Best Western On The Beach

Best Western On The Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The beds and showerheads are amazing. Rooms were clean and view of the ocean was breathtaking. Staff was friendly enough. Access to the pool and beach was kind of inconvenient as you have no access from the building you have to walk out the front door and walk all the way around the building. Door to the indoor pool and hot tub was locked so we didn't get to use. For the amount I paid, I will probably try another property next time. I don't feel it was a good value."

"We enjoyed our stay at the cabins in the park. The cabin was updated, clean and comfortable. Loved the trails and rode our bikes quite a bit. Took advantage of the guided hike (more like a stroll) but learned a lot and enjoyed it. The restaurant in the park is also good and convenient. Would book again."

"This is the first time we stayed at the Phoenix on fall break. To begin with we were staying Monday through Thursday but we had an unexpected death in the family and I had no trouble changing our stay to Tuesday through Friday without extra charges. When we arrived everything for the shrimp festival was being set up and the road in front of the condo was blocked off so we had to navigate around all of that, which the facility has nothing to do with that but a notification about it would have been nice. Check in by phone process was easy. We had a 1 bedroom condo and other than some dust on the headboard of the bed it was clean. We were expecting the unit to have a washer and dryer but it didn't, the washer and dryer is on the 2nd floor. We were on the 4th floor and the beach view was great. The balcony had nice chairs and table to enjoy the view. The staff that we encountered was nice and informative. Our stay got cut short by the hurricane that was expected and the facility asked everyone to check out by a certain and said they would refund the nights that we were not able to stay. All in all we were satisfied and will look at staying at the Phoenix again in the future."
