I chose this Best Western because of their reputation and past visits. But this trip was even better. The staff, and I do mean ALL of the Staff were "Off the Chart" AWESOME!!! They truly made me feel at home, safe, and valued. "Thank You All."

18.4/10 Exceptional! (11 reviews)
The house is absolutely beautiful- renovated to an amazing standard. The bedroom was small with no wardrobe and limited storage space. It like staying at someone’s house - so no control over the ac and no control over others coming and goings without the comforts of hotel soundproofing etc. If you were hiring the whole house it would be amazing. But it’s like a very nice Air BNB - you get a room in someone’s house. Also no human contact- my husband was convinced we were speaking to AI at all times. Also the Harbour room which we had faced the street and was very noisy.

The hotel is beautiful. Location is perfect. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it. We had the king size bed and literally melted to sleep, it was so comfortable.
