Not the best best western

The hotel is in need of maintenance everywhere. Scuffed doors and furniture, terrible odor in hallway, also the sitting area in the back is unkept. Chair fabric falling apart. Someone will end up falling through one of them. No blow dryer in my room and not to be found in the hotel.

this hotel was very run down and dirty. dripping shower, mold in shower, paint chip flakes on floors every where. wall paintings hanging off wall...tears in carpet, elevator had gum in vents. The pictures on line are totally NOT what the hotel looks like inside or outside. I thought I had the wrong hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful though.

Needs a lot of work

The staff were all very nice and as accommodating as they could be. I stopped at the front desk to let them know the smoke detector wasn’t on the wall and the bath tub faucet won’t turn off. An employee came up to install a smoke detector but couldn’t fix the running faucet because he didn’t have the parts. Like I said the staff was very nice but management must not care about the hotel. Also the elevator was making a lot of noise, kind of scary and we were on the 4th floor.

I chose this property specifically because the website indicated airport shuttle service. I called to confirm the day before travel, and the person answering the phone replied that they did have an airport shuttle. Just as I waas literally getting ready to end the call, they added, "well, as long as it's between 5am and 5pm". My flight arrived at 815pm, so that was an additional $20 to spend for a cab.
