We had a great stay at the Best Western gateway Grand. I got caught up at a funeral and had to send my wife to check into a hotel for us so I sent them a text message and they arranged immediately for her to be able to check in for us even though she wasn't on the original reservation by name. I really appreciated the quick online text resolution of our challenge

My original room had sheets that should be burned. My second room was better but still had stained mattress pad. You would think that these items would be replaced with new items once they reached this condition.

Do not ever stay here for a home Florida football game. The opposing team stayed here. We couldn’t check in before 7:30pm, we had to park on a dirt parking lot and Uber to the game, and we were not allowed to use the restrooms. When we returned from the game at 11:45pm we had to wait in line for 30 minutes to check in. We will NEVER stay here again.
