For a Best Western I thought it was rather disappointing. Room service came in one of 3 days and tossed towels on my un-made bed. I ran out of bathroom tissues on the final day. It seemed liked I was at an Econolodge.

This property had think blankets. The mattress was cheap and you felt the springs in tour back causing my wife severe back pain. Found two roaches in the fridge and a bog cockroach on the floor. The room smelled like mildew and when we needed wash clothes and towels we had to wait overnight in order to get them. The staff was very friendly and tried their best. The breakfast was pretty good but they mainly had pork meat which we couldn’t partake in. I will not return to the particular Best Western knowing what I know now. Hopefully another Best Western will be better!!
