Would stay again even though....
Good stay even though they was updating and renovating the hotel. Room was right next to the elevator but could hardly hear anything when people go off the elevator unless they was be really loud. Only thing that was a little questionable was that the breakfast selection didn't change one morning was eggs sausage pancakes, thought next day would change up to maybe bacon but didn't. Other than that. I would stay again.

Just ok
Very dated hotel, but they are in the process of updating some rooms. There is no ice machine or vending area at all. Had to switch rooms immediately because of a door issue. Room was just ok, certainly could've been cleaned better. Linens had hair stuck in them.

We always check the mattresses for evidence of bedbugs when we arrive at a hotel. The bed comforter had a stain and the mattress had evidence of bedbugs. There were mattress stains and possibly black mold. I found another hotel, wee packed up and left. We told the hotel staff that we would not be staying and I shared photos of the room.

The breakfast was not good. They ran out of things and the eggs were really salty. The hot tub jets were dirty in my king room.

We spent one night at this hotel. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows were like balls with all the crumbled material in them. We couldn't sleep also because of the AC noise. It was loud like a car engine. The next day we were exhausted and couldn't enjoy our trip. The bedding linens were not ironed and all wrinkled. They looked like someone slept on them and were not changed. The flooring in the hallways also needs cleaning. The breakfast was average and unfortunately they use plastic forks and knives which is environmentally unfriendly and tacky for a hotel to use. I can't recommend this hotel.

Room didn’t have soap or toiletries in the room. Additionally, the toilet paper holder was unsecured in the wall with metal screws displayed openly in the holder. Addressed with the Front Desk personnel and was given soap and toilet paper. The holder wasn’t fixed. Later in the evening, the Wi-fi went out. After calling the Front Desk and reporting, I was told to re-boot my computer which I had done before notifying the staff. I was told that it would be addressed and it was not. Extremely disappointed than an establishment such as Best Western doesn’t maintain higher standards. If you don’t have an issue, then this will be a good place. If there is any issue, it won’t get resolved. If another choice is available, I would consider staying somewhere else.
