The only thing I did not care for which is out of the hotels control is that our downstairs neighbor was smoking outside their room. Otherwise the rest of the stay was great.

Second time we have stayed at this facility. It has always been clean. There are minor maintenance items in the rooms that could use some work, but perfect for a stop on a long drive.

Had to wait for front desk person to check in- was 25 minutes when I actually checked my watch- by then I had been waiting and even tried walking in and out. got in the room, unpacked and settled and air conditioning not working. Miserable night sleep trying to ventilate with bathroom fan. Front desk was less than helpful- if I had to go through the effort to get dressed and repack- I would have just left. I was exhausted and already irritated check in took so long.

There was a glitch in my reservation (not caused by Best Western), but Karen at the desk did everything possible to make us welcome and resolve the issue. It's always great to see what a competent person can do to resolve a computer glitch.

Definitely stay here!
Got there late at night after spontaneously booking it 20 minutes prior, and the owner/worker/whoever was finishing setting up our room, met us outside, offered to help us set up the pull out couch and get us more blankets and stuff. He was SO nice. Our room was awesome because it had 3 beds and pull-out (not all do there) and it was CHEAP. Super clean. I wished we could have stayed longer to appreciate it!
