I booked the Best Western PLUS because I had been to one in Ok. which had a Fabulous breakfast! Very limited and the pancakes were on a paper plate under a heat lamp.
Disappointed they didn't have a hot tub.

Very clean, well kept facility, and rooms. Parking lot completely surrounded in lights. No dark spots that I could see. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was wonderful and free! Loved the King bed room! Very comfy, 2 places to sit other than the bed. Very clean room and bathroom. I would definitely stay there again and I highly recommend.

This was a great hotel. It was very quiet...they stress that, but being next to an amusement park, I'm sure there are a lot of families, etc. The room was great; clean and the heater/ac worked well.
