The most mid hotel EVER
Pros:

the internet was weak. And I thought the beds were ok. And not much choice in terms of breakfast. It was a great value because it was in the middle of rural Oklahoma. If you love roller coasters it is a great place to stay in between SF Over Texas and silver dollar city.

Dirty, Dingy, and Rundown
Pros:

The office staff is friendly and helpful. That is the only positive I can state. The rooms are dirty, dingy, and in bad repair. WiFi was so weak that we moved rooms to obtain a stronger signal. Do not stay here. In fact, do not stay in McAlester.

Pros:

The carpet was filthy with several stains in it. The room was old and hadn’t been posted in a long time. The motel/inn was probably built in the 50s or 60s. This is a motel not a hotel. The town is not easy to get around if you want food. Won’t be staying there again

I recently stayed at Best Western Inn, and I can’t say enough great things about the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive to every detail. The check-in process was smooth.

Overall, my stay at Best Western Inn exceeded expectations. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return!

If you're not a trucker, pick another hotel.
Pros:

We checked in...and then checked out fast. I suppose this was rated #2 in McAlester by truckers. So, if not a trucker, may want to keep scrolling for other options. We ended up moving to Comfort Inn which was so extremely nice - like a palace compared to this place. The 1st room would not open with key. Had to go to office and have her make new keys and come out to help. Still no door open. Then she had to go back and try to move us to another room. And it was like 90 degrees in there, hotter inside than outside in July, and the AC unit was not working. And there were two ash trays and you could smell the cigarette smoke from previous stays. Hadn't experienced anything like this since probably the early 80's. All of this after being on the road for 10-ish hours at midnight. It's also more like a Motel with the doors opening to the parking lot / road. With parking for big truckers rigs. So, may be ideal for truckers who like to smoke and keep an eye on their rigs in the parking lot. But, if not a trucker, go to the Comfort Inn.

One night
Pros:

The Suite room, was kinda scary corner...but big once you open the door.

If they can use another way to get inside, beside the corner, door..it would be great.

Memorial day weekend not to busy. Pool looked dirty, so didn't swim.

Pros:

I stayed at this Best Western last night, and I can honestly say it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The photos online are completely misleading and do not represent the actual condition of this place.

As soon as I arrived, I noticed what looked like dried blood stains running down the outside stairs leading to the upper rooms—absolutely disgusting and unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one rated 8.2 online. Inside, the place reeked of old mildew, It felt more like a rundown motel than anything remotely close to a “Best” Western.

This is not the kind of place you want to bring your family, or even crash for a night after a long trip.

Whoever is giving this place high ratings clearly hasn’t stayed there recently, or been to an actual nice best western,or the reviews are seriously manipulated.

Don’t skip over this one.
Pros:

Don’t skip this one because of the outside. It was clean, good smells, great breakfast. Could it use updates in the room? Maybe but it was fine. Great for the price!

Baseball Traveler
Pros:

In town for a baseball regional. Two ACs in a room is almost Nirvana for us baseball parents! We had the King suite. Bathroom was small but served its purpose. Room was roomy. Pack those charging blocks as it is a bit behind in technology. Only real complaint wad we had booked for 3 adults. A sofa bed was available for my son, but didn't have bedding in the room. Contacted the front desk and all bedding was checked out. Our team was staying here, so it probably was true. But in case, pack some extra blankets if you depending on the sofa bed. Definitely would stay again!
