I went to breakfast when it was halfway over and the food n drink was almost gone except for bread for toast. The freshness of the milk n cereal was questionable. The room could have been cleaner. The location was good - easy on,/off to 85 and restaurants close by.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were fairly clean, or so we thought until we saw a cockroach climbing up the wall. There was a constant order of weed in the hallways and parking lot, with lots of people seeming to just hang around. It made me uncomfortable.

After traveling for a long day I was looking forward to a hot shower and going to bed. Only to find there was no hot water. The water was warm at best but not really even warm. The bed was comfortable however there was no comforter, it was more like a thick bedsheet. The morning breakfast was terrible… a waffle maker, some sausage patties and yogurt. Pretty much a dissatisfying place. On the positive the staff was nice, location convenient and that’s about it. Would not stay here again.

Dirty

Front desk clerk was very polite at check in. The room was not very clean. The floor looked like it had never met a mop. The bathtub was gross. We were too tired to do anything else so we sprayed the bed down with alcohol and didn’t use the covers.

Solid 2 out of 5.

The bed is great, but when it comes to cleaning not geat at all. The room was covered with dust and the tub was dirty. The staff was very rude! Extremely unprofessional, and very disrespectful to other guests as well. Only the front desk staff and managers were rude. Cleaning staff and cooks were very friendly. Would've given 3 stars if staff was nicer.

OK for 1 night.

Normally we like Best Western hotels but this was disappointing. The staff were very friendly no problems there. The hotel was very dark except in reception. There was only a blind at the window and no net curtain for privacy The hotel is very grey, which we know is fashionable at the moment but it needs some bright colour as well. Tap in bathroom was very temperamental sometimes giving hot water sometimes cold. There was no plug. for the sink.

Samantha

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was friendly enough. But this is a very poorly kept property. The room was rough. The flooring is buckled and flimsy. There was actually a whole in the floor in the first room we were given. The manager quickly changed us to another room. But the overall cleanliness is lacking. I would not recommend this hotel unless you really need to save a few dollars. The breakfast was very limited and not that great tasting either.

The price was right

The price was right. Plumbing was terrible. Tub knob didn't work right, most of the shower water went straight town into the drain that drained too slow and had standing water around my feet. Yuck. Bathroom sink drained even slower. Double yuck. Lots of less than friendly long-term housing. Breakfast was top notch. While the room wasn't in the best shape, it was clean and staff was friendly. Reason for choosing this hotel was that they are pet friendly.
