Room was okay and the staff were friendly enough. However, I would have expected something a bit nicer for the price. This is in the middle of nowhere for travellers… I chose it because I was exhausted from driving all day.

We had a nice stay here. The location is remote so there are no shops or dining nearby to speak of but that's just the area. It's about 10 miles frim Starke where there are a few restaurants and stores. It's also located next to a travel plaza with gas, a Dunkin and some other fast food options so the basics were covered. We only encountered two employees- check in and breakfast- and both were lovely. Definitely recommend to anyone who has reason to be in the neighborhood.

I was unable to stay at this Best Western on October 29,2025 even though I had booked the room ahead of time because they were experiencing computer issues that day and unable to honor reservations or walk in's. I felt bad for the young lady at the desk having to turn people away. She was apologetic and pleasant but the situation was out of her control.
