ok for a quick stay but could use some detailed cleaning
Pros:

The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was decent

Cons:

the curtain was falling off the hooks there were stains on the walls and the lampshade was falling apart. The supplied shampoo/conditioner only conditioner was there no shampoo. You could see through the toilet paper. The fridge rocked, visibly unstable. something dripped on the wall beside the bed and was still there. Things from a previous tenants stay were still in the desk drawer.

deprimente
Pros:

a localização é muito boa e de resto tudo deixou muito a desejar.

Cons:

o hotel é antigo, porem muito bonito. A atual administração nao está cuidando dele como deveria. a limpeza nao é feita, varias teias de aranha nas portas, nos cantos, lençois bem danificados. atendimento de limpeza deixou a desejar, dois dias se reposição das toalhas.
comida é tipica de hotel americano, mas sem nenhuma variação (uma semaa inteira e as mesmas maças), sem outra opção de fruta. o café tambem tinha opção de escolha entre late ou cappucino mas ambos saiam café preto.
não havia reposição do que acabava. se nao acordasse cedo para comer, nao tinha mais bacon, por exemplo.

Do not stay here!
Pros:

The staff was pleasant

Cons:

The room was extremely dirty with the property being in complete disrepair. Many other reviews have noted a pervasive smell of dirty dog and mildew which is probably explained by the carpets and furniture which seem to be over 25 years old and not subject to regular cleaning. The carpets were torn/coming up from the floor, the curtains were ripped, the couch was visibly stained throughout (impressive that stains were visible since it was dark brown). If this were an extremely cheap stay, the awful conditions would be understandable but it's not. Our family showered immediately after leaving as the conditions seemed deeply unsanitary.

Weak 2 star review
Pros:

As I opened the door to my room, I was hit in the face with a heavy humid dirty locker room odor. The greasy glare in the window revealed two handprints on the smeary glass. I turned on the very old sputtering AC unit and the room slowly cooled, but the humidity in the room never really went down. This is an old hotel with banged up furniture, cracked stained lampshades, creaky beds and old carpet. Bathroom ceiling had a large chip of paint hanging and it was dotted with black mold spots. My bath towel had a brown rust stain. Pillows have a plastic-y crunch. Bathroom door would not click shut. I found the staff to be friendly and pleasant. On day two housekeeping kindly replaced our towels, but had run out of washcloths and hand towels, so we only received two bath towels and a bath mat.

Will not stay there again
Pros:

Property is not well maintained (lobby elevator door would not close properly). Dirty carpet in room (our sock feet became black). Mildew on bathroom ceiling above shower. Thin sheets, no mattress cover. Holes in fitted sheet. Breakfast very minimal, was not available at posted time (affected some of the customers needing to leave for work). Uncaring staff. Don't understand how they are keeping the Best Western status, much less the Plus status with Best Western.

Zum nur übernachten war es ok, mehr aber nicht.
Pros:

Die Umgebung war schön.

Cons:

das Hotel war einfach, die Zimmer sehr hörig (man hat alles von den Nachbarzimmern gehört). Leider musste man oft erst bitten, wie um Toilettenpapier, um etwas aufgefüllt zu bekommen.

Pros:

I enjoyed the size of the room.The comfort of the bed , the convenience of the location and the friendliness of the staff

Cons:

I did not enjoy the fact that I could not get the room. I requested on the 1st floor.\n That the elevator had difficulty in running. Someone had to run up-and-down to make sure that it,was working so I was able to get on it. I had a mobility issue which is why I wanted the 1st floor room. The fact that the hot water was not in service on the 1st day that of my stay.
