This is a great place to stay if you have a loved one at cottage Hospital. I was able to walk from the hotel to the hospital within minutes. I could also walk to the Live Oak Café to have dinner. I never had to pay for parking because I never had to move my car. The bed was very comfortable and the staff was courteous.

Looks recently renovated. Very clean and modern looking. Rooms serviced daily without having to request, which seems to be rare these days. Quiet. Ample free parking. Nice lobby area. Only downside was the internet which kept dropping me.

Absolutely terrible experience. A man looked through my bathroom window while I was inside undress, and when I reported it, the staff showed no urgency or concern for my safety. I was the one who had ask to be moved, and instead of making it right, they downgraded my room to an old and hot room. The next day the GM later offered some compensation, but the real issue was never about money it was about safety. I couldn’t sleep the first night, I felt unsafe the entire stay, and the night staff were rude and dismissive. For the amount I paid, this was unacceptable. I will never stay at a Best Western Plus again.
