Would stay again.
Second stay in the last few months. Check-in at midnight was smooth with an unexpected upgrade. Room was clean although some kind of disposable utensils in the kitchen would have been welcome. Bed was really comfortable. Bathroom was fine. Breakfast was tasty. Fifteen minute walk to beach. Only real con was the highway noise.

Nice surprise that a Best Western would be so nice, clean, etc. There was a water leak under my sink in the bathroom, but did not cause any issue. I just put a towel down and told the front desk. Breakfast was very good, and the lady (short and sweet) was wonderful. Great attitude, smile and did a great job. Give her a raise!

Quick Stay
The room was spacious and the bedding was pretty comfortable. There were two dead spiders on the floor and the condition of the shower looked like there was water damage around the corners. The breakfast had a lot of variety.

My stay was ok, a little noisy at times being right by the pool and the freeway. The room was dated and could use some work. But I was mostly just using it to sleep, so it was fone.

Very disappointing.
Pipe problem in kitchen, smell of water was putrid when it finally did come out of the pipes.
