Super, super experience
The staff was outstanding. The breakfast bar (with made to order omelets) was perfection. Only tiny complaint that the pillows were very firm, which I found a little hard to sleep with. One of the best hotels I have stayed at and I travel quite a bit.

10/10 Great Hotel Great Value Great Breakfast
Friendly staff, comfortable bed, quiet and clean room, complete exercise room, and a great breakfast featuring an omelet station. I could not ask for more and will make it a point to visit whenever driving through. Special kudos to Tina who made some of the best omelets that my wife and I have ever had

Surprisingly nice for a Best Western. I'm a bit of a " hotel snob", but this was a nice property. The staff was friendly, our room was clean, and the attatched bar/restaurant was nice. My only suggestion would be they invest in some new towels, ours were thin and dingy looking; and replace the rusting refrigerator ( it's an optics thing). But, overall, it was a clean, comfortable property.

Room was not cleaned on our first day though I asked numerous times and was promised it would get done. Room was very old needs an update. Not worth the money I paid. But I have to admit the breakfast was good and the staff was friendly and nice, but failed because of the room not being cleaned

I booked this hotel specifically for the pool and hottub. Was told pool is unheated and hottub broken- but if you come back at the end of the month it should be fixed. Just wrong because that is what I paid for. In the morning elevator was broken so everyone shleped stuff down 3 stories. Just bad
