Our rooms were always kept clean and staff friendly. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to have our breakfast right there instead of looking for a place outside. My daughter used the pool once and it was very clean and towels were available on site. We only had supper there on Sunday evening and the food was very fresh and really good. I totally enjoyed the Seafood Chowder with the tea biscuit. A total meal! Wouldn't hesitate to book the Best Western should the need arise in the future.
