Breakfast was better than many other " Hotel Breakfasts." Staff was friendly, room was nice but, it didn't have air conditioning and sleeping with the window open was at times very noisy. Nice view from our room and the restaurant was fun and well priced.

Disliked: Staff & service
The night we checked in the office staff was very friendly but the lady (Sky) that worked the day shifts was very snarky and rude. She should not be in customer service. The "shuttle" is only used at their convenience and limited times and destinations- airport or ferry. Had to take taxi from and to airport even though times were reasonable business hours. This shuttle did not move the entire time we stayed, 4 days. Will not stay at Bidarka Best Western again!

The hotel is just average. It is located at the bottom of a hill on a busy highway. The noise from large trucks kept us awake.
