Comfortable pillow top beds in a safe and secure area. Furniture in good condition. Quiet area with restaurant next door, and many other dining options up the street. We liked it enough we stayed for 3 days. Heated outdoor pool and hot tub open until 10pm in a nice courtyard, 24 hour free coffee and espresso in lobby. All front desk staff was extremely hospitable. Free parking. Rooms are nice and spacious and walls are thock, youcant hear anyone around you. Screened Windows open for ventilation if you want. Pillows are a little weird.

Staff was great but they didn’t allow me to use my wife’s already existing best western account for the stay. They opened a whole new one for me. Also every room I walked by while house keeping was stripping the beds they always left the yellow blanket on every bed as if they were reusing them without washing them(cannot confirm this). Some of the pillows I had on my bed didn’t smell clean or like bleach/detergent. 2 of them actually smelt like sweat. They definitely do not move the furniture to clean near or under them as there was hair, crumbs, and trash under the couch’s. Overall experience was great and food in parking lot was amazing.

The property was clean and was in good condition. I didn’t like that I had to call to request a hair dryer, but they brought me a brand new one within minutes. I also didn’t like or understand why the bathroom vanity was SO tall. I had to get on my tip toes to get face over the sink. Alfredo checked us in, and he was just wonderful!
