While checking in, I had to wait between 5 and 10 minutes. There was no note or sign stating where the young lady was. Turns out she was in the rest room, that is fine but put a sign out! The room was supposed to be a smoke free room but we could smell smoke! I think this is the last time we choose a Best Western.

If you have a pet, they give you the pet rooms. They collect a pet deposit but it doesn't appear that they clean the pet rooms all that much. The room smelled like pee.

We arrived at 3:10 pm, check in after 3 . Room was not ready. We waited about 15 minutes and they gave us the keys to our room. It was not ready. The manager personally took us to another room which also wasn't ready. He then took us to another room which we stayed in. We got settled in the room about 4 pm. Staff was helpful and polite.

Road trip

Comfortable beds, friendly, helpful staff. Clean room and hallway. Quiet. The refrigerator did not work and the EV charger did not work. We did talk to front desk about EV charger, but they were unable to help at that time.

Stay anywhere but here!

Absolutely horrible! Was given a room that was not ready and was switched to room that looks like Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown stayed the weekend. The air conditioning has a distinct smell that is a cross between dirty feet and goat cheese. There was nothing “Best” about this Best Western… I should have just slept in my car in the parking lot!
