Best Western has always been great. I've never had one complaint. The small fridge and microwave was perfect. The coffee maker with pods is an extra step up that most hotels in the same price range dont have.

The room itself was spacious enough for my needs but here is a list of issues that I had: The drain from the bath tub was very weak. The bed/ mattress was pretty shot It was noisy until 10pm ish as the room was facing a major road. The outdoor spool looked nice and the staff was helpful.
