Did the job, room smelled like floor cleaner even though I checked in at 10pm. Bathroom is strange, no tub and a phone next to the toilet? Great for some, unusual for most. Bathroom tiles peeling away from the walls and some animal hair in the bedsheets. One of the side doors didn’t work so it was propped open with a bucket (?!) Overall, it was ok but the bar is on the floor. I wouldn’t have spent longer than one night here. Was never expecting the four seasons but I’ll find a holiday in express or something instead next time.

This was a great place to stay after a concert at Soaring Eagle. It was about $100 cheaper than place in Mt. Pleasant and just 20 minutes away. Staff was friendly, and room was spacious. Eady on and off from the highway without the highway noice. We'd stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service

I was traveling with my partner and his service dog. He is a disabled veteran. Upon arrival I was told we were placed on the second floor. When I asked for availability on the first floor, the clerk informed me that there were 1st floor rooms, but I had chosen a deluxe room and they were on the second floor. I said were would take the 1st floor room, offering to pay for the deluxe if we could move to the first floor. I was told that wasnt allowed because we didnt book directly with that particular hotel. Then she told me there was a charge for the dog to stay. I phoned the 800 number for Best Western and was told that they do not charge for service dogs, and because we booked online she could not change the room, but if there was availability the hotel could move us. You got it, the clerk said only a manager could do it and the manager was gone. The person from the 800 call phone the desk clerk. After which she was at least polite but refused to move us. You should consider modifying your policy, train staff to understand the needs of those with service animals and the LAWS they must abide by. This was likely the LAST time I will see the inside of a Best Western hotel. Come on, you CAN do better than this.

Was just okay. Outside of building was less than impressive. Inside was cleaner than the exterior lead to us believing it would be. Still had a few dirty/unkempt areas. Smell was a little off, not quite bad but not pleasant either.

A decent hotel with a fair price.

I'm not sure about the bad reviews. I enjoyed my visit. The room was very nice. In many ways it's a classic room. A queen size bed, a chair, a desk, and a mini fridge. The TV is a good size. The bed is very comfortable, although it is the lowest bed frame I've seen at a hotel. I thought everything was very clean. I actually loved the shower. It's a walk in, but more importantly the shower head is actually up high, so us tall people can actually shower comfortably. The only slight negative is the soap dispenser in the shower barely work. The other issue is the sound proofing could be better, you could hear everything in the hallway. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, it's a positive 4 star. Would I return? Absolutely.

Great hidden gem for visiting Central Michigan- very quiet, off the road so no traffic noise. Breakfast had a nice variety and refilled things. Staff attentive and kind.
