Best Western On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"They need to hire waiter staff and experienced cooks for their very inferior restaurant rather than using front desk and grounds to man those positions. Our waiter came to our table 4 times after taking our order and the food was terrible. The hash browns were barely browned and tasted raw. The Omelet I had was devoid of any discernible seasoning. Their restaurant was and is my sole complaint "
