Great property, lovely decoration, AMAZING STAFF! Food not so great, didn’t try the Mexican restaurant, the other two were solid 7/10.

Best Western Plus Oceanside Palms
It was a great stay. Everything - both in the room as well as out in the lobby and hallways - was well maintained, and the staff were very friendly, courteous, and helpful. The breakfast was a typical continental breakfast but the food was fresh and tasty. Thank you for a great stay!
