Road trip '26
Pros:

The location was next to the interstate and only 10 minutes from the Falls and downtown.
The outdoor pool was great, nobody else had one!
The room was nice and the bed comfy.
The pancake machine at the breakfast buffet was awesome!
Just push the button and in a couple minutes you have light fluffy pancakes with no mess.
Plenty of parking and lots of trees in the lot for shade.

Cons:

Housekeeping did not come to our room to clean and replace the towels.
I had to grab towels from a cleaning cart in the hall.
The shower provided warm but not hot water.

Zero stars
Pros:

The pool, for the short time it was working was nice. Closed most of the time for unknown reasons.

Cons:

Dirty, smelly, unkempt. Rooms not cleaned nor restocked. 1 bar of soap to share between sink, in the room, and the shower. 2 towels for 4 people. Room service would bring more towels to your room at request. Pool towels have to be picked up at the front desk only and far from the pool area. Very noisy air conditioning .
Poor signage in a complicated design.
For the price point I expected more. I will not stay at any Best Western after this stay. Horrible hotel.
Smelled of marijuana in the halls was very strong.

Horrible, but half was to blame on Mother Nature
Pros:

Comfort. Personal encounters with staff; quick and sufficient responses to my questions/requests.

Cons:

Late evening/night there was a terrible disturbance with another male guest and his child. Very much noise, lack of parental control. Lack of respect for the other guests. At one point it sounded like he got into an altercation with another guest who had complained. I had gone back to sleep, and then heard arguing between staff? law enforcement? and the guest involved? Anyway, it was so disruptive for two or three hours, if not more. Then the storm came, It started with a HUGE boom, thunder, which I thought was an action related to the earlier incident with the agitated guest. However, it was quickly following by more of the strong storm, which couldn't be helped. But when checking out in the morning, I heard there was a lot of water damage and noticed that flashing lights in the fire alarms. I never had been alerted or heard an alarm.

The night staff were willing to assist me in fixing a mistake I made when booking.
