It was average. The hotel was being remodeled during our stay which was not a huge issue. Pool was great for the kids and room was a decent size. We didn't have enough towels in our room and the service was slow when going to the front desk.

Best ??? western ????

AC unit did not cool good. Television offered no channels to watch. They took up breakfast before the designated time ended. Although I booked on no hidden fees and taxes I was charged anyway. Tried to dispute and would’ve gone somewhere else but it was late evening and I was tired so I just paid.
