Mary's view

I am amazed that Best Western would put their brand on such a property as this. A new coat of paint on the outside does not trump ill-maintained rooms and ancient bedding. Two good things about this hotel were a very hot shower with strong spray and a cheery, helpful receptionist. However, one of the rooms assigned to our party had not even been made up that day, so had to be reassigned.

I liked that the staff REALLY tries to make this a great hotel. They are very professional and care.The room is clean. The beds are comfortable. There is a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Coffee maker in room. The fact is that the rugs are old and stinky, the bed linens are cheap and worn, and the room smells like pot. The pool is not heated.

Sad to say the room was filthy. Dropped a damp face cloth on the floor and picked it up to see mud. Travel paint crew staying there decided to have a rousing soccer game right outside my door. Breakfast milk was off.

Horrible. I reserved a non smoking room and when I got there they gave me a key for my room when I opened the door it stink like a hookah smoking lounge. When I went back to the main office they told me that they didn’t have any other room available. So I had to drive back home 3 hours. Never again

Good for a short stay.

It was a great location for an interview I had. The bed was comfortable and the continental breakfast was a good morning start. I had an issue with smelling smoke from another room and I was in a non smoking room. Also, the shower was lukewarm and I couldn’t get hot water at all. The small fridge was a nice size and the tv had good channels. It was good for a 2 day stay.
