Staff was very friendly and nice. The breakfast was good with a nice place to sit. The rooms were nice and clean. The elevator smelled weird like moldy water.

Room was ok just to sleep. The room that we stayed in looked like it had black mold on the roof. Also the lights and fixtures had rust all over. Bathtub looked it had not been clean, the floor looked very dirty. Room smelled very musty. The towels that they had for use were still dirty and stained with something red.
Other than the room, check in staff was very professional and helpful. Workers that worked at the breakfast location were also very friendly and helpful.

I had a terrible experience at this Best Western and would not recommend this to anyone.
When we checked in on Memorial Day, I was informed we would be getting a queen room because that's what was booked. I had the reservation booked for over 2 weeks on Expedia and I booked a king room. My husband is very tall, so we always book a King. They were sold out and had the wrong info. Nothing we could do, naturally it was a busy weekend. We accepted the queen. Roomwas clean and comfortable, however, one of the beds was sagging on one side.
This wasn't the major issue.
I was woken up around 6am Sunday by banging and scraping noises upstairs, the doors must be so thin, because I could also hear every noises and chatter in the hallway, could also hear people in the room adjacent to us. I am normally a deep sleeper, but the noise was insane.
I waited a little bit, thinking, okay, maybe the housekeeper is cleaning upstairs and it would stop when they were done with the room. It did not.
Around an hour later, noises had gotten worse, I called the front desk, only to be told that the room they put us in was below the breakfast room, and they try not to put anyone in that room!! My husband and I had some earplugs in our bags and had to use them in order to try to sleep. This goes on until 10, when the breakfast time stops.
Management had no reasons as to why they put people in this room KNOWING it was noisy. Do not stay in #322. Inexcusable. Refund promised, but not delivered. Lies.

We enjoy the spacious room. The light switch in the bathroom sparked and we didn’t have lights for a bit. They did fix it right away. We didn’t have an ironing board or hair dryer but they brought it right away.

The property was well maintained. The room was outdated and the sofa bed was in terrible condition and very uncomfortable. There was an old smell throughout the suite as well.

The staff was nice, but the rooms were just ok. Ours smelled funny, like stale cigarette smoke.
To get to the pool you have to walk out of the hotel, it's by the parking lot. There was a cigarette butt in the hot tub.
It was very difficult to park in the parking lot. The lot is narrow as are th3 spots.

El hotel está en remodelación por lo que algunos cajones de estacionamiento los tienen ocupados con materiales por lo que eventualmente tuvimos que estacionar el carro fuera del área techada
Estacionamiento por el cual por cierto me cobraron a razón de $ 26 dls/noche, cargo que en ningún momento estaba mencionado al momento de reservar cargo que me parece injusto e ilegal por no haber sido notificado
