    great location
    no complimentary breakfast

    Had an awesome time with friends! We enjoyed the close proximity to Whetstone Chocolate Factory and local shops. The staff was super helpful and the rooms were clean. Just a heads up, parking is an extra $15 to $25, and there’s no elevator, so be ready to carry your luggage upstairs!

    Unfortunately, there was no complimentary hot breakfast, just grab-and-go options, which was a bit of a letdown after a fun night out.

    The location was perfect for exploring the area, with beautiful views and great dining options nearby. The room was comfortable, though it could use some updating, particularly the coffee supplies. Parking was limited and the breakfast selection could be improved, but the overall experience was enjoyable.

    great location but noisy nights

    The location is perfect for exploring the local attractions and the parking attendants were very helpful with my car. The king room I stayed in was spacious and well-equipped, making for a comfortable visit.

    If you’re staying on a weekend, the live music can be quite loud.

    friendly staff
    stunning waterfront views
    unexpected parking fee
    no breakfast options

    I had a wonderful experience at Best Western Historic Bayfront. The location was unbeatable, directly overlooking the bay and just steps from the Fort and historic downtown. My King Room was clean, cozy, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The staff was incredibly friendly and quick to assist. when I needed extra towels, they were at my door in no time. The outdoor area provided stunning views with comfortable seating for relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere.

    Parking charges were an unexpected extra cost.

    awkward bathroom
    limited breakfast

    Location is truly unbeatable, right near the historic sites. The staff was friendly and quick to resolve our ceiling light issue. The grab-and-go breakfast was a pleasant surprise, providing just enough for a quick start to the day. However, the small room size was a bit cramped, and the bathroom layout was awkward. It felt like a challenge to navigate after showering, which was uncomfortable.

My King Room was recently updated with a cozy vibe and offered stunning waterfront views. The staff was friendly and quick to assist when I needed extra towels.
