The elevator closed on my hand, nearly crushing it. They made no attempt to make me feel better about it. The room had terrible windows. The stairwell we were forced to use after the elevator was deemed out of service stunk of urine. There is no pool even though it is advertised as such on Expedia. All round 2nd worse hotel experience I’ve ever had. Location is great and their room waste program was good even though it took up 4 square feet of an already small room.
We thought for that rate for one night stay, the parking and breakfast as all my other stay with Western, were included, but I had to pay $20 for parking and No breakfast.
