Overnight Stay

I enjoyed my 1 night stay at Best Western. The room was exceptionally clean. It was warm outside but the air conditioner kept the room cool, although the A/C was a bit noisy, i got used to it after awhile. The motel is located by the freeway and i never heard cars drive by, even when the A/C shut off. The bed was nice and luxurious. Maybe too soft for me personally.

Disliked: Amenities
You get what you pay for, its just like any other travel motel and nothing more than sleep over type. Water pressure in the shower was very bad, but they had hot water. Room was clean where we see it, if you just look around the corners you will boat load of dust. Breakfast is very basic. we stopped over for the night with two small kids and we knew it was just a sleep over type. Surrounding areas to the property is deserted and dark.
