Outdated but Okay

Property is outdated. Door didn’t close properly. Carpet and curtains were old and smelly, but the room was comfortable for the night and I’d stay there again for the price.

2 Stars bc of Cleanliness and a nice breakfast

Our check-in time was 2pm which was perfect bc we had an event that evening & our Uber was picking us up at 4:30. That gave all 5 of us plenty of time to get settled in & ready to leave. We got there a little early, just after 1pm, & asked if we could get an early check in. Our room wasn't ready yet, which was fine, we told them that we'd run out & get dinner & be back. We got back at about 2:45pm & our room STILL WASN'T READY! We had to stand around in the lobby w all of our luggage for another 35 minutes until they were done cleaning our room! I explained our situation to the people at the front desk & apparently they didn't care. I also explained that we would need to use the pull out sofa, there were 5 of us, we would need sheets, blankets, etc for it. We would also need enough washcloths, towels, shampoo, conditioner, for all 5 of us. We finally got up to our room as the housekeeper finished cleaning it & had to explain to her again that we needed towels, etc for 5 people & the stuff to make up the bed on the pull out. The staff at the desk had spoken w her by phone but didn't relay that message to her. Then I went into the bathroom & there was 1 tiny bottle of shampoo, and 1 conditioner! My husband had to hunt the housekeeper down to get more of that stuff! I called the corp office to tell them about it & when they said they were putting me on hold, I got hung up on. The room was nice & clean & the breakfast was good. Our last stay at a Best Western though.
