Wish I went to a different best western

This location didn’t give the feels a normal best western does. I was really excited to stay at this one because of how beautiful the area is but it felt run down.

It’s just a place to stay if you need a bed for a night. Has some permanent residents that are loud at night. Door on the room I stayed in had a 1 1/2 inch gap on the bottom.

Our wonderful oasis turned disturbing

We have stayed here many times and had wonderful experiences each time. This year was a bit different. It wasn’t the hotels fault but some of the guest were interesting characters to say the least like working on motorcycles during the night and raving them up, being approached by people strung out on drugs who were fellow guests with arrest anklets on. The facility was clean but I was uneasy with the clientele. I ran into others who felt the same. I’m a very open person but it felt a bit on the edge at times.
