This property should be ashamed to be called a best western. Which use to be a reputable name. This hotel is far beyond the need of a renovation.

Staff is AMAZING. Front desk helped me with several personal issues, printing needs, directions, local info, advice on how to save money and make better booking options for next time. And there will be a next time. Clean! Cleaning staff was very good. High level of attention. Crumpled up receipts that I had dropped under the desked were picked up. They clean everything! Breakfast was an average hotel type breakfast and it is a very busy room, but they keep up. Great food & bev maintenance. Good value place to stay.

This place has a very good balance of price with quality. Its not extravagant but good to stay. If you just want a place to relax and get rest for the next day. Then this is your place. If you are looking for someplace to spend evenings do some work. Then its debatable, but still good enough. One problem was the pillows. They only have one size pillows which was not very helpful for my wife.

The hotel should clean up the front of its property along 8 St. SW, which currently looks derelict or closed. The back entrance and parking area look much better. If I drove by the front of the hotel when deciding on staying at the hotel, I would have found another hotel. The stairways also need work and look unfinished. The service staff were excellent and let us into our room at noon (check on time 4pm). The breakfast could be improved, with real fruit. Breakfast service staff were also very good. The room itself was clean and a nice size, with big windows and a decent view. Cleaning staff for the room were also good.

Very comfortable bed, clean quarters. The hotel itself is in a run-down area of downtown, though a wonderful cafe is across the street. The decor is a little worn and dingy, though I appreciated the paintings. Very helpful staff. It would have been good to have some access to food in the hotel besides breakfast.

Hotel was very good for our purposes, however I found the bed way too hard. The desk staff really cared and tried to fix it but I ended up sleeping on the couch which was softer. Breakfast was ok but the breakfast room was a mess when we went in. I’d try a different hotel next time in honesty.
