My son and I really enjoyed our trip to Wisconsin and our stay at Best Western hotels are always great. This was no different. That being said, let's start with the things we didn't love:

This hotel doesn't look like much from the outside. In fact, it looks a little worn down. And there were some troubles with the doors going in and out of the building in the back. The breakfast wasn't amazing, but it was ok. It seemed like all the hot items had been sitting there since breakfast started over an hour before we ate. While not really the hotel's fault, I didn't see the password for the wi-fi in the key card holder until the day we left. You have to go all the way to the front desk to get towels for the pool. We were not lucky enough to get a room facing the harbor and we were on the first floor so our view was one of a wall. We could hear people being very loud in the hall while trying to sleep. But that's more about people being rude and not showing good hotel ettiquete than the walls being thin. One more thing, while they were cleaning our room, they took our dirty towels but never brought us clean ones. That was annoying.

Now that I've convinced you that you shouldn't stay here, let me tell you about all the wonderful reasons you should stay here.

You won't get a better view than the one of the harbor. If you are lucky enough to get a room that faces the harbor, it is goegrous. If not, you can still stand along the walkway by the parking lot in back to view this beautiful sight. The rooms themselves are nicely designed. There is a fridge and microwave in each room, which is a nice bonus. The room seemed very clean. You won't hear any complaints about the room from me. Another great thing is the pool. It's only 3 feet deep, which is amazing for kids. Plus, there is a seat on two of the walls so parents can sit and watch their kids play. The room also features very tall ceilings with huge windows facing the harbor. The price is very comperable to most other hotels. Plus, this is the only hotel anywhere near the water. And there is a beach fairly close by. And a couple restaurants.

In my opinion, the good outweighs the bad and I definitely recommend this hotel.

Everything about this hotel is exactly on par with what we are used to when it comes to Best Westerns. The room seemed clean. The breakfast was pretty good. The pool was nice. They had towels by the pool. Good location. It was right behind Universal and there were lots of food choices nearby. Great value. There is a shuttle to and from Universal (and Sea World). The times while we were there were leaving at 8am and 10am and coming back at 5pm and 8pm. You just have to sign up the night before. There is a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. With a Walgreens so close, you can easily eat a couple meals in your room if you want. Breakfast was pretty normal. Your usual meat, waffle, pastries, fruit selection with coffee and juice. My only complaint was when we first got there, it was really late (11pm) and we just wanted to check in so that we could go to bed and the guy at the front desk was on a call for about 10 minutes. But that's it. I definitely recommend staying here.

Overall, I would give this place a 4/5.
