I rented 2 rooms for a 1 night stay. The location was great. Free parking on the premises was a plus. The staff was very nice and helpful. The property from what we saw was clean and well kept. I didn’t give a high rating on the cleanliness because I believe the A/C needs to be serviced and air filters changed. I developed a very bad allergy attack within minutes of staying in the room. We left for dinner and when we came back; the allergy got worse. I ended up having to go purchase more allergy medicine as soon as we left the hotel. I am very sensitive to dust, pollens, and mold and mildew. Everyone else in my family/ party was OK.

Upon arrival we noticed the lower quality establishment for a Best Western. We have stayed in a lot of Best Westerns. We would have been fine with the lower quality of room but what ruined the stay was the leaking swamp cooler/AC system. It was actively dripping onto the carpet giving the room a wet musty smell. I went to talk to staff and one staff member ignored me. The other was nice and offered to send maintenance. Maintenance came up and proceeded to tell me three times how it was my fault for using the AC. He said it was just sweat and to get a rag and wipe. He didn't even provide me with a rag to wipe it. So it dripped our whole stay. Walking on wet moist carpet did not feel good. It dripped on us as we passed by. It sprayed on us when the AC kicked on. Turning it off was not an option considering it was 99+ degree weather. Will not stay here again and will contemplate whether I would use Best Western again.

We were at the Best Western for 2 nights and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was amazing our room was a bit small it didn't look like what I had booked but it had a great view of the harbor and it was clean and worked for our needs. The heat was high and the air wasn't cooling as much in the afternoon (I have hot flashes lol) but one call to the front desk and maintenance was in my room within 5 minutes with a fan and the temperature was perfect. There was a small issue with the TV and the General Manager himself came out to handle it. Breakfast was great and tasted fresh. All in all I just can't say enough. Would I stay here again YES I WOULLDDDDDDD. Thank you guys for the wonderful experience.

I was able to check in early, which was really helpful, as was the gentleman at reception. The Jacuzzi and pancake maker were not operating, and the remodel looked a little worn for ware. It was a good price point, it offered free breakfast, and it had everything I needed for my brief stay; including a great location! It seems to be an ideal location for people taking a fishing boat charter out, as the marina is right across the street.

The hotel overall is a good place to stay. Plenty of parking and is within walking distance of the harbor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with our air conditioning not working properly and it was solved quickly. The room I stood in was one of the Smaller single room s facing the parking lot, it was just ok. The bigger rooms facing the harbor and pool seemed like it would have been a lot better. I had a peak when the doors were propped opened when housekeeping was tending to them. lol. I would consider staying again but book the bigger room.

I think when you use hotels.com you are given the worst room in that price category.

We book a room with a city view balcony for 2 nights over the 4th of July for fireworks on the harbor. We had a room on the first floor and the \"balcony\" was a little enclosed area looking at a parking lot exactly opposite the city. So next time for something like this, I'll book directly with the hotel chain.

Free breakfast was basic but fine. King room is quite cramped, photo doesn’t show how small it is, if I stayed again I would choose the 2 queen room. Check in girl on arrival was extremely rude but fortunately we only had to see her once, all other staff were amazing. Free parking was great and convenient and was nice to have a laundry.

I had a good stay at the hotel overall, but I do have two complaints.

First, whenever I ran the water in the sink, there was a very unpleasant odor.

Second, the bed was extremely worn out. You don't notice it when you're sitting on the edge, but as soon as you lie down, it feels like you're falling into a hole. I even tried sleeping on the other side, but it was exactly the same. The mattress definitely needs to be replaced.

The only things we didn’t like was the bathroom sink area was too small and the TV channel offerings were not good. I didn’t care for the stations.

Very close to MCRD and the harbor! Arrived at the hotel late and appreciated having Mona at the front desk and greeted us with a warm friendly smile! During our stay she was wonderful! Our room had a partial view of the harbor with two chairs on the balcony. It could have been a bit cleaner as there was hair in the sink and the furniture was really tired. The beds were firm and we slept well. The sheets were very clean! My favorite part was the morning breakfast included in the room rate. It had a great variety and was warm with different items the next day with an attendant present. The tables were always clean and it got a bit warm in there with all the people but the attendant opened the doors for a breeze! The pool and hot tub were also clean and in working order. Really appreciated the drive up drop off zone directly off the street. Couldn’t beat the price point and the great staff!! All in all, we would stay there again!
