They put me in last room on 1st floor, if the the door wasn’t propped open and cigarette smoke blew right into my room, it was banging and people talking loudly right outside my room. Parking lot was empty, I am sure many other rooms were open. Killed multiple spiders in my room.

Best Western-Best Choice

We only stayed overnight; however, the curb appeal, lobby, hallways, rooms and breakfast area were excellent. We were a very late arrival, and the Manager was gracious and offered us an extra hour on checkout. We really appreciated that. We were able to get a good night's sleep in a very comfortable, clean room. I love the extra counter and sink outside the bathroom. A woman definitely designed theses rooms! We go up to Gaylord every Wednesday before the Labor Day weekend and need a room for just one night before checking into our long weekend lodging, and we have found our permanent Hotel!
