This hotel is easy to find. Right next to Widner U. It is a newer property, and the property is clean and well lit. We had a king suite which was nice due to the sitting area. The breakfast area was clean and well presented. The receptionist (Rae) was extremely polite. Knowledgeable about Best Western and policies. She explained everything we needed to know about the property. The parking was free. Just a little bit of a walk since it is in the back. Only downside. But not a biggie.

Upon check in the lady was nice enough to allow me to get into my room an hour and a half early(no one there). But she charged me an extra $10 fee to do so. That has never happened and I travel a lot. No big deal but thought I should mention

Check-in was great! But despite their clear messaging that smoking is not permitted, someone had clearly been smoking in this room. I’ve never smoked so it was particularly pungent. Everything else was great!

Canx policy is nuts I will never stay there again. I canx my reservation less than 15 mins after making it and was charged full price cause I didn’t notice the dates were wrong. Terrible policy to “STEAL” money from people like that when I never stayed there. I will file this with the BBB.

I was told this was a upgrade and it was not.

My room was supposed to be a king suite but when I got there the room wasn’t available. So they only had one room left which was a queen suite.The wall had a hole in it and the bed couch had stains all on it,the drapery on the bottom of the bed had stains all over it and the wall paper was all bubbling up in the bedroom. I did a third party billing but I see on my bank statement that they charged me for the queen suite when I already paid for the king suite. I will be calling the manager tomorrow about this situation.

This property is what it is - a convenient stay when attending events at Wells Fargo or Subaru Park. We weren't expecting the Ritz - just needed a place to rest our heads and a meal in the AM. I will share some pros and cons, from our experience. The pros: The room was clean and had all we needed for a one night stay. The check in attendant was extremely friendly and accommodating. The location (as noted above) - is about 15 minutes from Wells Fargo and less than 10 minutes from Subaru Park. That being said, the location itself is not great. We stayed here with 2 kids, and I would not likely stay here with them again - especially if parking and walking in and out of the facility at night. Just honestly didn't feel safe in the area. The other con of note - we arrived for breakfast at 9:35AM. There was no hot food and no juices, and we were told "breakfast ends at 10". Part of why we booked this hotel, was that it included breakfast in the rate. If you advertise "breakfast until 10AM" - there should be available breakfast until 10AM. In summary, it's an average, convenient hotel - but I probably wouldn't stay here again.

I travel frequently and have stayed in many hotels, but I have never had such a terrible experience as I did here. The moment I saw a bed bug crawling right next to my pillow, I was absolutely disgusted. I immediately reached out to the manager, expecting them to take the situation seriously, but instead, they refused to talk to me or offer a refund. To make matters worse, when I showed the bed bug (in a tissue) to the staff, they gaslighted me and acted as if they had never seen a bed bug before. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, they had the audacity to suggest that maybe I had brought it with me! The hotel itself is dirty, unsafe, and completely unsanitary. To top it all off, Expedia was no help in getting a refund. Their customer service was frustrating and unhelpful, making an already stressful situation even worse. We ended up checking out at 11:45 PM and had to scramble to find another hotel in the middle of the night. I would never recommend this hotel or this brand to anyone. The lack of cleanliness, professionalism, and customer service is beyond unacceptable. If you value your health and sanity, stay far away from this place!
