We had only one issue during our stay…but was taken care of immediately after I called the front desk and then they called back to see if I had any other issues and if everything was okay now . Staff was very helpful needed extra towels, very quick to respond!! The only problem was which didn’t interfere with our stay and wasn’t really a problem but they had several people living there so it seemed but it didn’t affect us in any way . Just something we observed will be staying there again in the near future

You get what you pay for. Honestly, pay more!

It’s what you would expect for a cheap rate. One of the bottom Best westerns we have stayed in. Smelt like smoke everywhere and the cleaning staff were extremely loud in the mornings, yelling and listening to music up and down the hallways.

I was so disappointed. I had to sleep on top of towels and use a shirt as a blanket because there was hair on top of the sheets and the sheets were all stained. The shower was disgusting. Will never be back

Terrible

Check in took 40+ mins because they had trouble finding a “clean” open room, even though the hotel was not at capacity and we had already paid. Another guest was given a key to our room and tried to get in while we were sleeping. Fire alarm went off for 30 mins at 1am for no apparent reason. Our “non smoking” room had cigarette butts sitting next to the window, all the surfaces were dirty and sticky, and there were small curly hairs all over the bathroom and bathroom towels. Stains on the sheets, walls, curtains and floors. Baseboards were filthy and peeling away from the walls. Key card only worked at certain entrances. Garbage and terrible smells in all the stairwells. Only left 2 stars and not 1 because the woman checking us in was nice and apologetic about the lengthy check in time.

It would be easier to say what didn’t go wrong. As soon as we walked into the main lobby it smelled horrendously of cigarette smoke with nobody smoking nearby at the moment. There was also a styrofoam bowl of half eaten dry cereal on a lobby chair. The two FDA’s were decent but we initially had an issue with our room key not working, (our room was on the complete other side of the building) and they fixed that. We get into our room and it is a complete disaster. Both queen beds unmade, lights on, bathroom door is open, light and fan were on. Almost as if someone rolled out of bed and left. After a 3 hour drive down and being in the sun for 16 hours we did not feel like it was going to be a clean stay and opted to go home because it was such a terrible welcome. They offered to get us a new room but declined and drove the three hours back home and were not charged. Although polite, NO ONE was remorseful about this, not even the two FDA’s but more importantly the manager who i had to deal with the next morning to get the refund straightened out. He talked to me as if everything was our fault and it was a big inconvenience on his end, and did as little as possible with saying “yeah sorry about that” word for word on regards to the issue. So it seems that this has happened in the past, and will continue to happen. Never, have I dealt with such a poorly run hotel and miserable manager. We will never think of coming back. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere if you can.
