Just a night stay

The Mirror had filled off the wall so I just leaned it against the wall. The tub didn’t drain very well. Seems for the money spent that it would have been a bit better

The room was excellent. The only negative was the Continental breakfast. We went down at 8:30 and there was no coffee left and scarcely anything else to eat. I really wasn't expecting to be competing for what was left to eat with the hotel cleaning staff. The yogurt however was surprisingly delicious.

El hotel esta bastante limpio en las areas comunes. Por ejemplo los pasillos y la cafeteria. La habitacion muy limpia, un poco reducido el espacio y lo mejor es que no hay alfombra en la habitacion. El desayuno caliente que incluye huevo revuelto, cafe, yogurth y fruta es un buen complemento para iniciar el dia

I booked the Best Western PLUS because I had been to one in Ok. which had a Fabulous breakfast! Very limited and the pancakes were on a paper plate under a heat lamp. Disappointed they didn't have a hot tub.
