Overall great place to stay. It was comfortable, clean, and affordable for our family of 5.
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff. We loved the pool and jacuzzi. Our room was nice and big. It was perfect for our family.

Cons:

I was disappointed the coffee machine downstairs was broken. It was also unfortunate that 2 of the 3 dryers in the laundry room were not blowing hot air and couldn't dry my clothes. However, the front desk refunded my money.

Pros:

This Best Western Plus was in a great location. It was near other restaurants and stores, gas stations that was convenient. The interior decor of the hotel was elegant and beautiful, including my room. The landscaping on the outside was gorgeous and relaxing. I really enjoyed and was satisfied with my three day stay at this hotel. It was truly wonderful!

Cons:

No complaints with my stay.
