Our stay here was fine after check-in. The hotel was nice and no problems for what we needed; breakfast was also nice and the staff there was friendly. My only issue was that the individual that handled checkout treated me very rudely. I waited in the lobby for ten minutes with nobody at the desk. I finally started calling around and looking to see if someone was near. When he finally came he did not rush or apologize, but told me shortly to just wait as he filled up his coffee cup in the lobby added creamer and took his time to stir. After that he went and got some water all the while still leaving me awkwardly at the counter waiting. When he finally came he was short and rude as if I had inconvenienced him. This was the only problem, but very rude service when we were tired from our trip nonetheless.

Arrived at 2pm which room not yet ready, return at 3:15pm still not ready. Finally checked it at 3:30pm and the room carpet is some what lifted up uneven and sticky and wet. The shower tub water won’t go down, and at 4:30pm some lady used the key card and opened my door, was shocked they actually had someone else came in same room… then call front desk, they apologized but then they deactivated both of my keys without telling me. Had to go back down and re-program my key cards. There are so kind of stains on curtain, also all over the carpet. Never will stay at BW again.

The food was hot and there were different options each morning along with the normal staples. Staff was constantly cleaning the hotel, pool area , emptying trash cans and keeping everything well stocked . Location was quiet ! Room was company spacious!!

We were in the area to visit family and we chose this hotel because it had bigger rooms. It was a bonus that we had a room off the patio area so we could sit outside to wait for others, read the news or enjoy a coffee. Was also happy there were water and coffe/tea station in the lobby so you could fill up before heading out.
