Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel
"The rooms were nice, little dated but clean and comfortable. What I disliked is the pool and slides we were excited for but they only gave a 1 hour time slot. Sorry we paid for our room and shouldn’t be limited in how long we can go in the pool. That needs to change."
