Local civilian, researched hotels in the area for a weekend stay for my birthday. It was between this hotel and Fairfield behind Taco Bell there in Pontoon. All the reviews stated they are clean, comfortable, and their breakfast was decent, the Best Western definitely did not disappoint and met everything that was shared regarding the property. Great experience honestly, not one complaint.

When harsh weather conditions came in the hotel went above and beyond to accommodate and make sure our family was safe an well taken care of. I really appreciate the staff and the way they care about there guests here. They made sure the parking lot was salted immediately and made sure every car could pull in and out the property.
