It was fine. Nothing special. Pretty standard motel if you stay in the outside rooms. Pool doesn’t work/is closed. Weight room is messy and unkept. Breakfast was meh. At least could make a waffle. It’s not worth the price. Probably more like a $60-70 motel but certainly no major flaws or grossness or anything like that.

Bring disinfectant spray or wipes

At check in, no one was at desk. Had to wait under 5 minutes. No info given on breakfast or parking, although there is a laminated info sheet in the room. After 1st night of 2 night stay, key didn’t work. Had to waste 15 minutes walking to office and asking them to fix the keys. Window and shower curtains had oil or grease stains. Bed was comfy. Shower worked. Sink drain was clogged and would fill sink after one hand wash. See picture…Light switch works and gave us all a good laugh, but this is the quality workmanship you’ll find in this Best Western MOTEL.

There are two sections of this note, a 5-7 story tower and a two story motel like rooms separated from the tower, where you park in from them. Without prior info we were taken to the Motel section which had issues with heater, etc. Breakfast was lower grade place.
