The biggest complaint that I have is this Best Western does not have an elevator. Had I been aware of this I would not have booked with them. When I went back to the website and scrolled all the way down to the ammenities, the LAST item showed no elevators. I was not interested in the ammenities so I did not even go that far when looking for a hotel. This to me should be on the front of their website to make people aware. Going up and down 2 flights of stairs with luggage and other items is not convenient or safe.
