Staff were amazing but this property is so worn down, outdated and dirty. It is “Lipstick on a Pig”!!! If the Best Western Corporate Office cared about there properties they wouldn’t allow this property to carry it’s banner!! Pubic hair throughout the bathroom. Dirty throughout the property.

The hotel could definitely use a reset — all areas were a bit tired looking, and the breakfast was definitely substandard, other than the coffee options which were excellent.

This place needs some love. Awful mattress, appalling breakfast (but lovely lady working there). Lots of hot water and pressure good. Cheap by market price but only worth half what I paid for it. There is a great diner for beakfast across the parking lot, so that was good.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The toilets didn't flush, even after having to plung the toilet ourelves. The cleaners didn't clean the bathroom sink, towls had hair in them. The shower curtian was dirty from previous stay, so they obviously didnt wash them in between clients. Towels didn't match, tv's were so old they were fuzzy and unclear so watching a movie in the room was impossoble, the remotes barely changed the channels. Spider nests in the ceilings and cobwebs. For what we paid for the stay, it should have been way better.
