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..

The room was separated from next door by a door only, the guest next to us was shouting at 3am on a phone call so soundproofing could be improved. It was very clean and the facilities in the room were great. It was pretty clean but inside the kitchen cupboards needed a little more attention.
