This hotel has been upgraded in the past few years and though the outside is still dated, the inside is well taken care of. Nice pool for the kids, plenty of parking, the breakfast was very clean and well maintained and the beds were comfortable. Its a great affordable choice.

This property was interesting as it is an older property with very distinguished decor which I appreciated. A few things could be improved. Our entry door into the building was not capable of locking. Our room was very clean and I appreciated the amenities in the room. My only suggestion is that they get better and cleaner towels. The towels or soiled should not have been in the room. I travel with face towels myself, but I’m sure some people do not. The staff was very friendly. Our breakfast was good, and it was nice to have a hot option as well. We asked for an extra hour to check out and haf no problem. The price was very reasonable for the stay. I would stay at this property again.

Enjoyed the amenities, location was nice. The hotel has lots of outdoor space for walking or sitting. Inside was clean and quiet. Painting and caulting in some areas, especially in the bathroom, was sloppy and unprofessional. The lounge was closed, apparently permanently. Breakfast was nice. Fresh and warm. We requested an additional night, it was available, but the rate was more than we paid for the three previous nights combined. So much for loyalty.

I was not aware we couldn’t add a three year-old to our reservation so it was a tussle. I wanted my money back but then we settled for $40 to add an extra guest. We had a good time overall though and they were super nice.

We have stayed here many times before and this time I had a few complaints. There is no fan in the bathroom and the tub was not draining properly after taking a shower. Pillows in room were very uncomfortable for your neck however the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was just ok. Eggs had a weird consistency and oder. The potatoes were very tasty. I chose this Best Western because of location. If I return for a stay I would hope for some improvements
