The pool was closed the whole time, my remote was broken, the AC didn’t work, the toilet consistently was running, the vending machine didn’t work, and when I checked in the woman at the front was talking crap to guests about her coworker. Unprofessional and nothing worked.

The cost of the room for the weekend was reasonable. The hotel is a bit dated, but it was clean for the most part. Pool was lime green and could not be used.

The check-in experience was terrible. Had to wait over 30 minutes to check in. Lady behind counter giving gentleman in front of me incorrect information. Lady was working by herself and had to call someone because she didn’t know what to do. When it was our turn over 30 minutes later,, We had to ask for a rollaway because it was advertised and we requested it so I wanted to be sure it was in the room and she told us we did not because they did not have them. I told her when I booked the room. I had it in the notes. She said she didn’t know what I was talking about. It was obvious she was new and should not have been left alone there and was not properly trained. Luckily they owned the hotel next-door that did have them and she sent someone next-door to borrow one. It just wasn’t a good situation because they were still two people behind me waiting to check in for what we got this hotel should be about 75 or $80 a night

A little dirty, the last person's soap was still in the shower. The TV didn't work when we got there. After some fiddling around with it, they guy brought in another TV that did work. The last day it didn't work again. Breakfast was good, but not enough tables to eat at

We have stayed with Best Western more than 50 times and never had any issues or complaints amazing experience, until this week rooms were outdated, no towels or room service ( for cleaning and restocking ) then to make things worse the pool was only open 2 days out of seven and the vending machines didn’t work.

Property is old. Has a musky smell in the room. Very small tv. Furniture fixtures in the room shows bad wear and tear. Main thing is that I went to the office to ask for more towels and wash clothes the second night around 8:45 pm and was told that THERE WAS NONE AVAILABLE!! The hotel was not full either night. How do you not any towels or wash clothes available? Guess that is why house keepers did not come in the room during the day.
