Top Cardiff-by-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

Best Western Seven Seas

Best Western Seven Seas

10/10 Excellent
"The WiFi was great and for the two nights we were there, it was perfect. The front desk guy was nice and professional, even had a good sense of humor as we checked in around 11pm on Tuesday. We checked out at three am on Thursday and it was the same guy with the same warm demeanor. Wasn’t a 5 star hotel, but met our needs. The room was clean and housekeeping even came through while we were gone Wednesday and cleaned up and remade our beds. Only things missing were a microwave and coffee maker. No free breakfast but the restaurant on site was convenient, inexpensive and good. Never tried the bar or the pool…."
