Great property for a night before and early flight (or anytime really). Front desk staff was AMAZING. Room modern with tile floors, no carpet, platform bed so no dust or junk underneath. I love when sink is outside of bathroom so one person can shower, and one person get ready. Shower was new and clean. Pool area also well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Fraudulent advertising

Terrible. Hotels.com and Best Western did not disclose the construction on the website at time of reservation. This is fraudulent. I would never have booked a hotel where construction was happening 10 feet from my hotel room. See picture. I had plenty of other options for hotels I could have stayed at. I want my money back.

The only thing I didn't like was that they use those new WiFi alarm clocks and did not provide instructions on how to set the alarm. The one they use is not intuitive and even with an internet search I could not find any decent instructions. When you have an early flight or appointment it is nice to have a functioning alarm and not depend on a wake up call.

Construction site

We were given a room right next to their ongoing construction area. Hotels.com guests may be receiving the lousiest rooms - perhaps because the hotel wasn't even busy. Sink area had bunch of hair and was asp cracked. Shower water was barely hot. The phone in the room had no connection to the reception area.
