This is a nice little hotel. I only had 1 minor issue and the owner contacted me immediately. He was very kind and resolved it. My room was clean, has a mini fridge and the area is quiet. I will definitely stay here again.

I thought the affiliation with Best Western would make this hotel okay. However arrived before 10 and there was no attendant. Luckily I managed the check in process only to be very disappointed with our room. I went to use the restroom and a pregnant type spider was in the toilet paper roll. Then I pulled back my bed covers to find a stain on the top sheet. The next three layers down to the mattress was a large stain as of no one changed the sheets. The mattress pad didn't protect the mattress either. I was told I'd get a refund. I do not see it on my account and it's been over a week.

This is a motel with very little service provided. It is not a hotel. When I arrive at 8pm, the “so called” “office” is locked. I was instructed to pick up the room key from a locker but it was the wrong key. I called the phone and get the key from another locker box. I got a handicap room although I booked a regular one. The show is a disaster! The towels

It is a pleasant room. I had to call the help number to ask where the ice was located. Its at the restaurant next door. From 1 AM until about 2:30, there were people moving what sounded like furniture outside the door and talking. That wasn't management's fault, just clueless people. Unfortunately, i didn't sleep and had to wake up at 4. I like the hotel, it's a little different though because you're pretty much on your own. That's the way they operate and I don't mind too much, unless I need something and they do answer the help line. If you're an independent person who doesn't want to be bothered, you'll be happy.

The day was fine. It is an unstaffed hotel. There were no people to interact with, but everything was fine. It was easy to get the key card for the room.

This was such an odd stay. There is no person at the office... just a locked door and a number to call to have them unlock a key box for you. Okay, no problem, but it is unsettling to not have someone onsite if problems arise. The hotel itself is called part of the Best Western "Signature Collection," presumably because they have done a lot of upgrades to the flooring, the walls, and the doors. It also had a heated toilet seat. Again, that would all be great but then, in contrast, we had only 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper left on the roll and no other rolls of toilet paper available. Fortunately, there was a box of Kleenex and we were only staying one night so we endured. Also, there were no wash cloths or handtowels... only bath towels and one of them was covered in stains (it clearly had been washed but was still dirty looking from all of the dark spots and rust-looking stains). There were stains on the bed linens as well (photo of my pillowcase is shown). So gross. Even if it has been washed, it needs to be thrown away if the stains don't come out in the wash. No clinet paying $200+ a night should see that when they lay down to sleep. And the pillows were cheap and super uncomfortable. The bed mattress was fine, though, no issues there, but the pillow quality was awful, the linens and towels had stains, the sink was clogged up and would make weird noises in the middle of the night like it was trying to unclog (like gurgling sounds). TV glitchy. We had to laugh or we'd cry.
