Very nice for the price. The breakfast was simple, but perfect for us. A bagel with cream cheese, yogurt, fruit and coffee. The location was also nice and centralized for all of our outings. Our room was very comfortable.

Hotel was small but nice, and a good coffe shop across the street. It was clean, but I was disappointed that I found an apple core that had been left in the ice bucket. Service was friendly, will stay here again if we come back to the area.

The hotel staff was family run and were helpful and polite. They helped us patiently whenever we had questions and the room was cleaned daily. Overall, the helpful nature of the hotel staff made up for some other inconveniences. One thing that could be improved upon is that the trash pick-up can take place after 7 am instead of at 5am.

Initially arriving they write down your card information to paper, which is very concerning that it’s not being input to a SureStay system of record online. I have photos of the rooms lack of cleanliness to include a large amount of food splattered across the curtains and large liquid across the wall. Additionally the carpet was very stained and looked . The shower and bath was clean but the room was a 5/10. Paid way too much for the quality

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our first room had a refrigerator that had leaked onto the floor in front of it causing a large soft spot that had saturated the floor and smelled awful. When I went to explain to the owner it didn't seem that this was the first time he was told about it. We then were transferred to a room that had ran out of shampoo and soap in the shower containers. There were 2 towels and one wash cloth. Also, there was no toilet paper roller. It had an oder, not as bad as the first room but did not smell clean. On the outside it was kind of scary looking with multiple people walking around that clearly weren't there to stay. Worst Best Western we have ever stayed at.
