They have pet friendly rooms.
Their pet fee is $40/stay, which for a two day stay became $20/d. If it was $40 per day that would be unreasonable.
One morning I saw another couple in the hall with their shih tsu. I'd never heard the other dog at all. I opened the door so our shih tsu could meet him. I suspect the rooms are well insulated so any dog barks don't bother anyone.

Beds are clean and hotel is generally okay. But walls are stained in the room and the hotel in general seems to lack care and attention to details. Staff was kind.

Staff were amazing but this property is so worn down, outdated and dirty. It is “Lipstick on a Pig”!!!
If the Best Western Corporate Office cared about there properties they wouldn’t allow this property to carry it’s banner!!
Pubic hair throughout the bathroom. Dirty throughout the property.
