We stayed at this hotel for one night. The reception desk personnel was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and somewhat updated, my husband said it looked like it was well maintained despite being an older property. Lately I have been comparing Best Western properties to some of the other chains and I seem to get a better price deal with BW. Although this hotel was adjacent to the highway, our room was surprisingly quiet. This hotel has a different configuration than most hotels as there are 3 buildings. We were in building C and the breakfast area is in that building. Building A also looks like it would be a quieter building, building B was the closest to the highway. One of the things that stood out about this hotel was the very nice fitness room. There was filtered water and the hotel’s information book invited guests to “fill their water bottles” with the filtered water, which I appreciated. Another big plus was the fact that they had real dishes and silverware in the breakfast room. It always seems like such a waste to have all paper products at the chain hotels, 3 cheers to this property for offering this alternative. The staff at the breakfast room was also welcoming and friendly, kept everything well stocked. Although most of the chains are about the same, this BW stood out for it’s price, fitness room, friendly staff, and attention to the environment with it’s dishware. One more nice touch: because guests are outside to go between the buildings, there are umbrellas outside each building to use if it’s raining! We will stay here again if we are in the area. less
