Beyond the normal BW experience.
Pros:

Best BW we've ever stayed at! Clean, great bed. Doggy room had bowls and a doggy bed. Art on the walls was beautiful. Breakfast was made to order restaurant menu at no charge. This place belongs in another category for Best Western.

Very pleasant place to stay
Pros:

Location. Restaurant is excellent.

Cons:

The parking lot was small. I had called to inquire because we were traveling with large moving vehicles. They said it was large enough but it really wasn’t. The parking lot is adequate for people traveling in normal vehicles.

Clean and Quiet.
Pros:

Clean and quiet. They have a on site restaurant. It’s right off the interstate but seemed to be a rough part of the city. There were fences around alot of the properties so stay alert if outside. We walked across the street and didn’t have any issues.
