The property is clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The pool and hot tub was clean and refreshing. Breakfast had continental and hot selections daily. The room furniture and carpet was worn, but comfortable. The bed was great. The bathroom appeared to be recently updated. The price was the best in town for the services provided. I would definitely recommend and return. My only negative comment is that if you are sensitive to odors, the carpets are treated with a scented product that permeates halls and rooms.

We've stayed at the Best Western Chieftain on several occasions over the years, and always liked the rooms and location. We hadn't stayed in a couple of years, though, because their post-pandemic pricing seemed too high. We were pleasantly surprised to find that their mid-week pricing is again very reasonable, and hope that this continues to be the case.

The pictures are very outdated of this property. Room key would not open to doors unless we went to get replacement keys for every use of the key. None of the outlets really worked in our room besides the one the TV was plugged into, whenever you plug something into an outlet it was spit right back out. I would not recommend this hotel especially for the price!

This hotel was very comfortable in that from the minute we walked in and we're greeted and helped kindly and professionally, we knew we had chosen the right place to stay. We had easy access in, around and out of town. The room was in tip top condition for cleanliness and comfort. It was a very hot day but the AC kept us beyond comfortable. Having stayed at other BWs we appreciated they still provide a breakfast hearty enough to carry us all day.
