The room was very dirty, stinky and it was very uncomfortable to stay in the room with the smell. It was loud and didn’t feel safe. The pool was so small. Staff kind of rude. For the price I paid, I am not happy! It was expensive but bad service

We arrived 25 minutes before check in and asked if there was a room available, because we had a private call we needed to take ant 3pm and it was hot out in the car. There were a couple rooms available, but they were going to charge us $20. We begrudgingly agreed. By the time we got checked in, it was 2:45. We paid $20 for 15 minutes. I have driven across the country several times and never had that happen. We didn’t ask they make up a room that wasn’t ready, we didn’t call ahead and request it. We just asked for our already available room a bit early. I am not staying at any Best Western again.

I booked this hotel for my husband during his road trip, and unfortunately, he became very sick after eating the breakfast, especially the gravy. He had vomiting and nausea for several hours while driving that day. I reached out to the hotel. They were polite and offered a 15% discount for a future stay, but we won’t be coming back. I feel it’s important to share this experience so others can be cautious, especially with the breakfast.

Not worth it!

The room was pet friendly, but smelled like a kennel when I arrived. The toilet wasn’t secured to the floor and rocked when it was used. The sink faucet leaked onto the counter. The fridge wasn’t cold and had no way to adjust the temperature.

I liked the ease of getting to the hotel and the cleanliness The breakfast was cold most mornings and needed to be microwaved to be hot. When I went to check-in I was told they tried to call me as my card was declined. I corrected the problem and they ran my card with no problem. The problem I have is no one called and when I made the reservation I told them i would pay in person. When I got home I found a bill in my inbox. I have found Best Western to be a reliable hotel chain but after this I don't know if I can stay there. I also am not happy about the $100.00 surcharge.

Unhappy.

Check in was slow and not very informative. The room was set to 80 when we got in and it was extremely warm. Parking was horrible. It is a small parking lot and and we had to park over top of the curb and landscape just to have a spot and get things from our vehicle. The back door was was not latching so anything and anyone could come in. Breakfast in the morning was very crammed for space. The food selection was very minimal. Not much out there with a line of people waiting. There was no one at the front desk the entire time we were down for breakfast to talk to about our stay. The key card return box was set on top and that was it.
