Large Comfortable Room

Nicest Best Western I've stayed in. We were in the area for a wedding just for the night. Wedding was at 3 pm (normal Checkin time). I explained this to the person at the front desk and he found a room for us that was ready earlier. Saved me from getting ready in a public restroom!!! Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Hotel staff very nice. Breakfast buffet was a bit above the typical with lots of choices and good fresh fruit. Only reason for not 5 star rating is the walls are thin. Could hear others next door.

Staff was very nice. Breakfast was good as was presentation and staff very friendly and attentive reported very loose toilet seat and slow draining tub. Didn’t stay long enough to know if fixed. Hotel is built like a maze difficult to find rooms and difficult to get to.

Just want you’d expect. But we reserved a room with two beds and it only had one. So we ended up in two different rooms far apart. And one of the rooms had a really unpleasant odor, like old socks.
