Poor Check In
Pros:

It was in a very good location. Right downtown, close to everything. Easy access to train station and airport.

Cons:

Big issues at check in. First, check in time was 4 pm and there were no rooms available and I had to wait for house keeping... this has never happened to me in my life. Second, AND HUGE, I paid for my room in advance and they had no record of my payment so they charged me A SECOND TIME. They did fix it immediately. But I had to prove it showing them my receipt and credit card statement. They tried to blame it on Bookings.com, but I've used Bookings for all my travel arrangements since 2000, but have never stayed at a Best Western and I've never had any problems with Bookings.

无比深刻而美好的入住体验！
Pros:

经理和前台几位工作人员非常热心，尽责。我们租的车碰到一些问题，无法使用了。三位工作人员十分热情地帮助我们同租车公司沟通、协调，最终解决了问题。
我们在使用大堂电脑后遇到了一些麻烦，是我们和酒店都从未遇过的问题。几位工作人员尽力帮忙，他们随后又联系IT专业人员前来帮助，最终解决了问题。
我们对该酒店前台工作人员如此尽心尽责，十分赞赏、感激。以后若有机会，一定会再次选择这家酒店入住。

it was a room
Pros:

liked the room itself, comfortable king sized bed with a small balcony. liked the convenience of having a fridge and microwave. great location as well, near the train station and little italy.

Cons:

got a parking violation within one hour of our stay. was told by staff we could put our parking pass in the car at any time, this inconvenience caused some stress.
the shower temperature was not hot at all, plus it was difficult to adjust temperature.
there was a loud banging noise within air vent, very jarring to wake up to in the middle of the night.
