Went for a weekend getaway. The pool and waterslide were perfect. My kids had a blast. Very modern facility and the restaurant (Shelly's) was decent as well. I would definitely go back.

Wonderful staff especially Shane at the pool!! Shane is hospitality at its finest! Thank you for your positive energy you made our vacation all that much better! The kids really loved the pool and water slide as did the adults! Seriously the slide was one of the best we’ve ever been on and we have been to a few different water parks. Definitely great for an indoor water slide at a hotel! The room was great as well especially with the atrium view balcony! We will definitely be coming back. Do not understand any negative reviews because there is nothing to be said negatively about this hotel!

We drove three hours to stay at this hotel for one night with our kids on March break for a fun, affordable mini-getaway. We arrived excited at check in time of 4 pm, and the duty manager was rude and unwelcoming. The restaurant food and staff were wonderful. Milkshakes are recommended and we got the all you can fish and chips, which was awesome. Our room was clean, beds were comfortable, however the carpet was pretty gross so slippers or flip flops would be recommended. Unfortunately, someone vomited in the pool around 8 pm, and the pool was closed. A couple other major annoyances were that an alarm went off inside our room at 6 am and again at 630 am and woke the kids up, and then the garbage truck emptied the dumpster directly outside our room at 7 am (Saturday morning). Front desk staff not pleasant at check out. Likely won’t be back.

Hi Donna,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.I would like to begin by apologizing for your encounter with one of our Duty Managers upon check in and for your encounters with the Front Desk staff upon check out from the hotel. This is not the experience we want for any of our guests and I apologize. I was however pleased you enjoyed your experience in Shelly’s Tap & Grill here on the property and we couldn’t agree with you more that the recommendations from your server were great choices. We are happy it was enjoyed.We are also pleased you found the beds to be comfortable and room clean, but apologize you did not feel the floors were clean. My apologies as well the alarm clock went off in your room a couple times and understand this would be disappointing. Staff should be checking these when rooms are cleaned between our guests. I will be sure to share your review with our Executive Housekeeper so she is aware and can look into this. Thank you for letting us know.Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review. We value your feedback as this helps us to learn and improve going forward.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again when in the area next!Sincerely,Guest Relations

I was very disappointed about the facilities and that we chose to pay for a room overlooking the pool. Our room overlooked a slide that was not running. Apparently the water slide only runs Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We specifically chose this location as a celebration for my 21 year old son and myself to use the water slide, hot tub and swim. When we arrived we learned That not only was the slide not functioning, but neither was the hot tub. A room overlooking a non functioning slide was a let down. The hotels nonchalant approach and shifting the blame to us using Expedia was off putting. The tv in the room was not functioning well, a long delay when trying to change channels. Lastly, we are used to having the option to having a coffee fresh with cream in the lobby not being available was another let down. This felt out of alignment with the Best Western way. The price did not equate to the experience is my take away.

Hi Jenna,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.While we are happy you chose this property to stay at while in London, we apologize we did not meet your expectations.When reserving, our guests can either choose an atrium view room or non atrium view room. Reserving an atrium view room simply means you are facing the indoor atrium area. With all the features the atrium holds, there is not a way to guarantee our guests a view of the pool so we do not offer rooms with this description. My apologies for any confusion caused.My apologies as well you were not aware in advance of arrival our waterslide hours differ from the pool hours. This information is available to our guests on the hotel's website and as well available when speaking to Reservation Agents direct at the property. Staff are available 24/7 to assist our guest's with any questions they may have. There was an issue with the hot tub causing it to be closed. What we thought would be a quick fix ended up being quite a large one requiring the tub to be closed for repairs. Staff worked hard and as fast as they could to cause as little disruption as possible but there were a few days it was not operating and I apologize you were not able to access it.I do hope this past stay does not prevent you from staying with us again in the future. It truly is a great property in London and we hope you will give us another chance to show you this.Thank you again for taking the time to complete a review. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon!Sincerely,Guest Relations
