Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel room bathroom very clean. Extremely dirty, smelly carpet in room. Dogs allowed in rooms and obviously peed on carpet. Room was extremely damp. This was room 312. Pool water like hot tub water, very uncomfortable. Other Best westerns we stayed at during the trip had cool refreshing pools and really clean, fresh rooms.

The first room I was given ... the key didn't work. After lugging around my "stuff" up and down the elevator twice. I was assigned another room. upon opening the door the smell of urine and mildew was overwhelming! Next room was the same pungent odor! A manager was called and I was given a third room. Better, but not great.

Been on a baseball trip with my national team. Came to town a few days early to let the team relax Instead came to a horrible hotel. Booked 2 rooms 1st room sheets and comforter were thrown every way with trash all over the place. Smelt like weed and pee. 2nd room someone just took a shower and threw towel on ground and everything else. Went to front desk and they didn’t care, manager didn’t care what so ever either. They shrugged it off and said my bad Horrible place
