OK, But needs a little more attention

Needed to call 4 times to get someone up to program the tv. Still no channels for the kids were available. Had to go get linen and towels as none were in the room. Rooms appeared clean except for dirty foot prints in the tub. Staff was very friendly and did try. They were however, understaffed. The door keys deactivated if put in wallet. Room really should have a fridge and perhaps a microwave. The staff did correct the loose toilet seat and burned out bulbs.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

Damons Grill was very slow and resulted in having to take the kids to the car and get the food to go. The Cracker Barrel was better.

So So

The check in was unpleasant. The room was not that clean. The hot tub was cold, and the breakfast was terrible.

Could use some improvement

There was no remote for the TV when I arrived,but this was quickly remedied. However, the remote worked only sporadically, and on two occasions I had to unplug the TV to be able to turn it off. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast area very clean and well stocked, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The attached restaurant was no longer open, but there were many acceptable options close by. Although I made the reservation through the Best Western web site, the hotel said they are no longer affiliated with Best Western so I was not able to get the expected Gold Crown points.
