Best Western Seven Seas

8/10 Good
"The hotel and property were beautiful! There are some cosmetic things that do need to be addressed and some electrical outlets outside that were exposed and could risk damage but otherwise the stay was wonderful! The room was decent, the bed was comfortable, the shower had AMAZING water pressure although the tub didn’t drain well. The mini fridge worked well, the hair dryer was decent but I would bring my own next time. The pool and hot tubs were perfect and upkept! Would stay here again! Very convenient location!"
