took maintenance an hour and a half to make it to my room and on the second occasion, it took maintenance over two hours to make it to my room. And I get it things happen but an average time of one hour and 45 minutes before maintenance gets to your room kinda unacceptable. I’m not here to complain and just leave a negative remark. I will say at the gym on the facility is very nice and the young lady whose name I forgot who checked us in on Monday march 30 at around 3:30 was very nice and had great customer service
