Mary's view

I am amazed that Best Western would put their brand on such a property as this. A new coat of paint on the outside does not trump ill-maintained rooms and ancient bedding. Two good things about this hotel were a very hot shower with strong spray and a cheery, helpful receptionist. However, one of the rooms assigned to our party had not even been made up that day, so had to be reassigned.
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that the staff REALLY tries to make this a great hotel. They are very professional and care.The room is clean. The beds are comfortable. There is a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Coffee maker in room. The fact is that the rugs are old and stinky, the bed linens are cheap and worn, and the room smells like pot. The pool is not heated.
Catherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was nice enough - clean, comfortable bed. It sits on a very busy street; however, I figured out how to manuever around. It's not fancy, but provided what I needed.
DANA M., 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for a short stay.

It was a great location for an interview I had. The bed was comfortable and the continental breakfast was a good morning start. I had an issue with smelling smoke from another room and I was in a non smoking room. Also, the shower was lukewarm and I couldn’t get hot water at all. The small fridge was a nice size and the tv had good channels. It was good for a 2 day stay.

Front desk needs to reduce pungent smell
Cynthia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible. I reserved a non smoking room and when I got there they gave me a key for my room when I opened the door it stink like a hookah smoking lounge. When I went back to the main office they told me that they didn’t have any other room available. So I had to drive back home 3 hours. Never again
Elliot, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Say there’s a vending machine but most the drinks are sold out and this was during our 3 day stay and they were always sold out of water. cockroaches, very loud noise from other departments
Albani, 2-night trip

Not what I expected Never AGAIN

I provided this rating as I was misguided by the reviews, this hotel in the outside appeared to be kept up and maintained which was totally not what was expected. I was there for business and as a last minute found this hotel as the only available in the area. At night I experienced baby roaches crawling on the wall and floor. The door frame also was damaged and this was concerning as the chain lock came off and I provided the frame and lock to the cleaning lady. I am sure this was there before and was just not addressed. The breakfast was nothing to brag about as I did not eat it. The rates were high considering this was Spring Break and not too many available rooms at short notice. This was a 1st and last at this location.
Patricia, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room.we stayed in, they were doing construction next door in another room and besides that the carpet was dirty. Seems like work was done in the room was never cleaned.
Bisram, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice budget hotel

Nice budget hotel. I’m a trucker who likes to get out of my truck one weekend a month and this was a great place with truck parking next store at the Good will. We were able to go to the beach near by and have fun shopping. The dining options were awesome too. They have a pool now which was a nice bonus that was unexpected because it says no pool online.

6/10 Good

Manager Patel was helpful but the first room I was given had a bed made with obviously dirty sheets that smelled like sour & sweat. The second room I was given I only killed one roach so I consider that a success.
