We were locked out of our room most of the stay . Went through 4 sets of keys . Actually was late for an event we drive 600 miles for because we couldn't get back in our room . The ice machine leaked so there was always water on the floor .

Our stay here was fine. A place to rest our heads, but nothing more. Everything is falling apart or out of date (peeling wallpaper, dingy lighting, pool tiles falling off, dirty old pool towels….the list goes on. It is evident that this location takes zero pride in aesthetics. Some Best westerns are lovely, but this one was just dingy and run down. Definitely not “plus” or “grand”.

Sadly, this property has been allowed to deteriorate. The rooms and common areas are quite dated and in need of an upgrade. The area surrounding the hotel is poorly maintained. I would not feel safe in the rear parking area after dark.
Area behind the hotel: overgrown grass and bushes; abandoned grocery carts
Thought it was closed or abandoned when we arrived. Empty parking lot is not a good sign.
