Disliked: Room comfort

Uncomfortable beds and ridiculously overpriced

This is a pretty standard Best Western. It's fine if it's all you can get. It beats sleeping in your car, but not by a lot. The thing about Best Western, Motel 6, Red Roof Inn, etc is that they are cheap. Well, this was two hundred dollars for one night. All so I could wake up with a sore neck and back because the bed is one of the worst I've ever experienced.
