A Good Rest!

Great little stop for a business night. Pretty good shopping (for a guy) here. Harbor Freight, O'Reilly's, awesome Asian buffet (all you eat crab legs Sunday nite), Wal-mart, Menards within walking distance. Good breakfast places nearby, definitely recommend as hotel is blah! You won't starve but you won't be pleased.

Very clean. Cleanest hotel bathroom I’ve seen. We didn’t get much sleep due to people running up and down the hallway and doors closing loudly as staff arrived in the morning. Voices in the hall so loud it seemed like they were in the room with us. It was upsetting as we traveled specially to get more sleep for my daughter before an all day sporting event.

The bathroom smelled like urine so I mopped the floor myself. The Microwave hummed without it being used. I fixed it by just simply unplugging it. It is challenging to find. The staff was nice and checkin was a breeze.

The only, and I mean absolute only aspect of my stay that wasn't perfect is the fact that the suite was not comparable in size to my default experience of "suite" from other hotels in this price range. The suite photo online was nowhere to be found at this location. Online, it was L shaped where the office section of the room was private from the beds. The suite we were in was no bigger than a regular room in my opinion and I have stayed in many hotels across the entire US. Everything else was perfect.

Location is convenient, Bellas Italian restaurant was great again with a view. Room was clean. Drapes allowed much light in at night as they did not shut properly - creative use of a paperclip solved this for second night. Toilet tank to bowl valve leaked slowly so tank would need to fill every few minutes. New tile entryway should soon look very good. Pool closed.

We stayed at the Best Western for one night. Check in was easy and our room was very clean. The air conditioner sounded like a creepy squeaky door each time it turned off (roughly every 30 minutes) which was scary when we were sleeping. Check-out, however, was frustrating. Due to new policies in place at this specific Best Western, they preauthorized the first (only) night and then proceeded to charge us for the night. On our online banking, we could see two charges for the full amount pending. When we questioned the staff at the desk as to why it appeared that we were being charged twice for a one-night stay, she (a manager) got very defensive and upset. I stopped her twice during her rant to explain that we weren't mad at her...we just wanted to understand what was happening. Her bedside manner (ie - social skills) was lacking and she wasn't able to 'read the room.' Other guests were staring at us as they walked by as if we were the ones causing a scene. My husband and exchanged several looks, unsure of how to respond to her behavior. I completely understand that she may have been having a bad day, however, we did absolutely nothing to trigger the reaction we received. We ended up leaving without a resolution and were made to feel as though we were a burden for asking clarifying questions. Now, we are left with nearly $500 worth of charges that we have to figure out with our bank.
