The room was clean but it was extremely hard to get the door locked!! When using the shower, I was ankle deep in water. Not the best place but not the absolute worst either. Area was ok. It was a decent spot to sleep for the night

This hotel is the middle-price in the area. It served its purpose as a place to stop for the night for a reasonable price. It's a motel, so it was nice to pull up to the door and unload a couple bags for the night. I was most impressed that the room was quiet--especially as close to the interstate--compared to newer hotels where you hear all the hallway noises. Would definitely stay again.

We were traveling to Florida and found Best Western as an option to stay. We were booking two rooms for an overnight stop after a long 13 hour day. Booking was easy, front desk staff was friendly, helpful and process of check in was quick. Room accommodations were nice, clean, quiet and next door to Applebees’s. Cost was more affordable then area hotels. We enjoyed the breakfast and the women working in the AM was super nice and accommodating for our group of 5. We will definitely be back!
