This was a very disappointing experience. Our room was not very clean, dead bugs on windowsill, gross. Breakfast was a huge disappointment: only sweet stuff, no eggs, no sausage, no fresh fruit, no oatmeal, no tea or decaf coffee, no water pitcher or water bottles, coffee was not even in the breakfast area. No elevator in building. No fitness center. No canopy or overhang area where we could unload our car, we got soaking wet from the rain while lugging in all our luggage and supplies. No luggage carrier on wheels. This motel or hotel was very dated, with little or no normal amenities and conveniences. To make matters worse, the toilet in our hotel room became completely clogged/plugged and unuseable, just from normal usage, and the employees didn't seem to bat an eye or offer any assistance. One said she might be able to get us a plunger but never did. Because of the time change (daylight savings time) we kept getting locked out of our room. We would like to speak to someone about this and get some sort of partial refund or credit. We've stayed in many places over the years and have never had such an all-around bad experience.

Fraud Risk - Do Not Stay Here

Stolen money from my card. My bank was charged extra money for no reason, I ended up getting a check from Best Western corporate because the owner refused to refund me, even when he was told by Best Western that his actions were illegal. I don't know how they're still in business

The bathroom vanity was small. You could hardly put make up or your toothbrush supplies on there… Had to set stuff on the back of the toilet if you wanted more space…The shower creaked like there was nothing below the tub shell. My tile was cracked like they had to dig under it. Outdated inside rooms. Get what you pay for. Said they had a continental breakfast… I'm not sure that I having a waffle maker constitutes as a continental breakfast. Disappointing .

Good for people that party but not family oriented

I was very disappointed in this hotel. The bar and was extremely loud. You could hear people talking all night long on both sides of my room through the bathrooms. There were smells in the hallway. Phone network was terrible in Thompson. I would never stay here again, and I would not recommend going here unless you drink and party all night long

Not impressed

Lobby was not well marked and I have to walk to find it. and it went down from there. The staff was OK, but check-in was slow and the outside door to the room hallway would not close. The room I got smelled musty. The AC was very noisy when the compressor clicked in. When I check out, No body was at the counter so I went to the breakfast. No Fruit, no Cereal, Nothing hot except a waffle. When I left someone was at the desk and he asked me is the AC worked. I told him it did but was very noisy. It was very coinvent for where i needed to go but, If I go back, I will look else where and drive a little.

This is called a resort, but actually an average and dated hotel, golf course and casino in the middle of cornfields. The people were nice, and our room was clean but it really needs some updating to the exterior and property grounds. The breakfast had only fruit as healthy choices. No eggs or other hot food other than waffles. No water either.
