Edgewater Inn And Suites
Great location close to the beach and pier. Pool and hot tub are nice. The rooms by the street are noisy but staff accommodated us.

Best Western Casa Grande Inn
The room was average, the linens were clean. I would say though that the hot tub can use some maintenance.There was a lot of sand in the hot tub. They should probably clean it more often. Other than not the state was good.
