Basic room. Food options were ok and the outside area was sketchy. Free parking and kitchen staff were great. Air conditioner was loud and made sleeping very difficult.

Parking lot is extremely small, other guests were taking up 2 spots making it harder to park. The free breakfast isn’t available long enough, was told they were serving anymore and seen a few other guests walk out with plates. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was a bit small but not bad for a 1 night stay.

Tried this property looking for a cheap room while in town. Bed was uncomfortable, hot water wasn’t working in the shower, and mandatory checkout by 11am even though I was the only guest. Will look somewhere else next time I’m in town

The toilet kept running; the hair dryer and fridge were broken. Requested for housekeeping services but never were honored. I didn’t expect that. I have stayed at different Best Western Hotel locations before but the experience here was not the best
