Cheap e invasivo
Cons:

Orribile che impongano una cauzione di 100 dollari! all'arrivo sulla carta Visa bloccandoli per 3 giorni. Negli ultimi 12 mesi sono stato cliente Best Western almeno 5 volte.
E trovo cheap e offensivo questo obbligo

Save your money, stay somewhere else.
Pros:

Only positive was the location. Easy to access.

Cons:

When we arrived they informed us the elevator was broken. Our rooms were on the 4th floor. Rooms were dirty, furniture was dirty. Looked like vomit in the stairwell. Breakfast was not good at all. We understand that it’s not gonna be a top notch breakfast, but it was just not good at all. We really do not recommend this hotel.

The location, the size of the room, the laundry room and the pool!
