The breakfast was not completely self serve. The eggs, sausage, ham, waffles, milk and other items were served behind a counter. Biscuit was hard and dried out. If i was serving myself, would have chosen another, but was awkward. Did not feel free to ask for seconds which are available at mist hotels. Pais total of $167 after tax tor single room. Will not use best western again.

Bed and pillows were comfortable. Room was clean. Breakfast left much to be desired. Most of the items were not put out. A woman would dish out for you from the prep area. There were several kinds of cereal available but no milk to go with.

A Last Minute Booking.

Very nice hotel. Elevator issue had us walking up the stairs to the third floor. A little exercise for us. One trip up and one trip down. Glad we did not have a second trip than it would of been a workout. The best part was the ice machines working well for a cold beverage. This is not a negative but a minor operational issue. We enjoyed our stay and will come back.

Do NOT stay here

We got here and checked in and at check in we were told the elevator wasnt working and the only room was on the 3rd floor, no discounts, no refunds. So we had to trudge our luggage up three flights of stairs. The room was almost 200 per night. I was furious. The room was clean, at least, we missed breakfast, the clerk was friendly enough.

Quiet, Clean and Safe.

The location was right off the highway but it didn't look like I had to worry about my car in the parking lot or my personal safety. As a woman traveling solo those are things to think about. Also, even though there were many cars in the parking lot the hotel was very quiet. No slamming doors or people being loud. A very nice place to get some sleep after a long day of driving.
