Had to wait for front desk person to check in- was 25 minutes when I actually checked my watch- by then I had been waiting and even tried walking in and out. got in the room, unpacked and settled and air conditioning not working. Miserable night sleep trying to ventilate with bathroom fan. Front desk was less than helpful- if I had to go through the effort to get dressed and repack- I would have just left. I was exhausted and already irritated check in took so long.

There was a glitch in my reservation (not caused by Best Western), but Karen at the desk did everything possible to make us welcome and resolve the issue. It's always great to see what a competent person can do to resolve a computer glitch.

Definitely stay here!
Got there late at night after spontaneously booking it 20 minutes prior, and the owner/worker/whoever was finishing setting up our room, met us outside, offered to help us set up the pull out couch and get us more blankets and stuff. He was SO nice. Our room was awesome because it had 3 beds and pull-out (not all do there) and it was CHEAP. Super clean. I wished we could have stayed longer to appreciate it!

Disliked: Amenities
We booked thru Hotels.com. Normally, I make sure to check and double check things to verify what/when I’m making the reservation. I was all set to purchase the night stay but realized I liked tHEIR AIG offer and went back to add it in (it was half price and we were making our way back to our house in FL…a lot of extra anxiety. Hotels.com webpage kept flipping dates on me so I was trying to be sure to veriry. The full AIG price, I would not have bothered with, however, the AIG OFFER for $4.50 of instead $9, I thought sounded great. Went back to page where I left it in my cart, and didn’t realize the site flipped it back to booking THAT night instead of the next night. I contacted right away. They said it was a no show…so basically, to bad, so sad! Se wet me to be that this week, in particular, they could have worked with us.,we needed a room for the night and they wouldn’t have been out a cent! All they would have had to do is change our booking to that night!
