The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the interior and exterior of the room. The courtyard patio was cute too. I wish I’d had time to sit outside for a while!

Liked: Staff & service
Couldn’t believe that it was rated 8.0 on hotels.com site. Breakfast was minimal of bottled apple juice, packaged muffins choice of three. Coffee or tea. Not much for $99 a night. The tv had issues then they moved me to another room, which also had tv connect issues. The guy came and got it turned on but not many channels on DiecrTV to watch. Lots in Spanish listed. Spider was in shower in morning, washed him down drain prior to getting in. Only to find no body wash, really. Housekeeping needs to be replaced seriously. Nightstand drawer wouldn’t stay shut.
The staff was lovely but the housekeeping and outside maintenance are poor. we arrived to a nice large room but after starting to unpack pulled back the bed coverlet and found a very large poop stain in the center of the sheet on one side!! And then noticed debris on the bathroom floor and a small pool of water on the bedroom floor in front of the TV! We moved (with some help) to a suite for the inconvenience. That floors in that room were very dirty - blackened socks and bare feet. The supposed breakfast was coffee with little coffee mate creamers (artificial), bananas, sweetened apple juice, Activia yogurts that were artificially flavored and way too sweet, and then prepackaged muffins that had 34 grams of sugar and seed oils in them. This is not breakfast and should not be advertised as such - it is more like dessert. Again, the staff was pleasant and apologetic.
There was an empty CBD vape wrapper in the night stand, dirt in the dresser. After walking around the room barefoot for about an hour our feet were filthy. The shower curtain isn't long enough so water collects on the floor. The sink faucet was not tight to the sink. The hair dryer is mounted on the wall opposite the outlet so it cannot be plugged in witjout an extension cord. We had to use the lamp as an extension cord. The breakfast is lame. Homeless people in the park a cross the street and in the gravel parking lot behing the hotel. I've seen worse dives, so I didn't give it 1 star.

Very poor breakfast selection. Not like the advertisement at all. If you’re not going to offer breakfast as listed, then you should change your website.
Breakfast was sliced bread ( no butter or topping of any kind) . Manager stated very rudely that she "put out every thing she had " for breakfast. Advertising that they serve a Continental breakfast is false. Cleaning staff are yelling at each other from early morning to check out time which means no sleep for guests past the early hours. Fire alarm goes off for reasons unknown. This place is hell on earth !!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The tv never worked and there was no continental breakfast there was nothing there
While the staff was very polite and friendly, the rest of the stay was very disappointing. There was no soap/body wash in the room. I went to the front desk and requested a refill of the body wash in the shower but never got any the first day. So I went back to the desk day two and still never got any soap. I used shampoo, but really??? No soap?? No napkins or plastic service wear at the very skimpy breakfast. Toilet seat broken…..no screens on windows…a/c temp was set and unchangeable (locked out if changing). Internet connections were unstable…worst of all, I didn’t feel safe: my door handles were rattled by unknown persons throughout the night, etc etc.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
there was only two thread bare towels for three people. the people upstairs started walking around loudly at 5:00 am (I know that is out of the hotels control but when the hotell is not full maybe stagger the rooms)
The hotel is old and deteriorating. The door frame had been crowbarred open and the slots for the deadbolt and door handle were nonexistent . The bathroom fan screeched and didn't work. It had an ancient whirlpool tub that is permanently stained, with very high sides that are difficult for older healthy adults. The hot water was tepid at times, and just warm enough at other times. (A bath, if you were brave enough to used the tub, would be cold by the time it even slightly filled). It was just dingy with age. Location is great. Parking lot is poorly lit. Paid a premium during the Gem show.

The room was clean. That was the only positive. The staff at night were loud and the smell of smoke and weed wafted around. The tv remote did not work, and after mentioning it three times it was left unfixed however they kept accessing the tv remotely at 4 am. The water in the shower dripped constantly. And the staff was either rude when bring things up or just acted like the did not care. Never again.

Staff was great, check in was easy. Room was fine.
Like a Motel 6 but at inflated prices. The photos and description are fraudulent.
It is not a Best Western Hotel.
There is no "cooked-to-order breakfast in a garden setting."
There is no "on-site American restaurant."
The "buffet breakfast" is an absolute joke. You might get a bagel. Or an orange. Or a yogurt cup. But if you arrive after 8AM you might get nothing. Pathetic.
There is no daily housekeeping unless you request it every day. I requested daily housekeeping but received it only once out of 3 days.
I have reported this false advertising to Expedia and have requested a refund. I hate being scammed.
The first room had no telephone, refrigerator, no bars of soap, insufficient towels for two people. The shower stall was was cracked and dirty.
We changed rooms, again not enough towels, we left the room for the day, came back the room was not cleaned, we were told we needed to request that we needed to have room cleaned, but was not told that at check-in. Was rudely told that a sign was posted in the lobby, we did not notice any sign. All in all it was a horrible stay.
It’s no longer a Best Western. I made the reservation 3 months ago, & it took 2 hours to check in. Room wasn’t ready until almost 5 pm, very overpriced for what it was. I wouldn’t take a shower because jacuzzi tub was so dirty. Breakfast that was included was a bagel & jelly, no cream cheese. There was coffee, but no cream for it. There was no soap to wash your hands at the sink, only dispensers on the wall in bathroom maybe 10 feet away. I asked for soap. They said they were out of it. I will never stay there again, & it’s a hotel I have stayed in many times. It’s in terrible shape now!
