The rooms are clean and smell nice. The bed is comfortable and this is a great location. The staff are friendly and very nice. Westshore is quiet so you get a good nights sleep. After a horrible stay across the road, I highly recommend this hotel. You can walk a couple of doors up the road to Indian Tikka for dinner and a drink. They serve delicious food and they are one of the reasons we like this location so much.
