There's Much Love At Best Western Plus!
Pros:

I truly enjoyed my stay at Best Western Plus motel. I was treated with so much kindness especially from Anahi ( front desk agent). She was phenomenal; professional & caring. After learning that I have cancer, she made me very happy. She prioritized by accommodations. She did that with others also!! Please give her whatever she deserves on her job to make her continue showing her natural ability to consider others.

Life saver
Pros:

We were visiting colleges / universities with our daughter and had a last minute change of schedule. Anahi at reception was understanding, professional, and very clever with helping us amend our travel plans. It was a huge relief to sort out the change given how many other things we had to navigate because a university offered our daughter an interview at the last minute.

The hotel has a lovely water location and water view. The rooms represented reasonable value for money. The staff, especially at breakfast, was very accommodating to our daughter's food allergies. My only gripe was that our conditioner and shower gel were completely empty. I only realised this after I finished shampooing my hair as the bottles are opaque!
