Poor value

This is basically a Red Roof Inn, at $120, with a Best Western Label pasted on it. About a sixty year-old motor inn, with exterior hallways and no elevator to the second floor. Room was cracker box size and the mattress was rock hard. Breakfast was very minimal and across the parking lot. The best part of this trip was driving away, saying I will never stay here again.

The parking lot is kind of a mess with really deep drainage grates, like you can practically fit a small car in them. So, driver beware. This place isn’t fancy, but it is adequate and comfortable. I’ve stayed there twice for the same event two years in a row and not had much trouble. This year, my key card kept getting deactivated and I had to go have it reprogrammed twice in a 4 night (3 day) stay. I didn’t use the breakfast option this year but did last year and that is a nice feature. Although my room this year was non-smoking, there was a faint mustiness that seemed to be old smoke smell. It wasn’t bad, but every time I entered, I would notice it. Comfortable beds overall, but the pillows need some work—they are so flimsy. Even if they had a couple flimsy ones with a couple that were a little more full to give people options, that would be nice.

Nice hotel HORRIBLE Mattresses

This hotel was in a great location felt safe, was clean but the mattress were HORRIBLE. We booked two rooms, upon arrival lobby was so clean and smelled great I even commented to the front desk as soon as I walked in how good it smelled. We were greeted as soon as we came in. Check in was easy and great. The staff was so polite and they accommodated our two rooms to be side by side. The hotel was clean and very nice but when we went to go to sleep the mattresses were horrible they were so hard and pain full and we could not sleep at all. Was not just our room my mom had the exact same complaint as well. I highly encourage the property to upgrade their mattresses. Unfortunately we will not be staying here again.

The Best Western was a pleasant surprise last year so I stayed again! It's a cut above the typical 'chain motel' and offers excellent value and comfort. Plenty of restaurants within a short drive (or walk) and there's even a small fitness center on premises. The breakfast buffet is well-stocked and Eduardo really takes special care of customers and keeps the breakfast area spotless. Don't forget to tip him! I will be back again next year!

I would definitely stay again.

This property was ultra clean. Nice linens, comfy mattresses and recently updated. I cannot say enough about how nice the room was. The downside ( or up) was that the rooms were accessible from the outside only with no elevator and breakfast was in the admin building. During inclement weather this might be an issue.

I prefer regular blankets instead of these waterproof “mats.” 2 people had to share 1 dryer, the other dryer was out of service. Other than that it was fine, the lady behind the desk asked if I would prefer downstairs instead of upstairs which was nice of her.
