Our room had a certain smell that wasn’t pleasant. It wasn’t horrible, it just had a slight dirty smell. I did notice the floors in our room wasn’t the cleanest and there was hair in several places. I’d stay again because it’s conveniently located close to the airport. For the price it was well worth it.

I had asked the front desk if there had been cats in the room as I am very allergic to them, her response was I can’t guarantee that. I told her that I have a hypoallergenic dog due to my allergies and she looked at me like I offended her! She then proceeded to tell me that the pet rooms are throughly cleaned that they spend more time on those rooms cleaning. I said ok and took the room. The room smelled so terrible! The entire hallway smelled terrible! I was afraid to ask for another room with the check-in experience so we just suffered through it, how this hotel had such good reviews, I don’t know!

Really outdated building and rooms. No restaurants in a walkable distance. Humidity levels were really high inside the building and there was water down the whole hallway and elevator from the guest that was in the pool but it wasn’t getting cleaned up. Bathroom was not cleaned well. Gym was very small and had electrical cords sitting in water puddles. Staff was really nice though!

Room design was inconvenient and uncomfortable. Towels were soft, but very small. The room had areally bad smell. I couldn't pin point where it came from. I thought that I would get used to it but never did. I should have asked for a different room, my bad. Front desk staff seemed to be indifferent to greeting new customers. No warm welcome. The gym air conditioner did not work nor did the treadmill. The bar area was never open. All in all I didnt receive what was advertised and therefore not worth what i paid for the room. This was my second time staying at a Best Western and the experiences were vastly different. I would never stay at this location again and probably not stay at a Best Western again. I really thought that Best Western had a better reputation.
