There were no black out curtains or blinds. There was a very thin blind that let the bright lights from outside shine in and brightened up the room all night and let in the morning light. Pubic hair in bathtub.

Overall my stay was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable, room clean and big enough for my needs. However, the bathroom was very small. Door barely closed since it was so tight and it didn’t shut completely. Breakfast was good and had plenty of items to choose from.

Cancelled hotel, was told would get a refund and never received. I had booked another Best Western in same town already. If I wasn’t getting a refund I would have just stayed and sucked it up despite the quality.

Unfortunately the room wasn’t very clean. There was stains on the comforter and the floor didn’t looked washed. There was holes in the ceiling and tape hanging off the wall. On a positive note, staff was friendly and breakfast was great!

We were given a room on the first floor, when we entered the room there was a sour smell and the smoke detector was chirping non stop. The bathroom had ants all over it. We informed the front desk of the problem with the smoke detector and the ants and they gave us another room that was slightly better, not as many ants no chirping.

Lousy night
This place had good reviews but my experience was awful. Let me preface my review by saying we travel - a lot. I don’t expect perfection however, When I arrived (in February 30 degree temps) the heat was completely off in my room and it was freezing! The heater was definitely old. It took until the wee hours before it warmed up my room. And the fan on it was so loud I could hardly sleep. The bathroom linens were dingy. The “accessible “ shower was positioned so far over that you were practically in the corner to get under the water. The plug on the hairdryer fell apart then I unplugged it. Then the fire alarm went off at 6:20 am. When I asked the clerk upon checkout what happened, she said “yeah”. The only good thing I can say is that the bed was comfortable. I was very disappointed.

Response from Kareem on 6 Feb 2024
Hi Michelle, I am so sorry you had a bad experience during your stay with us. Although each day we are improving, some days set us back. Unfortunately we had a situation where an individual intentionally pulled the fire alarm and we had to get police and firefighters involved. As for heater complication, I will take this up with our management team to possibly preheat rooms automatically instead of per request as the current policy states. We will be sure to address these issues and innovate. Thank you for letting us know what we can do to improve. Hope you come by for a future stay!

Very disappointing. Upon arriving into the lobby your are stuck with a strong smell of an air freshener covering up a smell of something. Should of stopped there but proceeded to room that was absolutely filthy. Friends we traveled with room smelt of mold. Toilet was actually sideways. Our room there was no hot water or water pressure. Cob webs and bugs. Water stains on the ceiling, mold in shower a long with hair. Never again.

The room we stayed in was handicap excusable on the third floor with signs posted by the elevator “In case of fire use the stairs” how can a person in a wheelchair use stairs? The sink was located behind the door with the doorstop in the middle of the floor where you had to watch and not step on it. The water pressure was the worst at one point in the middle of taking a shower it slowed to a drip. The temperature was not consistent leaving us to take cold showers. I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

Check in had its issues but once that was addressed it was smooth sailing until my husband went to take a bath last night. Very little water pressure at 10:30pm equals very little water to bathe and soak in. Other than those two issues, nice stay.
