The room had a humid smell when we walked in. Smelled old and rancid. The carpet was dirty, furniture was old and paint was chipped. The rooms could definitely use a face lift.

Spiders dang spiders!!!!!! I am terrified of spiders and had to call front desk about someone to remove them. I can’t use the shower now bc of that. Hopefully there won’t be anymore tonight. I don’t feel safe here. As soon as I got out of my car I was asked for money by some man on a bike. The room looks like it’s been through hell. Patches and peeling of the walls. The outlets on the lamps were removed or outdated. Floating headboards work better when they are centered over the bed, if you can call it a bed. It was falling apart. Drawers dont close all the way. The building itself is humid and had a musky smell. the elevator smelled like burned wires. I spent like $200 for a room for the night. Not worth it. Best western has forever lost my business. I have pictures for examples if needed.

It was fine. A very basic, bare bones hotel. Walls are paper thin- heard every word of the neighbors conversation. Elevator was stinky but the rest was fine.
