Never Again!

Check in is at 3pm. After a five hour drive, I arrived at 2pm. Lady wouldn’t let me check in early unless I paid a $25 early check in fee. Went to get coffee in the morning and upon my return at 10:10am, my room was occupied by the cleaning ladies. I didn’t checkout but they found it ok to check me out. Checkout is at 12pm. After waiting 20 minutes to get my room back, I was annoyed that I got a knock at my door at 12:02pm that checkout is at 12pm. I stay there 1-2 times a month l but will not be returning back.

Nice but needs work

Nice hotel but the refrigerator and coffee maker did not work. When I told the front desk, she said she would tell maintenance but she did not offer an apology. Poor service.

8/10 Very good

Great stay, but needs some work to make it better.

This was my first time staying at this location. The staff was professional, courteous, and friendly. We enjoyed our stay here and look forward to staying here again. However, what I would like to see taken care of is that all the air vents be cleaned, such as the bathroom vents and the air vents in the laundry rooms and hallways and roof/ceilings. Another thing is the sunrise grill, says they close at 9:30pm but when we went there to eat at 8:30pm we were told by which I believe to be the manager that they close at 9pm and could service, only drinks and appetizers but would have to hurry and be done by 9:00pm. The free nt desk and the paper left in our room for the time closing both said 9:30pm. So we had to leave the hotel and find a place to be able to sit down and eat. I hope these matters could and will be addressed before my next visit.

COFFEE!!

Check in was amazing. Your representative on the evening I checked in was helpful and cheerful. The room was fine. Clean and comfortable. The problem was in the morning. I did not care for the in room coffee. I went to the lobby and the pot was empty. Your representative said it could not be refilled until the kitchen was opened at 7 am. At 7:30 there was still no coffee.

The Best Western Dump

This place is an actual dump. They deposit old/broken furniture and hotel items in several patios and units on the first floor. I was in a room next to this dump and had the displeasure of the view and smell of the Best Western dump. Aside from the dump, the rooms and facilities are old, dingy and dirty. In no world is this a 4 star hotel, on its best day it might be a 2 star hotel. Do yourself a favor and do not stay there.
