Comfortable stay
Evening front desk was very welcoming. It was a nice, warm basic king room with an outside entrance. Breakfast was sparse, but enough to get us on the road again.

I was pretty shocked this was a Best Western. I'm not a fan at staying at this type of hotel, or motel in this case. If I didn't see the sign say it was a Best Western I would have assumed it was a regular roadside mom and pop trucker stop hotel. The only redeeming thing was the room was pretty decent and it was clean. The bathroom was ridiculous as you nearly have to step into the shower to close the door to use the bathroom/ or take a shower. I should have looked the property over more when I was booking, so it was my bad for not noticing what I paid for. So this one is on me... But I've learned my lesson, Best Western will be the last choice for me in the future.

The only part that was disappointing was breakfast. The eggs looked like they had been flattened out n tasted nasty, no waffles, bagels or muffins.

We only used as a stop before returning home, but was a great hotel. Older style, but did the job well.

This is a dated property, but clean. As a matter of fact, when we arrived, they were cleaning the carpets. We stayed in a Pet room - no odours. Breakfast was standard fare. Close to a mall for food

The woman at the front desk was very nice. The room product is pretty nice. The mattress was awful. The room was fairly noisy. The free breakfast was about what you’d expect. It was fairly noisy with the rooms next-door. The location is quite convenient from the interstate.
