Book elsewhere

The beds were clean and somewhat comfortable but the bathroom was filthy. The floor had visible dirt on it and there was already something in the trash can when I first went into the room. The floor looks like it hasn’t been swept or mopped in days. The refrigerator and microwave are from the late 70’s maybe early 80’s and with the increase in prices for these rooms everything should be a bit more updated.

The owners were very nice to us after our original reservation somewhere else was cancelled when we were about 20 miles from them,they supposedly were double booked. We went through Expedia and we will never do that again, we would call best western directly and not mess with Expedia.

Great Hotel; Sensitive Smoke Alarms

The hotel was very nice overall. The rooms, televisions, furniture, etc.. were updated and clean. My only complaint is the smoke detectors were easily set off from the shower steam. The fire alarms went off three times during my visit (with hotel staff having to come into my room two of those times) in the middle of me showering. It was very inconvenient that the detectors were so sensitive. I also wish there were more options for the continental breakfast. The days that I went, it was the same: sausage, eggs, and biscuits (as the hot options) along with your typical options such as yogurt, cereal, waffles, fruit, etc... It was a great hotel. I would stay again but they have to get those smoke detectors fixed. The staff was also friendly and flexible in making accommodations for the room.
