Pictures on line look better than the rooms in reality. Our bed was hard and on a slant towards the wall. The room was clean, the bathroom appeared upgraded compared to the main room. Overall the room looked tired. I’ve stayed in many best westerns but this one was ‘mediocre western’.

Lack of information

I did not end up staying here as I was given incorrect information when I made the reservation and was not made aware of the difference until I received an email the day of my stay. I ended up making a reservation at another hotel that had what I required and it was too late to cancel the booking so therefore I ended up paying for 2 rooms in different hotels.

A pleasant check in and check out, staff were very friendly. Nice touch with the free breakfast, it looked like repairs were going on beside the elevator. The shower was horrible, as you can’t turn the shower head on without getting yourself wet, it’s the way they made the shower door, on the one side it doesn’t slide, there’s no other access to turn the shower head on. Location was good, but the neighborhood is a bit dicey, nevertheless we did walk to the Circle K Convenience store, both evenings we stayed, so it’s not that unsafe, but…
