Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall my experience was good from start to finish. The front desk was nice and helpful. My room was slightly musky on arrival but got better. The air is antiquated but it worked. The room was very clean. The breakfast was a nice offering. Powdered eggs can always be improved. Nice to park at the hotel yet 15$ seems pricey. I had a great view. No big negatives. The location was good as well."
