Worst service I have ever received!!! Tv didn’t work in the room and was told by the morning girl she didn’t know how they worked so. I asked if we could check out to find some where else she then offered to switch us rooms and the bathroom door didn’t close and the toilet ran all night! I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants a peaceful night sleep or comfort😭 I usually always love Best Westerns

Blow dryer did not work no matter which outlet I tried or which reset button I pushed, very loud neighbors with screaming child. When I spoke to the person when I checked out, they did not seem to care. I have stayed at this hotel for years but I will not return.

Bed bugs

The hotel is out of date but it had new mattresses and looked really clean at first glance. After settling in for the night we were appalled seeing a bed bug crawl across our pillow. I had done an initial check when we got there but after seeing the new mattress, I didn’t see anything noteworthy. When smashing the big, it left a blood stain on the pillow. So we searched further finding more carcasses under the bed skirt. When bringing the evidence down to the desk, they seemed surprised and offered us another room down the hall. They allowed us to inspect that room before moving. When checking out the next morning the front desk gentleman didn’t seem surprised and offered no apology. He seemed like he might be the owner or manager too.

Weekend of Volleyball

This hotel was very old. The room had a smell that I could not get over, it smelt old musty, and it gave me a headache. The carpeting was tore up by the sliding glass door. All of the furniture was very old. It was obvious pets have been in there and it smelled a little bit like smoke. I could hear a dog barking next-door. I didn’t feel like I should be walking around with my shoes off. I did pay a very small rate for this room, which makes it very affordable for someone who is not very picky. Wenatchee is a very beautiful town.
