Would not recommend.

The hotel is VERY dated and in need of updating. Dirty carpets, broken screens, overall very scary. Located just off the highway and not close to any restaurants.

The mattress was horrible! Neither of us slept. The hotel had no extra pillows and the ones on the bed were very small squares and just not at all supportive! Bathroom is very old and the tub had rust on it! Not at all satisfied with this particular Best Western in Midland MI. We frequently use other best western properties so I’m really surprised this one has their name.

Nice quiet and clean room. The common areas were a bit dirty and the breakfast was disappointing. The kiddie pool, arcade, and sauna were not open unfortunately.

Parking area looked deserted, I thought they were closed. Check-in was ok, but when I came back with a problem (poor ac ) the night manager was rather hostile. The rooms looked very nice with the brick walls, but like the hallways , there seemed to be an odor of stale cigarette smoke. Perhaps, the odor was absobed by the bricks over time.

The pictures make this hotel look pretty good! Don't be fooled. My husband and I stayed recently and agreed if the management were different this place could be great. The staff seemed annoyed we were there. There was a food wrapper on the floor in our room. The tub wouldn't drain properly, and the carpet felt moist. The breakfast was limited because of low staff due to COVID, which is understandable. However, we felt like we were on a scavenger hunt to find everything. There was no rhyme or reason as to where food was placed and it was hard to find anything. We were so happy when we left that we didn't have to go back. Spend the extra money and stay closer to downtown Midland!

We checked into our hotel Best Western Valley Plaza Inn, on 6/24 without knowing the hotel did NOT have hot water. We called the front desk the next morning and they said, “they didn’t know when it would be fixed”. We were supposed to stay there again on 6/28 but, I asked, if they had hot water and 25 minutes later the General Manager comes out and say, “No it is not fixed yet”. So, we did not stay that night.

This location has gone to the potty. I’ve traveled here for 26 years and this is the worst. The bathroom was dirty. No staff for breakfast. Pool was closed even after I contacted and it was confirmed open prior to booking. Bathroom full of bugs. We were told that there was nothing that could be done. No management to handle issues.
