Awful. I had to pay $20 more for the second bed in the room for my teenage daughter. I could have used expedite for that ratter and had the hotel I wanted. Awful hotel stay and I use you often. Not happy.

Old and very run down. We have stayed at Best Western in past, but nothing like this. We only stayed 30 min and then left to go home. Not worth a full sleepless night, would rather drive 3 hours back home.

It was ok. Would like to stay closer to where shops and stuff was. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were small but clean, did not have a bath tub, only a shower.
