Upon arrival the young man who checked us in was excellent (Matthew maybe was his name?). He called after we got in to be sure all was good. After we got somewhat settled & utilized the small refrig, I noticed it wasn’t cooling correctly. I called & he said someone would come & look at it. An Indian man came, was very rude; said had too much food in it & left! This is the first problem. Then, under tornado warnings, sirens going off & pouring rain, thunder/lightening, several people came in & asked for a room for the night & this same man told them “power is out so can’t check u in so u can’t get a room & leave if u want” and spoken in a very nasty, demeaning way to these people!! Really….in the middle of Sirens & pouring rain, thunder & lightening and he treats potential customers this way?? We invited one group to come to our room & wait. Others sat in breakfast area & waited. This owner/manager, was extremely rude to stranded travelers showing no Compassion!! It certainly does not speak well of Best Western hotels!! I have NEVER seen this uncaring attitude in any hotel/motel and will NEVER visit this hotel Again & be sure to steer others away from there!! Best Western is much better than how this man treated his consumers!!!

Van Buren Stop

Don't really like hotel rooms with outside entrances and no elevator due to our age and mobility issues but clerk (Matthew) as able to get us into a 1st floor handicapped room. Also - once we got settled into the room, Matthew called to make sure everything was ok. That was a first fpr me! Extremely thoughtful The only real issue I had with the room was the poor lighting and extremely small bathroom counter space. Breakfast was ok but coffee was really bad (watered down). Other than that, was fine for a one night stay.

Didn't Stay

I was unable to make my trip due to car issues. The Hotel management was reluctant to cancel my stay which leaves me to believe they have no compassion and are only interested in profits. I did try to cancel two weeks in advance. I would not recommend this place.
