Best Western Plus Silverdale Beach Hotel

Whenever my wife and I need to stay in Silverdale we either choose this Best Western or the Oxford Suites. This time we selected the Best Western due to a $20.00 difference in price. I purchased the buffet breakfast since it was only $5.00 each. We requested a top floor room which we received and the view was actually very nice. This room was 361 and it was past the view of the ugly roof of the indoor pool. However, there were two large fans directly below our room that was so loud it was necessary to keep the sliding door closed even on a nice, sunny day. The rooms away from the pool area have very nice views but there is no way to guarantee you won't be looking at the roof of the indoor pool. The breakfast was crazy bad. The special of the day was French toast sticks. At least I think that was plan. There were 3 or 4 pieces of something that didn't look like food. The sign also said potatoes but there weren't any. The eggs were tasteless so I looked for some salsa to add some flavor but that was also missing. The biscuits actually looked pretty good so I grabbed one of those. However, the heated gravy bowl was empty. The orange juice looked like urine so I skipped that. The coffee tasted like burnt water so I added tons of sugar and cream and that didn't help. My wife and I waited at our table to see if someone would replenish all of the lacking items. This didn't happen so we left. During this time, none of the employees approached us. It is a buffet so there is no need for major interactions, but maybe a "Good morning, I see you purchased breakfast, please let me know if there is anything I can do" would have been nice. Bottom line, for $10.00 more we could have stayed at the Oxford Suites with a larger room, a better breakfast with a couple of drinks in the evening. less

We've stayed at Best Western Plus's many times, especially when traveling with our mini-Schnauzer. We were visiting a friend who had just gotten a kidney transplant at Swedish Hospital and chose Silverdale because the reviews were good and the price was right. It was quite a ways from Seattle, but the views and wonderful breakfast buffet seem to make it worth it. We took the ferry from Seattle to Bremerton. The traffic jams much of the way from Vancouver, WA, to Seattle had us weary of cars. The cost was a little over $30 for three of us - our daughter was with us - and the peaceful, easy ride was worth the cost. The tide was out when we checked in, so the view from our room was mud with a smatter of buildings. It was also out when we checked out. We were in the pet-friendly room #118, and rooms on a different part of the property had a better water view. The trails for walking our dog were very nice and afforded a better view of the water. The room was nice. I especially liked the dispensers for soap, shampoo, etc. The room had enough space that it didn't feel cramped with two queen beds. We were really looking forward to a hearty breakfast before we checked out the next morning. The reviews for the buffet were very positive. The thing really driving our expectations was the fee. The vast majority of Best Westerns we'd stayed at had a good breakfast buffet as part of the fee. We were going to be charged an extra $5.45, so we expected something more than the regular fare. We were sadly mistaken. The buffet was good but was nothing more than we'd had before. The view from our table was amazing, though. I will say that we had a kind chef make us bacon, even though the slot labeled "bacon" was empty and none was offered. Our daughter has to eat a diet rich in high-fat foods, and she was really looking forward to having the bacon. My husband didn't even mention that, just asked where the bacon was. This kind gentleman offered to make us some, and he did. We don't regret eating at the hotel; just wish we'd known it was the regular fare, only at a price. We would probably not stay here again if we were visiting the Seattle area. For what the ferry cost, plus the extra for a standard BW buffet, we could have stayed closer for the same cost or less, and enjoyed our stay just as much. (We skipped the ferry and drove back, expecting Sunday morning traffic to be better. It would have been if not for the same two long stretches of construction and one accident. We also had a $6 toll.) less

I have stayed at the Best Western Silverdale probably 15 times and it is always a great experience. Friendly staff, has lounge and restaurant. I would highly recommend this hotel. I am a platinum Best Western rewards because I always stay when I can at a Best Western whether business or vacation. less

I lived in Silverdale for 9 years and had to go back there for business on Bangor Submarine Base this week. I would normally stay on the base but ended up at the Best Western since there were no rooms available on base. I was very pleasantly surprised. Although it is an older hotel, the room was very well maintained, the bed was comfortable, and the view of Dyes Inlet refreshing. The staff was very friendly and the complimentary breakfast buffet had a great selection. There is also an airport shuttle that very conveniently stops at the hotel. There is also a restaurant and a small bar with a daily Happy Hour from 3:00-5:00. less

Stayed 2 nights while visiting the area. Lovely water views and also enjoyed the outdoor fire-pit. Helpful front desk service. Comfortable room, spacious bathroom, and nice balcony overlooking the courtyard and lake. Carpet in hallway and guest room could be improved by adding padding. Many restaurants and stores close by. Good value for the area and I would recommend this hotel to others. less
