The room was nice, clean, and comfy. The wifi was solid. The "continental breakfast" was standard. The price was the lowest I found in town! The attached bar and restaurant are convenient and very popular! Unfortunately, the popularity of the bar was not a positive for me, as there were a lot of revelers coming and going late into the night. This might not have been as much of an issue if I hadn't been at the end of the hall by the exit. The door slammed every time anyone went through it, which was particularly frequent on Friday and Saturday until sometime after midnight. There's also a golf course that shares the lot (another draw, if you're into it), and it was PACKED on Friday night, which I'm sure contributed to the heavy traffic flow. The stairwell was adjacent to my room and I could hear everyone thudding up and down the stairs, as well. The walls of the place must be pretty thin. One night/morning someone had a dog in their room that barked for what seemed like hours. I got a text asking about my experience after the first night, to which I described the issues and requested a different room, but never got a reply. I guess it was automated with no one on the other side? I wouldn't stay here again, but you might like it if you're there to party.

Property was nice and clean. Only problem we had was our room was upstairs above or to the left of the bar. The music and karaoke was way to loud they dont even turn it down a little like after 10 pm so people can sleep pretty ridiculous.

We were very disappointed in the continental breakfast. There was no danishes no bread no bagels nothing to make toast two kinds of cereal. The only thing you could get were pop tarts and waffles. Little disappointed, most continental breakfast have at least biscuits and gravy some kind of bread for toast And more than two choices for a dry cereal.

This was a very disappointing experience. Our room was not very clean, dead bugs on windowsill, gross. Breakfast was a huge disappointment: only sweet stuff, no eggs, no sausage, no fresh fruit, no oatmeal, no tea or decaf coffee, no water pitcher or water bottles, coffee was not even in the breakfast area. No elevator in building. No fitness center. No canopy or overhang area where we could unload our car, we got soaking wet from the rain while lugging in all our luggage and supplies. No luggage carrier on wheels. This motel or hotel was very dated, with little or no normal amenities and conveniences. To make matters worse, the toilet in our hotel room became completely clogged/plugged and unuseable, just from normal usage, and the employees didn't seem to bat an eye or offer any assistance. One said she might be able to get us a plunger but never did. Because of the time change (daylight savings time) we kept getting locked out of our room. We would like to speak to someone about this and get some sort of partial refund or credit. We've stayed in many places over the years and have never had such an all-around bad experience.

Fraud Risk - Do Not Stay Here

Stolen money from my card. My bank was charged extra money for no reason, I ended up getting a check from Best Western corporate because the owner refused to refund me, even when he was told by Best Western that his actions were illegal. I don't know how they're still in business

The bathroom vanity was small. You could hardly put make up or your toothbrush supplies on there… Had to set stuff on the back of the toilet if you wanted more space…The shower creaked like there was nothing below the tub shell. My tile was cracked like they had to dig under it. Outdated inside rooms. Get what you pay for. Said they had a continental breakfast… I'm not sure that I having a waffle maker constitutes as a continental breakfast. Disappointing .
