This location was probably one of the worst places to stay at. The staff was nice but the room was very uncomfortable. The bed was super tall and very, very soft that you sunk into it. There was a train that would go by. The walls were thin and you can hear the neighbors talking and doing stuff. I don't think I would stay at this location again.

The staff were all friendly, the facility was exceptionally clean, and the breakfast was better than we expected. I didn’t have a pet, but it’s pet friendly and clean. The pool could use some cleaning but overall the hotel was well-kept and lovely.

Simple Overnight Stay

Nice, clean overnight stay while on a family road trip. Breakfast was included and there was something for everyone. The only bummer was the hotel was stingy with their ice. All the other hotels we stayed at on our 8 day road trip made plenty of ice machines available for guests - making it easy for us to keep our family’s food cold in the ice chest. Best Western was specific in only allowing to use their small bucket for ice and having to walk all the way to the lobby area to get it. Just an odd quirk that ended up standing out after comparing them to the other stays on our trip. Overall, we had a good sleep and moved on to our next destination.
