The stay was very noisy being it’s right on the highway. My biggest gripe would be the continental bkfst was very limited. Best Western usually does a lot better.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the check in was very good and the staff were very friendly. There are 2 reasons I did not give 5 stars. The water pressure was not good and there was a “party” in the parking lot right outside of our room that kept me up later than I would have liked.

Disappoint stay not worth price

Check-in was smooth, which was probably the best part of our stay. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. The hotel is right next to the interstate, and we heard traffic noise all night long — definitely not restful. The room itself was a disappointment. The floors were dirty, the chairs were stained and nasty, and the door had to be kicked open just to get in — not ideal for a woman over 50 dealing with extra weight. That alone was embarrassing and unsafe. To make things worse, the pool was unavailable (no explanation given), and the complimentary popcorn at check-in was stale. Room service tried to come into the room at 10 a.m., even though check-out was listed as 12 — not okay after the restless night I had. Parking was terrible; we had to park far from the room, and the steps weren’t anywhere close. Honestly, we didn’t even try the free breakfast after all that. At $140 a night, this was a massive overcharge for what felt like a 2-star experience at best. Overall, I’m really sad and frustrated with our stay. I would not recommend this hotel unless serious improvements are made. The rates were higher because there are a lot of other hotels within walking distance of this one that are better and worth the price.

The first thing that hit us when we walked into our room was the smell. It was either a pet smell or carpet that was left damp and didn't dry well at some point. I'm voting on the pet smell because a guest was checking in next to us with a dog and needed a one of their pet friendly rooms, which are the ones on the lower level on the back side of the property. That was where our room was located. There was mold up on the ceiling in the corners of the bathroom. The room really needed a complete update (no USB ports at all!) as well as a better paint job as the corners of the walls were maybe painted by a 5 yr old. I will say that the desk employee was friendly and when he noticed I used a cane he saw that our room was on the 2nd floor and there were no elevators. So, he moved us to a lower-level room. Hence the room in the pet friendly hallway. I couldn't find a room at any other hotel, so I took a chance on this one. Won't be selecting Best Western again.
