Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

This property was no where near anything promised. Very small with debilitated exterior. So close to freeway was loud. No elevator. The bathroom had hair in the tub and in the floor, a disgusting stained shower curtain, and the bottom of tub had some sort of extremely worn mat in it. Beds were rick hard. I will never stay at a best western again nor prepay using Expedia.

Check in was fine. The bathroom had hair in the shower and behind the toilet hadn’t been cleaned. There was something spilled all over the wall in the room. I got home and had 4-5 bed bug bites on me. I prayed that I didn’t bring home any critters.
