We we went to breakfast and the juice was out as well as the yogurt. Went to front desk, told them, and she immediately went and changed them out. Front desk was super friendly and even allowed us to swim longer than pool was open. Pillows are like the size of throw pillows lol which was odd but they were still comfy. Was a stain on our comforter that almost looked like baby food could have been spilt but no other complaints. Will stay again if we ever need to come back this way. View was also really nice of the water.

Hotel is in a great location, safe, and many dining options close by. Was a little sad the lake was frozen and didn't get to see the usual birds. Breakfast was the same both mornings, was hoping for a little variety. I guess staying if December is a bit different.

It is a bad idea to have motion activated lights in the entryway. We woke each other up several times over night. A bathroom nightlight of some sort , however, is very much appreciated.

The phrase, putting lip stick on a pig comes to mind. The room, on the surface, looked nice but once you start looking around, there were stains on the lamp shades, Bible, and elsewhere around the room. The walls are paper thin. There was a large group of unsupervised football players yelling, slamming doors, and knocking on our door over and over through the night. In talking with the staff, they were not very accommodating. There are VERY ACTIVE train tracks you can hear throughout the night. Our entire family did not get a good nights sleep, to say the least. We requested a different room, were told none were available. Will never be staying at a Best Western ever again.
