Best Western Torchlite

For a small town was a nice motel. I was not pleased with the Smokey lobby, but the room was fine. It was near the interstate so heard the traffic which I was not used to. They had a small lobby which included the breakfast. It looked like they had a pretty good variety. They gave us a small fruit basket for staying there. less

Very clean hotel with an extremely friendly staff. There was a nice care basket presented to me when I checked in full of fruit and water and pastries. The windows in my room opened for fresh air, and there was a fridge, a hair dryer, a microwave, flat screen TV, a big bathroom, and a down comforter on the bed. Good selection of food available in the lobby. They have a few smoking rooms available, and though my room was a smoking room, it was clean and had no odor. less

Needed a place to hole up during a snowstorm and needed pet friendly room. Glad we checked with The Torchlite. This is a very clean place, it has a 60's feel with pride of ownership showing. We were given a very nice welcome basket with snacks and drinks for not only us, but Dixie the dog as well. If we would have forgotten the dog food, no problem, there was enough for dinner and breakfast. I rate this as a top quality pet friendly motel for this reason and for the exterior door access to the rooms for easy exit to ample walking area. The Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant is just a stone's throw away from the rooms. less

Upon arrival was given a fantastic gift basket that is usually reserved for the frequent stayers at other hotel chains. All the staff was very friendly, helpful and quick to answer questions about the area. While I was there we had below zero temperatures and the maintenance man was continuously shoveling and plowing to assure easy access to vehicles, parking lanes cleared, etc. Breakfast wasn't anything spectacular or different than any other place except the friendliness of the staff, and continuously assuring that the food never ran out was great. Only draw back I can say about this place is that it is base board heat, so you have one section of the room that is very warm while other parts are colder. Only negative thing I can really say about this was that the night stand had previous occupant's wadded up trash from the muffin and mint in the drawer. I didn't bother to remove it, so if you check in how about YOU check to see if it is still there? I was on the bottom floor. A plus is this motel allows smokers in certain rooms. I am a smoker, so that was important to me, but if you are not one ask that you are located away from the smoking rooms if it bothers you. Stayed 10 days. It is kid friendly. I know because during my last weekend there the town was hosting some sort of high school or jr high school tournament and the place was over run with kids. Not a problem if you like kids...I dont though. It is pet friendly, and they have two stray cats that like to come visit outside, and have a true resident poodle dog that comes in every morning with the general manager Suzanne. It is a well behaved pooch that quickly says hello to those willing to say hello back, then off to the office with the manager. less

Wow, I was so impressed by our welcome. We got these wonderful welcome baskets with water, fresh fruit, granola bars, crackers, mints and a muffin. If we needed anything we just needed to ask. In the room there were plenty of amenities for the bathroom in a cute towel basket. There are Keurig coffee machines (and I had over 8 pods to use with them), a fried and a microwave. The room was warm (great in the winter) and quiet (off the highway). It is a motel (two stories, no elevator) and I got a 1st floor room. Breakfast is included. One thing they need to improve is to make sure the desk chairs work - raising up and now slanting forward. It was hard to work at the desk. less
