Room was warm and clean; the bed and pillows were very comfortable. (We stayed in the winter) The staff were courteous and the dining area was clean with breakfast well stocked. We had requested a quiet room on the third floor and the staff were happy to accommodate this. The hotel is older but well kept. If you are traveling on a budget, this is all you need!

Ashley

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The absolute worst hotel stay I’ve ever experienced. Blood stains on pillow cases, walls falling apart, hair on “clean towels” and lack of a pool being available when it states there was one. Given the unsanitary conditions & pool being unavailable, we checked out early and were promised a refund by management but now, Best Western has refused. We have taken it to corporate but I would absolutely avoid this hotel at all costs.
