The hotel had some points in its favor, including a nice pool and friendly staff, which made our stay fairly comfortable. However, there were several cleanliness issues in our rooms that really put a damper on the experience, particularly with mold in the bathrooms and unkempt floors. While the breakfast was decent, the overall maintenance left much to be desired, making it hard for us to consider returning.

The hotel was a bit of a letdown for us. We encountered a strong odor in our room, and the overall cleanliness was questionable. While the staff was friendly and helpful, the noise from the ongoing renovations made it hard to relax. On the positive side, the location was decent for nearby dining options and events. The pet-friendly policy is a bonus, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a very specific need for such accommodations.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While I appreciated the affordable price and the friendly desk staff, I was unfortunately met with a number of issues during my visit. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, and the construction noises were disruptive. In addition, cleanliness was a major concern for me, particularly in the bathroom, which had a strong mildew odor and some mold in the corners. The location is decent, with access to a restaurant nearby, but the overall vibe left much to be desired.

The hotel is situated conveniently near the highway and a restaurant, which was a plus during our stay, but it does sit behind a gas station which isn't ideal.

I found the hotel to be a reasonable option for a quick overnight stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, though there were some parts that could use improvement. The proximity to a great restaurant nearby was a plus, but the overall experience felt average for a Best Western. It’s a decent place if you just need a place to rest your head for the night while keeping your budget in check.

My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant and exceeded my expectations considering its roadside location. The rooms were modern and well-kept, which added to my overall comfort. The breakfast buffet was notably impressive with a variety of hot and cold options. However, finding the entrance was a bit tricky, and the dining options nearby could be better, especially during busy times.
