Could be better

Check in was a virtual agent. I arrived about an hour before check in time. I figured I'd see if the rooom was available but it wasn't. No problem, I asked if they could recommend a restaurant on the nearby river and the agent said there was a grocery store across the street where I could get food. Really? I came back later and ittook a long time to check in. I guess the issue was with connectivity as she was in Columbia. Is Best Western that greedy that they have to outsource this work? This lack of personal touch was very disappointing. The rooms also could use more attention. The lamp by the beds didn't work. We figured out it was the outlet and had to mive the beds to plug it into another one. Seem tje cleaning staff should have noticed this.

Good for families with dogs

Worked well for weekend stay for our family with multiple dogs in each room. Our room did have animal odor undoubtedly from previous occupants, but not bad enough to disturb our sleep. We have stayed in their pet friendly rooms in the past and odor wasn’t an issue.

Nice hotel wit an excellent restaurant next door. Room was big. Very strange check in via kiosk with a person in Columbia. That really turned me off. What if there is something wrong in the room? Who do I contact.

Stay FAR away

Check was a humanless kiosk with a virtual person in Columbia on the computer screen. My techs were very uncomfortable providing ID and credit card through the machine. They asked the front desk "manager" who finally came out to leave the rooms unserviced as they were staying two nights and did not need cleaning. One of the rooms was completely gone through and items strewn all over while they were on a jobsite. When the tech confronted the front desk they had no viable reason to offer. All night long cars come and go and the noise level was extreme. My techs had stayed at this property a few years ago and it was NEVER like this! To be honest, a refund should be offered.
