Horrible!

It was absolutely horrible. They didn’t let me check into my room. Hotels.com couldn’t see the reservation and Best Western literally denied me access to the room I paid for. Had to sleep in my car outside the hotel with no blankets or pillows. Very unhappy with both Hotels.com and Best Western for either parties taking responsibility for this.

I have stayed here before.

This is the 3rd year I have stayed here since moving out of CA and only going back for visits. It's decent enough. Not outstanding and if you like a lot of luxury probably not for you but I find it to be OK to stay. Clean and comfortable
