Helpful Staff

I had a great stay at Best Western. Its in a ideal location if your going to any of the parks or attractions in the area. The staff were very helpful as well as soon as I entered into the building I was happily greeted by John at the front desk. My room wasn't ready yet because we were so early but he gave me a key for the pool area if I wanted to sit by the pool or walk around the hotel if I wanted to. He also offered to give me a courtesy call as soon as a room was available. During my departure, I had a small issue that I brought to the attention of Evelyn at the front desk and she immediately gave me direction on what to do and who to address. She also was very helpful! In fact anything I needed, I was asked during my stay if there was anything I could be assisted with.
