Happily Surprised!

This is an older hotel that has made new renovations and the rooms are great! Beautiful and comfortable. It has very good insulation so we didn't hear others while in our room. Alot of newer hotels don't have that good noise reduction that is necessary for the good nights sleep. Check in lady was wonderful, so sweet. The pool is very nice and is not right next to rooms so you don't get the noise from it. I slept better there than at any other hotel I have been in a LONG TIME. And you Couldn't Beat the Price. Just Loved it! Only minus was the carpet, it had spots, but everything else was clean. Especially the bathroom , I am very picky about them being clean and it was.

Parking is like New York. To Many Cars

I could not find parking close to my room. It was so crowded I had to park all the way to the back parking lot. This is due to the Mexican Restaurant. I heard other customer had the same issue. I would stay away from here unless you dont mind the crowd of cars.

Great Service

[...] The hotel is a little older but the rooms are very spacious and clean. Good Mexican and other restaurants right next door. Will stay again.

Could use some work

The Best Western in Cookeville, TN could use some work. The property is showing signs of wear and dating. Beds are OK,but housekeeping just threw them back together, and bearly straightened the room. One bar of soap for two people?

Parking

The only complaint I have about the stay is the parking situation. The attached restaurant must be very popular. Customers used up parking in motel. They were also painting the motel which also took up parking.
