Cons:

I ask for a room that didn't have any stairs to get to it. The 1st time we parked there was a full flight of stairs. As we are in our 70s and 80s stairs are not our friends. I did find a parking spot later that day that had no stairs. Other than that it was a nice stay

Pros:

Great location. We appreciate having a fridge and microwave in the room, and plenty of electronic outlets to charge our electronics.

Cons:

The shower-bathtub was clogged and not draining. The hair dryer was broken. Towels had stains. Bathroom had a bad smell. Bathroom walls and ceilings had signs that someone did a sloppy repair to patch up something.

Former Best Western fan will never book Best Western again
Pros:

The room we were assigned -236-- made me feel like I was in a prison cell. Lighting was awful, bedspread and furniture were absolutely depressing. I immediately asked for another room but was told none was available. I requested a refund, as this BW room was far worse than shown on their website, and was declined. I then booked a different hotel, and called BW to tell them I was not staying in the hotel. I did pay in advance for the room, but I told BW that I believe they misrepresented, on their website, the quality of the room. I pointed out that I have used Best Western many times over the years and this hotel does not meet their usual standards. Several phone calls later over two months, they still refused to refund me the cost I paid for two nights. They claimed they offered an upgrade and I declined it, which is absolutely a lie. Do not book this hotel, it is depressing and the management there is completely unresponsive to complaints.

Great location for a getaway
Pros:

We really enjoyed our day. The location was perfect. The weather was awesome. Also, the rooms were really in good shape. The Netflix and YouTube was add on. We really love watching them and enjoying the comfy bed. We love the free breakfast that was offered. The staff was really good. The service that is provided every day of housekeepers were awesome. We never had to ask for anything everything was provided on time.
