Family retreat

Great place to relax and get away from it all. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the indoor pool was not heated and the game room was small. Even with that the rooms were clean and bed pretty comfortable.

Fantastic stay - Highley recommend!

We had an amazing stay at the Best Western Premier! The room was very clean and spacious, providing plenty of space for our family to relax. The lobby was beautiful and spotless, creating a welcoming first impression. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with a smile. We also enjoyed the onsite restaurant—great food and excellent service made dining convenient and enjoyable. One of the highlights for us was the indoor pool, which the kids absolutely loved! It was well-maintained and perfect for some family fun. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

I loved this hotel - was perfect for a one night stay! The lobby was a great place to hang out with a large group and the pub had a fun atmosphere. The water was a little tinted dark in the shower. That would be my only concern!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities

The staff was very rude and also refused to allow my F-250 harley davidson edition pick up truck park out front after advising me it would not fit in any garage. The Valet was rude about it and also offered no help. After arguing with me when I explained we had been driving 9 hours and were tired, I asked if they could please allow me to park out front at Valet like the other car they had out front, they denied me the ability to. I even offered to leave my keys and pay extra. I then had to leave to go book a new booking at the Omni who allowed my truck to park out front with no problems.
