Decent for sure!
Listen, I only stay at places that feel safe and are clean. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. The place was clean, the people working there were great, the breakfast (only available on the weekends) was delish, the room had a fridge. It was all decent. So let’s talk about the safety…this place, it was safe, but doesn’t give you the appearance that it is so. It’s in a slightly strange part of town, it feels very open to anyone driving by, there’s two extra locks on the door, etc. But technically we were safe. Oh and the photos online make the place look fancier than it is. The photographer should get a raise. All in all I wouldn’t call this place a “BEST Western.” I’d call it a “PRETTY DECENT Western.” All of that to say— I’d stay here again if the price was right.

I would have given it five stars if the Hispanic made wasn't talking on her speaker phone in front of my room at 7:00 in the morning... Place seemed clean however look under the bed revealed a lot of dust and crumbs. Breakfast was excellent with lots of options not just your Danish OJ and coffee!!!

We never went as cancelled a week out and the person I spoke to gave me a hard time and told me they were going to charge me a $100 penalty. I was appalled. I will never do business with you again unless you take the full charge off my American Express and I have used you on Hawaiian trips years ago.
