This was the worst hotel we’ve ever booked on Expedia. The reviews were not accurate by any means. The hotel smelled like pot throughout and the cleaning staff had sprayed massive amounts of air freshener to cover it up. There were roaches in the bathroom, and the AC sounded like a truck engine all night and left all our belongings wet. Additionally, the bathroom had mold and the bedding appeared yellow. We couldn’t leave faster. Will never stay at another Best Western and will reconsider booking through Expedia from now on.

Lackluster facilities

Location was convenient. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was fantastic! The negatives included finding a cockroach in the bathroom of the first room we were assigned to. There was a musty mildew smell that couldn’t be overlooked. The tub also needed to be repainted to remove brown spots. We asked to be moved to another room and were accommodated but there was still a mildew smell. No complimentary water in the room . Let’s try a little harder Best Western Premiere. I’ve lodged at your brand before and this one was a disappointment.

This property has lots of potential and the staff is what makes it decent. They’re very communicative and attentive. The first room we were in had a strong musty odor but because of timing for check in and soccer games I couldn’t do much about it the first day. Desk manager texted us and I let them know that I’d likely request a room change the following day and they were very accommodating. The room also had a pretty musty smell. It was very hot/humid in town while we were there so I’m sure that contributed but there has to be away to cut down on this. It was so bad the first night by morning I woke up with a pounding headache.
