Thank you for staying at Best Western Desert Inn. I apologize for all of the issues you experienced. I will look into the smell in the room and the stain on the floor and make sure my head of housekeeping has shampood this room recently and if not move it to the top of the list. As with all area hotels we do have a lot of construction companies that stay and out parking is first come basis. I apologize if we were in the middle of restocking a food items when you visited the breakfast room. Again, I sincerely apologize for the issues and would hope to be given another chance in the future if returning to our area.
