Great Hotel - Close to the 1-75
We stayed at the Best Western Gateway Grand to break up a trip from Charleston to Cape Coral. The location was perfect to break up this trip. Right on the I-75 and about the right distance to and from both locations. We were greeted at reception by Arianna, who was super friendly, helpful and polite. I can’t compliment Arianna more highly for her level of customer service. Our room was really nice. Spacious, with a living area which we could comfortably sit in and watch TV. We ate at Gator’s Den Restaurant and had a really nice meal with a complimentary drink as we were hotel guest We had a really comfortable night’s sleep in the large bed and woke up refreshed. Breakfast was included and we had a delicious omelette, which was cooked to order. All in all, we had a really good stay at Best Western Gateway Grand and would thoroughly recommend it.

We did not stay. I cancelled reservation the day after we made it because we decided to stay at Tampa instead but did not get a refund. The policy of no refund sucks. People should be allowed to cancel until three days before stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
The motel was found fine, great breakfast. However, our room had a flimsy a/c controller; broken charger station and a dysfunctional microwave. The eve of our arrival we noticed the charging station did not work and notified the front desk. It took 2 days for a workman to arrive but in the meantime we had had to buy an outlet, since it was needed to charge medical electral equipment. The front desk workers appeared to not care. The manager learned about this and said he would offer us a discount. Upon checkout, there was no discount, and had to be contacted much to the annoyment of the front desk worker. Fine place but needs workers with new attitudes.

We were happy about virtually everything. Loved the breakfast. The hotel was quiet. Rooms clean and staff friendly and accommodating. There were several special request we made and they were very helpful. The only suggestion was the bed... it was too soft.
