I loved it here. I had a pretty bad experience with our rental car and travel plans, but our stay here at Best Western was the most please part of our trip. It’s located in a really quaint part of town. Every staff member that I met was very nice. The room was clean, the amenities were clean. The complimentary breakfast was delicious! Probably my favorite part of the stay. And when we arrived, there were plenty of parking. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay.
