This has been my go-to hotel the last two years, whenever I'm in town to visit a friend of mine. I wouldn't stay anywhere else! The staff are always very nice and accommodating, the rooms are always clean, and the area is quiet and safe. There's a Powell's Dairy Freeze drive-thru ice cream place that has very good ice cream and it's not expensive! It's literally next door... You can walk there. There's also a variety of restaurants such as Beef O'Grady's, Granny's Country Kitchen, Laredo (Mexican), Sonny's BBQ, to name a few. There's also a Walgreen's and a gas station nearby. I have yet to use the pool (I have bleach blonde hair, so getting in the pool would turn my hair green LOL), but I have seen the pool, and it's very inviting! I am always sooo tempted to jump in!!! And the pool is open until 10 p.m., not 8 p.m., like most places, so that's cool. The rooms always have a fresh, clean smell, and the a/c always works. The shower is very nice, and everything looks updated. Not this visit, but on a past visit, the hair dryer came in handy because I had forgotten to bring mine... Theirs was a life saver! I absolutely love Best Western. This location was recommended to me by my friend, and now I recommend it to others. It's a Michelin key hotel in my book!

The property, landscaping, cleanliness, outside sitting area all beautiful. The staff was super friendly. Rooms were clean, spacious and the a/c worked great. The breakfast was delicious. Our only disappointment was the pool was closed for renovations. But no worries we went down the road to the local KOA, rented a tent site and enjoyed the beautiful pool there during the day. So it was a win win all around. Would definitely consider this hotel if in the area again.

Overall Good Budget Hotel

Informative and friendly staff, generally clean room but dirty when you look closely. Clean sheets, but caked dust by microwave, dead roaches indicating the floors haven’t been cleaned. Pet friendly which is nice, relatively quiet but off a 35mph highway. Overall a decent stay, will come back and hopefully they’ve done some spraying.

Exterior was littered with little black bugs everywhere. There was so many in front of the door to our room we didn’t even go inside. We arrived just after dark and the parking lot was dark and we felt unsafe. I was told no rooms were available on the well lit side of the property. Didn’t end up staying here. Asked for a refund within 15 minutes of checking in since we didn’t enter the room. Was told to contact manager in a couple days for a refund.

Mr Cement Boots

My room was clean and well stocked with towels and all essentials. I was grateful due to my handicap that I got a room on the bottom floor. I however was not grateful for the upstairs neighbors whom walked around with cement boots all night. I was there comfortable, sleeping...until upstairs Mr. Cement boots decided to take off said boots, one at a time..BOOM.....BOOM. Startled wide awake at 3am...
