Everything is so lovely at the West Inn, it’s so peaceful, the milk & cookies is a nice touch in the evening. Location is prime. The only thing is the wifi is real spotting, majority of the time, if that was fix then this could be the perfect hotel for you. I highly recommend this hotel

Love staying here
Second year staying here and each time it's great! Clean, comfortable, staff are wonderful and helpful. Breakfasts are good with selection, love the seating area for dining. Cookies and milk nightly is a bonus. Also love thta they offer floating devices for the pool which is clean and NOT cold. I recommend this place highly

This was exactly what we were looking for: a nicer hotel but at a more affordable price. We were pretty happy with the amenities we needed too. Pet friendly (cats accepted, not just dogs), convenient location, near the beach, decent breakfast, free parking, etc.

Family trip
You’re about two blocks from the beach but with a small child it’s a bit too far to walk. Super close to LEGOLAND and the outlets! Staff was great, rooms were average.
