This was your typical middle class hotel. Rooms are clean, Staff was pleasant breakfast was adequate. Its got an excellent location to the downtown area everything is within easy walking distance. The property is older and it has all of the limitations of an older structure compared to newer construction. would stay there again.

Loved the best western close to the things we needed to be by. The pool is indoors in the lobby so it can echo and be a little loud when you’re in your room but overall great stay. Staff was lovely.

Staff was friendly checking in. Weren’t able to use the pool due to arriving late and just staying one night passing through. Curtains in room were largely torn and dirty. Liked the four pillows on each bed. Beds were comfy. Room was large. Breakfast was ok. Not too many options. Hotel could use a little more updating. Probably one of the nicer hotels in the area.
