Not enough staff, the front desk lady went to get lunch, and no one was available to check in guests until she came back, so I had to wait to get my room after a long and tiring day. They should definitely have more people

Breakfast was very disappointing—they were out of most items. I went to get a yogurt and, unfortunately, they had just run out. The only options left were cereal, milk, and tea. Even the juice machine was out of order. The pool was cold, though the hot tub was okay.

Room was clean. Pillows are rather flat & stiff. Air conditioner quite noisy. In room refrigerator would not stay cold enough to be effective. There was not a microwave. There was very limited countertop space and it felt crowded for two people. No non dairy options at breakfast for creamer or cereal The breakfast area was quite spacious, ,

Our room furniture felt dusty. Pillows were super flat and we needed to ask for extras just for some plush. Breakfast was not great. They ran out of sausage 30min early and did not plan to make more. Sitting area was nasty and we needed to wipe down our table. Not a great experience as we had hoped. The parking was great since it was near the elevator. Elevator was under construction so it was messy in there. Not sure if wed stay there again.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was okay. The amenities could be improved. They say it is a full breakfast but there were basic food missing like fruits (bananas, apples). They have couple of apples and oranges left and once they were finished they never added more fruits. The cupcakes were bad, probably sitting there for couple of weeks unused. Overall, the price of room is over-priced considering the basic amenities and facilities.

The hotel is in the process of updates which need done. The breakfast was great and the staff there were wonderful. The front end ladies were wonderful to deal with both Jessica and Ashley. The cleaning staff need a little more trainer as things were not the greatest. We were out of shampoo and cream rinse when we checked in. I also was upset when our beds were not made properly

Not listed but $26 a day for parking and parking slots are tiny. The breakfast is ok- we’ve had better ones at other best westerns. The waffles are eggs type and not make your own. Husband didn’t like them. Said the make your own is better. The people running the breakfast are amazing. Super clean and they are so friendly. Check in was ok. Loved the hot tub and pool. Convenient location. Had them clean room but they never gave us more shampoo or body wash so had to ask. They weee friendly about it tho. Rooms are decent size. Microwave in lobby.

DO NOT STAY HERE. We did not stay here more than 5 minutes and they refused any kind of refund on our 3 night stay. We still left!!! We experienced what appeared as people living out of the other rooms, my husband put his hand on an old eye contact on the counter. I accidently touched some kind of slime left on the nightstand. My son kicked an old sock and stepped in maybe some orange playdoh that was left in the room. The whole hotel was falling apart. They wanted $26 for parking/night with no gates or security. There were broken down cars from people living there. The supervisor was suppose to call us at 11pm and 5 days later we still have heard nothing. We ended up going down the road to a different Best Western which was the best decision ever. They advised us to call corporate because this hotel was known for being EXTREMELY SKETCHY and gives Best Western a bad name. There was not one other guest parked there other than the ones living out of it. DO NOT bring your family here!!
