Staff was excellent, The front desk clerk accommodated my request to move to a room closer to the elevator. The breakfast bar was above average. This hotel is really part hotel, part motel as 2/3 of the rooms have exterior doors. It's within walking distance to the beach and is on the PCH.

I like this hotel it's a nice location and clean, really my only gripe was that the AC in the room is quite loud when it turns on to cool the temp. The vending machines used an app that was confusing, bring your own water and snacks. Still, I'd stay here again. I may bring my air purifier next time cus I'm allergic to dust and it's carpet. However I'm sensitive and it's clean and no reviews mentioned any pests, which is why I stayed. The tub seems like it has bubble jets too which is awesome, but I did not try.

Check in was efficient and speedy. The only thing I was very surprised that when we returned to our room after all am day outing that the policy is they do not even clean the room not just not change the linens but did not even come in to leave clean towels. That was a total surprise. But you I would recommend this Best Western if you are ok with that. The policy is for a two night stay.
