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 wnjoyed our stay here. It was only one night on a weekday. The staff was very nice, polite and informative. The parking lot was a little small but it wasn't overcrowded either. There were restaurants on either side and a short walk down the road. I honestly did not pay attention to the available shopping. We did not use the pool but it looked clean and maintained. Our room was clean and neat. Even though we were right off the interstate, it was pretty quiet. No complaints. I would stay here again if i were in the area.

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!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the room smelled like cigarettes and the bed creaked every time I moved. The breakfast selection was very limited and the cereal was stale.
