"We have stayed here several times so I know what I'm talking about. The rooms have been remodeled recently and they are very nice. The rest of the motel is currently being remodeled. Our bed was very comfortable and the room was clean."

"The stay at this Best Western hotel was a wonderful experience! Starting with the booking to check in The room was excellent! The location was great! Checking out was the best as well! The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the breakfast. The breakfast was a bit less than I expected Don’t you if it was because it was on a Monday morning or if this is what they offer for breakfast everyday. Sorry I have no..."

"Stayed on business and would say the pros outweigh the cons for this location. I was overwhelmed by how kind the staff seemed any time I had a need. There was a very ample breakfast that was offered in the morning for guest. The room was comfortable but did have a light smell when I first walked in. I would stay here again if in the area."

"Had zero issues with my room! Was worried about reviews with all hotels in the area. Safe to say this one was more we thought. We had newly remodeled rooms on the 3rd floor and was well worth the money. If you’re scared just ask to have rooms on the 3rd floor or ones that have been remodeled."

"Showed up late (after 10pm) from a long day of traveling with no reservation. Desk manager was friendly, rate was nearly half of the Hampton Inn down the street and the room was clean and comfortable. Hotel is currently being renovated so there's some construction related mess in the hallways, but that's to be expected. My only real complaint about the room is that the water pressure for the shower is a bit lacking."
