Best Western Plus Coastline Inn
10/10 Excellent
"We arrived at 4 and was promptly checked in by the most pleasant and professional personnel. The room was a little “dated” but clean and totally comfortable for our needs. Renovations looked to have been rather recent. But the room was very clean. The view to the river was nice as well. We slept in and missed the breakfast but it’s nice to know it was available if needed. Great stay at what I felt was a very fair price for both BW as vendor and myself as a customer. 9/10. Would and have recommended this exact location to friends, family, and business associates. The room isn’t going to be on any episodes of exotic hotels. But for a place to unpack, shower, and sleep it was perfect. "
