Bare floors and inadequate heat.
Really only 2 problems. 1.) they don’t have carpeting in their rooms. I HATE bare floors! 2.) The only heat/A/C they have is via a small In-Wall Unit, and it isn’t up to the job of heating the room. And no, they don’t give you enough blankets to make up for it.

I was happy that this Best Western delivered exactly what was expected - no surprises. The room, outside area and parking were as stated in the property listing. It was clean, the bed was very comfortable, everything worked perfectly (the mini-fridge, etc.). Not a lot more to say – my stay there was straightforward, the value for the money was good and I'd recommend this Best Western to anyone.

This was our second stay during the last few months. For this visit, the location was a lot more noisy. The room appeared to be a bit dated than before. Also, you need to invest in quieter cleaning carts. Your staff is way too loud during the early morning (...while cleaning the vacated rooms).
