The bed was comfortable. The hot breakfast was great, including a coffee machine offering many options like hot chocolate, lates ect. I was able to park right in front of my door. The one dislike was the air freshner was very strong.

The staff is outstanding. They have a great, free breakfast that includes fresh scrambled eggs, sausage links, biscuits, gravy, waffles, milk, water, apple and orange juice, pastries
What delightful stay! The room was comfortable and clean; the staff was personable, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly; and the history was an added bonus.

We paid for a king bed. The bed did not seem to be a king (queen).
The checking in process took a bit of time, but the lady was new so it was understanding. The room we stayed in was alright, but the floor to the bathroom looks like it needs remodeled and the phone doesn't work with incoming calls. Was worth the $40 that we paid for with our One Key Card rewards.

The room was clean, the beds were not super comfortable and the tv didn't work. We got in late so we just used the secure Wi-Fi ( which worked great). Fun history with the Elvis stuff! Great breakfast!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The actual property itself was not bad. It was in decent shape and the bathrooms were very nice. The breakfast buffet was actually really good.they I had a very good selection.It was the fact that my card had to be cancelled due to fraudulent charges after I was checked in..
The room was really cute. It was clean the bathrooms adorable. The only thing I will say is their key card readers are not the best the rooms. And the curtains had mildew.
Front desk would not provide me a receipt for my stay nor add the stay to my Best Western Rewards account stating that every Best Western is individual owned and operated and they didn’t do those things.
This Only Has an outside Hot tub. They do have hot tub in the rooms with an up grade. The tubs are really deep and Hold water. I am realizing that using a 3rd party is not the best way to book a room. There are always Problems..
