Nice stay

Over all it was a quiet, safe area which is most important in a big city! It had a hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, tater tots, and even green chile! Bed was comfortable, bathroom was small, and has a dinosaur theme. Pleasent stay, biggest gripe was the front desk guy was new and not trained so took forever for him to check me in.

Overall I would have to say that this Best Western was pretty good. The only issues that I had was the comfort of the bed. I could feel the springs in the mattress. The other issues was how loud the cleaning crew was in the morning. I could hear the staff talking loudly outside my door at 8am when I was still trying to sleep. Other than those two issues, my stay was good and I would stay there again in the future.

I don't understand how the rating is so high

The bed is too firm, breakfast is mediocre, the pool is green, and customer service is lacking. I asked for extra pillows and was told they have no extra pillows until housekeeping came the next morning. What hotel doesn't have the capability to give extra pillows or towels? I also tried to discuss a partial refund for a booking I have a week later and the woman at the front desk was not helpful. I prepaid when I booked and that exact same room is now $73 cheaper. I guess that just goes to show that you shouldn't stay at the same hotel within 10 days if you haven't stayed there before. The average reviews don't accurately reflect my opinion of this hotel.
