We only stopped her as it was horrible weather and we needed to get off the roads, it was not a good hotel. It literally smelled like sewage. The rooms for one night were tolerable and the breakfast was included, which was nice, but this would not be one I would recommend or go back to.

Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was fully stocked with a nice variety. I enjoyed the coffee machine and cream offered. Although there were some issues with my card at check in, the front desk attendant was very kind and offered complimentary water bottles for the delay. I am unsure if the issue was with my virtual card declining the security deposit or if it was an Expedia/Best Western issue with check in. It has occurred with two different Best Western locations. It has never been a huge issue. Just a couple more minutes waiting at check in. I have no complaints. I would definitely stay again and recommend.
