I had a wonderful stay at best western. From check-in to check-out, the staff were warm and professional, making me feel welcome throughout. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Housekeeping maintained it daily with care. I especially enjoyed the pool, which made the experience even better. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and overall service exceeded expectations. I highly recommend best western and would gladly return on my next visit.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Pros: Staff members were very nice. Pricing was good for the duration of my stay (6 nights). The pool was nice and the location was very convenient if you plan on going to the parks. I was unhappy with the premade food as my salad was bad and made me second guess buying anything else. Their food otherwise was good. Last thing that I was not satisfied with was the air quality in the rooms. The AC unit was very loud and for some reason everyone I went with were severely congested but only in the rooms (possibly filter needs changing).

This was my first time staying at a Best Western, and unfortunately the cons outweighed the pros, which is why I felt the need to write this review. Cons: * The Wi-Fi was out. * There was adult content on the TV when i turned it on. * Electrical outlets wouldn’t hold plugs properly. * The A/C unit was so loud and disruptive at night it was difficult to sleep. * Poor water pressure in shower and sink. * Paint looked rough in multiple areas, with a water stain on the ceiling and peeling paint in the bathtub. * The first floor had a strong smell similar to cat litter. * Overall, the hotel feels very outdated. * I was offered a different room, but it had the same problems and wasn’t any kind of upgrade. When I asked for a real upgrade to make up for the inconveniences, I was told no. * No security in the parking lot, which didn’t feel safe. Pros: * The price was good for the area. * Great location. * Big, clean pool with two large, clean hot tubs. * Convenient snack/drink shop and vending machines. * Free parking. * On-site restaurant and bar with good food options (though I didn’t try them). Overall, while there are some positives, the number of issues made this a disappointing first experience with Best Western and I will not come back.
