Questionable service

My stay was decent. On Monday Morning a gentlemen walked into my room without knocking or annuncing himself with a key. I was in the restroom getting dressed. This was extremely disturbing. The desk clerk was not very concerned when I addressed it. During check out I requested a receipt for my stay and the clerk told me that hotels.com would be emailing it to me and I have still not received a receipt. When I checked in the clerk told me that my tax exemption was on my account and that it would be reflected on my receipt when I checked out. Again my stay was decent but the customer service was poor.

Comforter was stained, towel in bathroom was dirty, shower didn’t drain properly so it filled up during shower, parts of room didn’t even look up to code (ie light switch cut thinner to fit in corner…weird). Pre-Paid for stay for two nights and checked out a day early. No refund

The staff was friendly ish but the room was just dirty. Sheets and rooms somehow smelled like cigarettes and it seemed as though the room had just not been cleaned. Too busy a trip to hassle with the management about it but someone should know

Upon arrival I was checked into the wrong room, then once I got into the right room that I paid for the towels had stains on them, there was food left in the fridge from someone that had previously stayed, the room smelled of mildew and urine, and the breakfast food was terrible. Definitely do not recommend here if you are a clean person.

It was fine. Nothing special. Pretty standard motel if you stay in the outside rooms. Pool doesn’t work/is closed. Weight room is messy and unkept. Breakfast was meh. At least could make a waffle. It’s not worth the price. Probably more like a $60-70 motel but certainly no major flaws or grossness or anything like that.

Bring disinfectant spray or wipes

At check in, no one was at desk. Had to wait under 5 minutes. No info given on breakfast or parking, although there is a laminated info sheet in the room. After 1st night of 2 night stay, key didn’t work. Had to waste 15 minutes walking to office and asking them to fix the keys. Window and shower curtains had oil or grease stains. Bed was comfy. Shower worked. Sink drain was clogged and would fill sink after one hand wash. See picture…Light switch works and gave us all a good laugh, but this is the quality workmanship you’ll find in this Best Western MOTEL.

There are two sections of this note, a 5-7 story tower and a two story motel like rooms separated from the tower, where you park in from them. Without prior info we were taken to the Motel section which had issues with heater, etc. Breakfast was lower grade place.
