Don't waste your money here. I don't know how they managed to attach Best Western to their name, but it definitely doesn't meet the standards for any chain hotel I've stayed in. Dirty floors with floor boards coming apart, dirty and dusty walls, mildew and water damage in the bathroom. The walls were paper thin and you could hear everything in the adjoining rooms. People were out smoking and drinking on the steps outside our room until close to midnight. If I hadn't prepaid for this room, we would have never stayed.
