JANET, Franktown

We booked the Best Western thinking it would be similar to other Best Westerns. Nope. They only had 2nd story rooms with no elevators. My 90 year old husband cannot do stairs. So we were left on the street with no place to stay, as well as having to pay for 2 nights when we could not get into a room. A horrible experience, with no concern from the manager.

When we booked this “Best Western”, we wrongly assumed it would have similar amenities to all other Best Westerns. When we arrived to check in, were told there were no rooms available on the first floor and that there was no elevator. My 90 year old husband cannot climb stairs. So we were left on the street with no room, but were charged the $300 due to the non-refundable policy. Pretty shocking for us old folks. No more Best Westerns for us 😣

They were remodeling rooms at the resort, so the mattress was new, but they put it on this Metal platform so every time you walked by, you would accidentally kick the platform and it would make a horrible noise if you move too much on the bed it would also be loud. The shower was really gross. You can tell it had not been cleaned in a really long time the bathroom fan did not work.

The location served my needs, BUT the property is run down, falling apart, security lock half off the door, towel hanger off the wall and lying on the sink counter, poor lighting, dark and drab furnishings, dirty floor and in general a poor member of the Best Western brand. The office staff is VERY nice, but the property needs a total overhaul, new lighting, a more contemporary look, decent coffee with the breakfast, and a general uplift.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I suppose the property served our purpose. But, during our first night we discussed moving to another hotel but feared we would still be charged for our second night. It looks like the extended Vermont hotel/motel program is still happening here. There were gusts next to us that purchased a good sized gas grill and were preparing their meals with it on our shared wooden deck. Thus, we did not feel too safe about this. The slamming doors next to us were annoying as well prompting our wanting to move. But, we decided to “ make the best of it “ but would not rebook here. I found two sheet metal nails within my parking spot . I’ve been in the hotel business for 30 years, I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews but a property can always use guest feedback good or bad.
