I expected better for what I paid.. you can hear everything and everyone in the halls. There was roaches! Outside is dirty.. found needles..I got the room with the big jet tub and when I turned it on it literally turned the water brown. $237 for one night and I was not happy. The breakfast bar was the only good thing about my stay. Was loaded with eggs, sausage, make your own waffles, potatoes, breads, coffees and juice.

Serious problem with the people that run this place. There was constant noise on the 3rd floor ( party noise, yelling and screaming) till about 2am where I was staying. I called the front desk 3 times. They said that they send someone to check it out. But it continued. Nothing was done. The 3rd time I called, I waited in the hallway for security. They never showed up.

For a room that is no pets, there sure were a lot of dogs barking on our floor. People were also inconsiderate late at night in the halls. While the room was nice, roaches appeared on the tv stand in the night. When we checked out, never asked how our stay was. Just if we wanted a receipt.

The BestWestern Plus was within a short driving distance to the downtown area and provides a free breakfast. The hotel was quiet , clean and the beds were very comfortable. There is also a great family restaurant nearby.

Somethings different ......🤔😔
This was a go to place for weekend getaways had the nicest reasonable jacuzzi rooms around but this time something has changed..The one thing was how terrible the room smelled the moment we opened the door(cant begin to explain the scent either). When taking a shower it would fill up with water because it was clogged, so I looked at the drain myself it was part of a wrapper from the saop they provide, why couldn't housekeeping take initiative and just deal with the issue. The room just seemed like someone just did a quick once over and as long as it looks good to the eye that was all that mattered..unfortunately thats when returning customers of Best Western Plus Shillington PA stop returning. One more thing CLEAN THE FILTERS IN THE WALL UNITS!!

We're sorry to hear that our housekeeping staff overlooked the wrapper that was stuck in the drain. We will bring this to their attention, as well as the PTAC filters (we do clean them frequently).. As for the odor in the room, if you booked a smoking jacuzzi room, that may explain some type of odor. Our non-smoking jacuzzi rooms smell fine. You can always let us know upon arrival if something is not right with the room, we can switch you to another. Please reach out to the hotel directly next time you think about booking and we'll make it up to you with a better rate for this unsatisfactory visit.

Reservations cannot be canceled!!!
The problem with my stay is I used hotels.com to book my room. Been driving for five days and desperately needed to pull over and find a room last night after driving through the mountains in the rain. I thought I might be able to find the best rate on Hotels.com so I pulled into the parking lot of a best Western plus in Redding California. Into the search function, I typed best western plus Redding ca. A room came up looked great I booked it. I walked into the hotel and was informed by the front desk clerk that the reservation I handed her was not for this location in California. It was actually for a location in Redding Pennsylvania! In my exhaustion, I must have missed that detail. No problem, I will just cancel my reservation. Not so fast! These reservations are non-refundable, and non-cancelable. Instead of relaxing and having dinner and a glass of wine and then spent the next 30 minutes trying to cancel my reservation, including calling the hotel directly. To which they informed me that they needed to hear it from Hotels.com/Expedia, and that they couldn’t just cancel it. Everyone gave me a hard time about canceling it that technically it was not cancelable. It was just an honest mistake? I don’t wanna pay for a hotel room and another state on the other side of the country. As of the writing of this review, I still have not received cancellation or a refund.

Adam, we hope that you'll retract your review, as your issue is with Hotels.com and not our hotel directly. We understand your frustration with the mistake booking. It actually happens several times a year (someone booking for Redding CA instead of Reading PA). We always approve the refund for a mistake like that, we can see you are from CA. The problem is, we are not the ones that charged you. It was hotels.com, and therefore you have to go through the correct process to receive that refund, which I believe you have. Once Hotels.com is contacted, they reach out to us to ask if a refund is ok, which we said yes. They will then initiate the refund, but this is not something that happens instantly. You'll probably see the money back in your account within a few days. Once you see that they refunded to you - I do hope you'll lift this poor review of our hotel. We were kind enough to approve the cancellation of this non-refundable reservation for you (if we were a greedy hotel, we could've kept it). I don't think we deserve to have our reputation damaged, when we were completely sympathetic and understanding to your situation. Thank you.

Thank you Mary, we appreciate you staying with us.. As for the hallways, they are actually rather new. Wallpaper was put up in 2023, new artwork in 2023, and carpet was done in 2020. So we are surprised to hear that it seemed dated to you. Nonetheless, we will take note.
