When I called for a crib morning of check in, they said no problem. However when I checked in they said it’s based on availability, which makes sense but that is NOT what I was told. So no crib the first night. If I had known I would have brought my own. Oh by the way the “crib” is a pack n play. The floor smelled like weed on my floor, seems they couldn’t figure out who it was. The room layout of the room is was odd and the pictures are misleading. One overnight staff person was rude and dismissive when I inquired about the STRONG natural gas odor in the lobby. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had, will not stay at any Best Western again.

The staff were very helpful and nice. The room was clean and had plenty of towels. The breakfast was not good at all! They advertised bacon, eggs and pancakes. They only had bread, cereal, coffee, ran out of eggs, syrup but no pancakes, no bacon, no pastries or muffins. Everyone there was very disappointed.

Reception was friendly, the rooms smelled like sweaty socks and it felt dirty. If I touched the floor for any reason to pick up something I had dropped you can instantly feel the nastiness of the rugs. They would come everyday just to tightly up the bed sheets for the adult beds the bunk bed was always messy. We never received any restocks on the shampoo nor clean sheets, nor clean towels or anything else. Every night we heard noises from the air conditioners and the vents. Not satisfied with the stay and don’t think I would stay here again.
