It was ok. 3.5 out if 5. The room was on a smaller side and outdated. The paint was coming off the ceiling in the bathroom. The space between tiles was moldy in some places. While the room was mostly clean, the sofa pillows were covered with white drops that I suspect were a sperm. Really? Not the best place for a child to sleep. Breakfast was ok. Nothing fancy: pancakes, oatmel, omlet, toasts, yogurt, granola bars, cereal, ham, bananas and oranges. Not fancy, but at least some variety. Pool was on a smaller side. The staff was cleaning the floor while children were playing in the pool, so all the floor cleaner from their feet was in the pool and the water was making the eyes burn. There was no changing room outside of the pool area. You either change in the tiny restroom inside the pool area, or walk to your room wet at 54 F in a wind. The location was great. In the middle of everything. The beach was relatively clean. The staff was accomodating. The sheets and towels crispy clean. There are prons and cons.

It's such a great location, the staff were so nice and it is clean but it's definitely NOT a nicer or upper scale hotel. Best Western used to be where the rich people stayed. Obviously that is no longer the case. The rooms are tiny. The bathroom doesn't even have a sink in it its in the main room...geoss! Everyone gets to watch you brush your teeth and shave and after you potty you have to come out before you can wash your hands. The hand and body soap, shampoo, and conditioner smells atrocious. I wouldn't wash my neighbors dog in it. There was supposed to be a microwave but there isn't so we had to go out for supper.. We were pleasently surprised with a balcony room that walked right out to the lake tho and that was awesome. I wish it was warmer and we could go swim.
