I thought the affiliation with Best Western would make this hotel okay. However arrived before 10 and there was no attendant. Luckily I managed the check in process only to be very disappointed with our room. I went to use the restroom and a pregnant type spider was in the toilet paper roll. Then I pulled back my bed covers to find a stain on the top sheet. The next three layers down to the mattress was a large stain as of no one changed the sheets. The mattress pad didn't protect the mattress either. I was told I'd get a refund. I do not see it on my account and it's been over a week.

This is a motel with very little service provided. It is not a hotel. When I arrive at 8pm, the “so called” “office” is locked. I was instructed to pick up the room key from a locker but it was the wrong key. I called the phone and get the key from another locker box. I got a handicap room although I booked a regular one. The show is a disaster! The towels

It is a pleasant room. I had to call the help number to ask where the ice was located. Its at the restaurant next door. From 1 AM until about 2:30, there were people moving what sounded like furniture outside the door and talking. That wasn't management's fault, just clueless people. Unfortunately, i didn't sleep and had to wake up at 4. I like the hotel, it's a little different though because you're pretty much on your own. That's the way they operate and I don't mind too much, unless I need something and they do answer the help line. If you're an independent person who doesn't want to be bothered, you'll be happy.

This was such an odd stay. There is no person at the office... just a locked door and a number to call to have them unlock a key box for you. Okay, no problem, but it is unsettling to not have someone onsite if problems arise. The hotel itself is called part of the Best Western "Signature Collection," presumably because they have done a lot of upgrades to the flooring, the walls, and the doors. It also had a heated toilet seat. Again, that would all be great but then, in contrast, we had only 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper left on the roll and no other rolls of toilet paper available. Fortunately, there was a box of Kleenex and we were only staying one night so we endured. Also, there were no wash cloths or handtowels... only bath towels and one of them was covered in stains (it clearly had been washed but was still dirty looking from all of the dark spots and rust-looking stains). There were stains on the bed linens as well (photo of my pillowcase is shown). So gross. Even if it has been washed, it needs to be thrown away if the stains don't come out in the wash. No clinet paying $200+ a night should see that when they lay down to sleep. And the pillows were cheap and super uncomfortable. The bed mattress was fine, though, no issues there, but the pillow quality was awful, the linens and towels had stains, the sink was clogged up and would make weird noises in the middle of the night like it was trying to unclog (like gurgling sounds). TV glitchy. We had to laugh or we'd cry.

I liked the room and the Turkish cafe next door. Unfortunately, when i arrived at almost midnight, there was no hot water and i really needed a shower. I called the customer service and the employee was very apologetic. He said they weren't going to charge me for the night. Im not sure if that's true because the room was already paid for through Expedia. He said the hot water would be repaired around 10 AM. Im hoping that's true because i have an event to attend today. It's 9:40 AM so im just waiting.

Had some problems with the key system. Both initial retrieval of our key and then it wouldn’t work mid stay. The staff were very accessible and helpful. There was strong pot smoke in the area every night. The room and bathroom was very clean and maintained.

The basic room was mostly adequate, decent bed, EXCELLENT shower. The makeover from a former BW was superficially good. Fresh paint accentuated the updated mid-century vibe but broken window frames created security concerns. Although there was no staff on site, ( self serve entry), when my door key stopped working, the owner quickly arrived to replace batteries in the key card reader.

Nice, cozy. Refurbished property by BW Signature Prompt courteous phone staff . Self check-in with key boxes. Just enter code that is texted to you. No having to go through front desk. No frills but great for a quick business trip or if you just want an easy in and out experience while visiting the area.
