Best Western B. R. Guest

the group had a great time. the hotel was very good about all the bikes (approx. 85ish) and letting us "hang out" in the parking lot during the evening. the staff was very friendly. the pool was very refreshing although it needed to be a little "spruced" up. less

We stopped after a long day and found a very friendly and helpful staff person to check us in. Our room was small but clean with good AC. The bed was a bit soft but the room was quiet. The shower was good except there was no bath mat which made showering a bit iffy. Breakfast choices were varied enough to appeal to many people. I do not hesitate to recommend this hotel. less

Outside of traveling to Las Vegas you really don’t expect to find properties that still allow smoking in the rooms but this one does. If you are a smoker this is perfect for you! If you are bothered by the smell of cigarette smoke , suffer from allergies or have asthma this is not the place for you. They only have s handful of smoking rooms but just like it’s impossible to have a smoking section in a restaurant the smell permeates this entire hotel. The pet rooms are on the same floor as the smoking rooms and I was choking from smoke in the hallways. Our room wreaked of stale cigarette smoke, wet dog and bad carpet cleaning. You can tell this is a smoking hotel when you walk in the lobby! Other than that there are a lot of big rigs in the lot not an issue except Parking can be hard to find. You can walk to Denny’s, Wendy’s or subway and gas is nearby. The rooms were the smallest of all of the 6 best westerns we stayed at this trip and the most expensive. The HVAC was extremely loud and you could not keep the room temps even either too hot or too cold. There is a fridge and a microwave which is nice. Tv is fine. The wi Fi is useless at least on the 3rd floor we got one bar and could not connect to anything. You have to ring a bell at the front desk for service. The breakfast by far was the worst out of all the locations as well. The food was all cold and stale . The lady working through breakfast room was very friendly though. For people with pets this was the only BW where animals can go under beds which is a bad thing for pets. We had to spend half the morning down on our hands and knees trying to get our cats out from under the beds down on our hands and knees on the nasty carpet. I would not stay here again primarily because of the smoking. I think if I were a smoker I would be happy to find this hotel as it’s a rarity. Otherwise no. less

Truck parking, smoking rooms. Front desk woman was very kind & friendly. Our room was extremely clean & quiet. Our room faced the front parking lot & we never heard a sound. The hot breakfast offers fried eggs, sausage, bagels, Danish..and then the cold selections were endless. Reasonably priced & a nice clean place to stay. less

Poor lodging? How can I count the ways? When I saw the groovy rating of "9+" on Priceline I thought, "How could I go wrong?" Well, this lodging begins the poor corridor of Ohio, and ratings are relative, here. We have stayed at some nice Best Westerns; this is not one of them. OK, you know those $28 Indian motels with the dirty yellow walls, badly spackled? Yeah, this is THAT motel. Begin: 1) The phone did not work, but inspection revealed no cord to outlet ... a good reason. 2) The tile floors are greasy. I know this as my cane tips could not grip the tile. 3) Bed sheets do not fit the bed, and threaten to pop off. Only a couple of inches of fitted sheet fit over the corner. 4) Pool has overwhelming smell of chlorine, which filters into the lobby, through the closed doors of the pool area. 5) Small pillows filled with foam chunks. Very uncomfortable. 6) No desk pad, pen. No real half and half for coffee. 7) "Business center" is an alcove with one computer and one old printer. 8) Poor breakfast 9) Only one bar of soap in bathroom. The vanity is not large enough to accommodate two shaving kits. 10) The a/c has some odd Glade-type air freshener odor coming out of it. This is a working-man type of lodging, in a blue collar area. Zanesville, like so many others, are former factory towns fallen on hard times ... for the past several decades. This motel reflects the poverty. The front desk help is also doing the laundry. How can anything be good? This is not a $99 room, as listed. There are no luxuries here. less
