Staff was amazing. very nice room. Mine was facing the bay, which was really nice. My only critique is that I was really looking forward to my room being clean when coming back from eating and running errands and it wasn’t I had to ask for fresh towels it was a little disappointing, cause I really like for my room to be clean when I’m gone, but everything else was amazing.

I was extremely unhappy with the hotel. The internet didn’t work, and I was there for work, so I couldn’t get my job done. I complained to the lobby, they connected me with the internet provider (FOX), but they couldn’t fix it. I had to walk across the street to Starbucks to get my work done. Additionally, the staff was not friendly. I would never stay at Best Western again. On top of that, Expedia caused me a lot of problems. There was a glitch in their system, showing three itineraries. How could I have three hotels at the same time, checking in and out simultaneously, half a mile apart? I got charged and had to call five or six times, yet my issue still isn’t resolved. I’ve sent five emails and received no resolution. I will report this to the BBB and leave a bad review if no one gets back to me.
