I was impressed all around. The place was super clean and the pool area was well kept and clean. The front desk folks were super fun and we actually had a few laughs! I stayed with my Grandsons and I felt very safe. The breaky waz delish! A nice spread with sausage eggs and potatoes. I HIGHLY recommend.

The hotel is beautiful, you feel like home. The room and bathroom were both clean and nothing was broken. The bed and pillows were very soft, prefer more of a firm bed/pillow but nothing wrong with them. The pool and hot tub were relaxing and weren't overpowering of Chlorine. Bonus. The biggest issue we had was the breakfast. The biscuits for the biscuits and gravy were rocks, at first we thought them to be decorations. But no, they were just hard. The ham, we assumed it was ham, was burnt. The potatoes were supposed to be fried but were more of a mush. There was cream cheese but no bagels. No sugar free options for jelly or syrup. The apples were mostly bruised. We love staying at Best Westerns but this breakfast was truly a dud.

The sink was plugged. And the water won't go down. I reported it as soon as we enter the room. I asked for a $ 20.00 refund. Also Hotel.com charged me more than if the hotel would have.

I stayed one night and my room was ok for that. It was clean, but could really use a deep cleaning. The bed was comfortable, but not very soft. The staff was very friendly. For the price, it was worth the stay.
