Overnight stay
I thought the hotel was slightly overpriced for a Best Western. Hotels.com showed an $85 price but i was charged $98. Otherwise, the hotel was good for a quick overnight stay. It was clean enough. We had plenty of hot water and a decent shower. Breakfast was average hotel fare. Parking was tight.

I had a comfortable and convenient stay, although the pillows could have been more comfortable. All the staff were very helpful. I only had a little attitude incident with the staff who came at 11:06 to ask me when I was checking out, even though I was already packed and brushing my teeth.

The hotel is in disrepair. General cleanliness like clean windows and doors is poor. The property out side is unkept. Many non residents hanging around parking lot.
That said, the staff was friendly and attentive. They have an older unmaintained property to deal with.
