A great stay
I came here to work and could have stayed to play. The food is great, the rooms are comfortable, clean and well appointed. The staff in the restaurant and bar are so friendly and helpful.

8/10 Very Good

There was some noticeable wear and tear in the room and it could use a bit of a facelift renovation and some new furniture. Otherwise the room was comfortable and clean. Nice big TV in the room. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, both for the hotel and restaurant. There wasn’t much by way of grocery or convenience stores in the immediate area, but there were several restaurants within walking distance. We ate at the hotel restaurant and walked to Brigantine a short distance away. Would recommend both. The area surrounding the hotel along the harbor is kept very nice and there’s a walking path along the water that made for a nice evening stroll.

Not a Great Start
Reception … check in… not good. Due to reservations made online, guests, even with a Best Western special card, couldn’t receive or use points. I was never told by making reservations online there would be NO discounts etc. person at reception not warm or sympathetic… just this side of rude. I had rented 2 rooms, one for out of state guests. Will probably avoid Best Western the future..

Decent for a Best Western
The room is really small/tight and the beds were not comfortable at all. Our shower leaked horribly and soaked the bathroom. The room was definitely in need of some upkeep. The hotel lobby was really nice and the villa type setup is cute. The view from the room of the marina was really pretty. The restaurant and bartender were a nice addition!

San Diego Staycation
Our second time staying here for a holiday getaway. We had issues in the first room assigned as there were bugs all over the bathroom and bedroom area as well. They switched us to a second room and it was clean and comfy and bug free. The views of the marina are great no matter where you stay. Front desk clerk at both check in and check out were friendly. Other than the hiccup with the first room it was another great stay.

Shoulda coulda woulda
Been here before and it was great. This time not so great. Upon opening the door to the room, there was a smell of some type of odor. Being the type of person that prefers to fix things, I opened the windows and aired it out. Fine. That night, the bed was VERY uncomfortable. Along with pillows that just...ummm...sucked. My gf and I made it through the night. Also, the 2 beds in the room...NOT queen size. FULL size beds so be warned. Also I wanted to spend the next day ENJOYING the area NOT fixing my issue. Bottom line, I left early that night instead of sleeping in an uncomfortable bed.

Lovely location
We booked this hotel because it was near our Thanksgiving dinner location. Our room was adequate but very worn. Another group in our party had a suite which seemed in better condition.
