The hotel was fine, the staff was friendly and helpful however we waited 10 min. At the front before checking in ( I had to go and look for an employee) though she was helping maintain è and apologized. The first room they gave us smelled like weed, so they gave us another room, and it was much better. I would stay again for a short visit.

The woman at the night desk was very rude. Did not interact at all. Difficult to understand. Did not explain about security deposit just demanded a credit card. She explained when we pushed but not well. Hotel needs facelift.

I stayed at this Best Western during a busy Parents Weekend and paid a premium rate, but unfortunately, it was a really disappointing stay. I had to switch rooms multiple times due to cleanliness issues—including one room that had soiled sheets. The staff’s response to that was really unhelpful. Overall, not the experience I expected for the price.

While the lobby and breakfast area were; the rooms need a huge upgrade. The lighting was not very good. There was dust on the coffee maker in the closets and in various corners of the room. It just felt dingy. Not what I expected. The bed was good. The bathroom was upgraded but you can see a pink film forming at the seams of the tile b enclosure. It’s a shame. With a little more this could be a very nice stay. Also the soaps don’t smell good. Sorry

We paid almost $500 USD for the room. When we entered it smelt old/smoke-ish. We breifly had my sister in law there who also noticed. The staff service was lovely but we booked the room for the jetted tub. When we went to use the tub, the one piece where water dispenses when the jets are on was COVERED in mold. We took pictures & let the desk know. All she said was "oh? Okay." She seemed nice but it was a lot of money on a room advertised for it's tub, which we couldn't use for safety hazard reasons and took pictures of to show front desk. Super unsafe. For $100 more we could have had a suite at the hilton. It was upsetting as we chose this suite instead for the tub.

Would stay again

There is no actual hotel lounge. Its just a steak house connected to the hotel and it was supposed to be open but it wasnt. There was rarely anyone at the front desk. Breakfast was good. Bed was very comfortable. Ice machine was broken on second floor. Very close to Lakeview Amphitheater. Would stay again
