Adjacent to Phillips Morris. The hotel shares a parking lot with another hotel - all are on a service road. Many trucks in/out. The road is in awful shape (potholes, etc.). There is a Starbucks and Subway. The hotel restaurant does not have enough employees, to keep up with a busy weekend night (neither does the McDonalds next door). Floors are noisy with foot traffic. Kids liked the pool!

Telisa

So once at the counter to check in I was given a more than expected amount to check in so I questioned it and was told they require a $25 per night incidental deposit but Hotels.com says $50 for the entire stay. So the lady that was trying to check me in made it like its always $25 per night and Im like Im staying 5 nights so basically Best Western missed out on $600 because they could not hold $125
