Housekeeping issues
Reception desk was very helpful. I arrived early and they got me into a room, which was great. I had the choucebof 2 beds. On one, the bottom sheet next to the pillow by the bedstand had a weird tuft of fuzzy fabric about 3" sticking up. The other bed had a dead ant attached to fibers on the bedspread. I removed the ant and chose that bed. There was no soap by the sink, so I had to walk into the shower to use body soap to wash my hands. I asked housekeeping for a bar of soap but they said I'd have to go to front desk. Since I am handucapped, that meant I would have to get in car and drive around to front entrance, so I didn't. Refrigerator was clean and I aporeciated the freezer for my cold packs. But to the left of refrigerator inside its cabinet was filthy, with dust and dried remnentsof old food. Breakfast was nice and the temperature of the room was just right. Reception got me a room close to parking and with handicap shower, which I appreciated. All staff were pleasant and courteous. I took photos but cant add them.

I'll stick to Hilton's brand and will not be visiting a Best Western again. Drain flies in the bathroom, popcorn ceiling peeling/hanging about to fall on us, dirty, old and dingy conditions, no vent in the bathroom, filthy ceiling fan, shower curtain too narrow - didn't reach both walls, terribly uncomfortable beds with no cushioning so you feel every spring, don't have fitted sheets for the pull out sofa, all hotel doors to the outside were left unlocked. Staff was friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good.
