This is not a typical Best Western property as you enter your room for exterior doors. Lobby was small but adequate. Check in was fast and the attendant was pleasant and kind. Room was subpar and had a musty/previously smoked in smell. The bedding and towels were clean but the overall cleanliness of the floors and behind the nightstand needed attention. It was midnight when we checked in so we did not address the issue of the odor. Would not stay here again.

My check-in went perfectly fine, staff was very friendly, very helpful very informative, however, after checking, I went straight to my room and laid down. After about an hour, I got up and took a shower, then return to the bed and fell asleep. Woke up at 5 AM hearing door, slamming, and people being loud.. at which time I noticed that I had numerous bug bites all over my body, and I began to itch severely. Very unfortunate situation., I will never be back.

Upon arrival the young man who checked us in was excellent (Matthew maybe was his name?). He called after we got in to be sure all was good. After we got somewhat settled & utilized the small refrig, I noticed it wasn’t cooling correctly. I called & he said someone would come & look at it. An Indian man came, was very rude; said had too much food in it & left! This is the first problem. Then, under tornado warnings, sirens going off & pouring rain, thunder/lightening, several people came in & asked for a room for the night & this same man told them “power is out so can’t check u in so u can’t get a room & leave if u want” and spoken in a very nasty, demeaning way to these people!! Really….in the middle of Sirens & pouring rain, thunder & lightening and he treats potential customers this way?? We invited one group to come to our room & wait. Others sat in breakfast area & waited. This owner/manager, was extremely rude to stranded travelers showing no Compassion!! It certainly does not speak well of Best Western hotels!! I have NEVER seen this uncaring attitude in any hotel/motel and will NEVER visit this hotel Again & be sure to steer others away from there!! Best Western is much better than how this man treated his consumers!!!

Van Buren Stop

Don't really like hotel rooms with outside entrances and no elevator due to our age and mobility issues but clerk (Matthew) as able to get us into a 1st floor handicapped room. Also - once we got settled into the room, Matthew called to make sure everything was ok. That was a first fpr me! Extremely thoughtful The only real issue I had with the room was the poor lighting and extremely small bathroom counter space. Breakfast was ok but coffee was really bad (watered down). Other than that, was fine for a one night stay.
