We just needed a place to sleep that was close to the attractions we were visiting. This location was very convenient. This is an older building and, although our receptionist was delightful, the room assigned to us was not ready. We were moved to another room that smelled of smoke. It was ok but not an outstanding visit.

The staff couldn't have been nicer and our room was clean, but this is $100/night kind of property. It is the most basic of motels, with absolutely no frills. I'm OK with that, but the amount we paid to stay there was 2.5 times more what we should have paid for what we got. It is nothing the staff did wrong, but I feel that I was misled online as to what kind of property I was booking.

Mary's view

I am amazed that Best Western would put their brand on such a property as this. A new coat of paint on the outside does not trump ill-maintained rooms and ancient bedding. Two good things about this hotel were a very hot shower with strong spray and a cheery, helpful receptionist. However, one of the rooms assigned to our party had not even been made up that day, so had to be reassigned.

I liked that the staff REALLY tries to make this a great hotel. They are very professional and care.The room is clean. The beds are comfortable. There is a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Coffee maker in room. The fact is that the rugs are old and stinky, the bed linens are cheap and worn, and the room smells like pot. The pool is not heated.

Sad to say the room was filthy. Dropped a damp face cloth on the floor and picked it up to see mud. Travel paint crew staying there decided to have a rousing soccer game right outside my door. Breakfast milk was off.

Horrible. I reserved a non smoking room and when I got there they gave me a key for my room when I opened the door it stink like a hookah smoking lounge. When I went back to the main office they told me that they didn’t have any other room available. So I had to drive back home 3 hours. Never again
