Clean room, friendly staff

Stopped for the night on the way back from Cocoa Beach to Ohio. Very clean room and bathroom. Very courteous & friendly staff. Room was a bit dated(no USB outlets, pillows could be better), but if you travel and don't carry a brick or two, are you really a traveler? We would definitely stay again.

Serious Safety Issues!

While this facility seems to be in decent condition, I have to call them out on some pretty serious safety issues. Every stairwell door in the building was blocked open with wedges upon our arrival. As a retired fire inspector, I know how serious this fire code violation is. The local fire marshal has been notified, and hopefully, they will be getting a visit.

Carowinds Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this Best Western. The place was right near Carowinds which is why we were in the area. The room was clean and well stocked. I was a little disappointed that the cleaning people did not knock on the door when entering. Scaring both myself and my kid. No a big deal but still concerning. Breakfast was serviceable but limited options. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
