This is the second time in two years that I have used the Best Western. I have returned to a good room, a good view, a great King size bed. Also, a hot jacuzzi, a clean pool and use of the cable machine in the gym. I also learned that there is a laundry room. All I need is a kitchenette and I am settled. Also, low key looking forward to the balcony. Best value if you book ahead. Oh, their coffee machine in the Lobby is A1. As long as they don’t change the beans.

We put a movie on in the common area most evenings and all of the other visitors were chatty and polite too, I guess we just all felt so relaxed like we were in our own homes. The pancake option for breakfast was superb and ensured when it was time to get out to explore, we’d...

8/10 Good

The welcome from the staff on the front desk was amazing. The were very helpful in sorting a couple of administrative issues we had and got our party checked in, in very quick time. The room was everything we needed for 1 night and the perfect location for the shopping mall/food and also the attractions down at the dock area. The best and most surprising element of the hotel was the variety and quality of the breakfast.
