Everything was real good-staff out front, the sever at the bar in the evening, the room and the food too. The only issue we had was the outrageous noise made by a lacrosse team at 4 in the morning. Not good for a restful stay. Gary

We found our stay at Best Western Premier very comfortable. The bed was firm and had big fluffy pillows. The room and bathroom were both clean. We had breakfast in the morning in their restaurant. It was a buffet style, had lots of the typical choices and was well maintained. The only thing I would have like to make our stay better, would be vending machines on the floors. If you wanted anything, you had to venture downstairs to the front desk area. All in all, we had a good stay.
