Clean room, hard bed, wired smell, terrible food

Check in was ok. Went to our room, It was very clean, I checked it well but it had an odd smell we could not get rid of. Beds were very firm, too firm. Breakfast was the worst hotel buffet breakfast I’ve ever had. I don’t expect much from hotel breakfast but this wasn’t even edible. The area is not conducive to a crowd. The food is in a small room that doesn’t fit many. It’s backed up and impossible to move around in with other people. The selection was very limited and what they did have, like the eggs, were truly terrible. Our stay was ok but we didn’t sleep great and had to go out for breakfast daily.

Morale throughout staff was impressive. Management was impressive: we had a problem and they addressed the situation, corrected the problem. The entire operation is very clean and well-maintained. The luggage rolling carts are very helpful and they have enough! The elevator is great and it plays the opening 2 notes of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

I only got a room here to have somewhere cold to sleep at night local to my family beach house that my dog was welcome. I also planned to sleep the last day prior to driving 6-8 hours home. The one thing that was an issue was the AC. It seemed to rarely kick on and kept kicking the heat on without me even touching the thermostat. So that was frustrating, up and down all night trying to mess with the AC. I was moved rooms for my last not even full day there and the AC was still a hassle. I didn’t get but an hour of sleep before driving home. The room I was moved to the AC made a loud double clicking noise both in the front room and bedroom everytime it kicked on. It woke me up right as I fell asleep which was beyond frustrating when I just needed to sleep that day for a few hours. I gave up after one hour of sleep before leaving and regretted even moving rooms for a few hours. Otherwise, it was very clean and newly renovated. Definitely the nicest most updated best western I have stayed at but the AC situation made it more frustrating than comfortable. If you enjoy a cold environment to sleep then you will be disappointed- 68 degrees is basically what it allowed from what I was told. I couldn’t sleep with the loud thermostat noise at all for the time I needed to sleep the most, before driving.

This hotel was clean and updated. It was also very convenient. What could make it better would be free water in the room. For the price, I should not have had to pay $3.00 for a bottle of Poland Spring.
