Nice hotel for the price. The walls are super thin! You could hear everything in the room next to us. Very loud late at night/early in the morning.

Only issue I had was the room was 54° when we checked in so that’s the comfort Score issue.
We would totally stay there again.

Good value. Room had a “new-sterile” feel to it, not very soothing. It was my second visit and I would go back again.

Excellent
We will never stay anywhere but a best western! When our air bnb we rented ended up being disgusting, we were able to book a full stay the day of at best western for a very reasonable price!! Everything in the hotel was very clean and well kept! The breakfast they had was also good. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel.

This area is under heavy construction at the moment so that made it a bit harder to access than it would have but the property was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was meh.

The hotel is newly renovated and is very clean. The outside view and around building is a mess right now due to renovations I believe. You can hear a lot in the room bc the walls seem thin and not insulated. But overall, nice Best Western.

It was much better than expected. Very pleasant, quiet stay, clean room. The deadbolt lock didn't work on the door but not a big deal.

Hotel appeared to be recently updated. Rooms did not have rugs (plus in my opinion) and bathroom was very clean and looked very nice. Shower pressure was very strong too, which was great. Staff were friendly and location was very convenient to 95. The hotel at the time was quiet and I had no issues with hallway noise.
At the time, there was construction on the road outside of the hotel. Not a big deal to me.
Really the only knock on the hotel was the breakfast which was included and adequate. But if I had to critique, the scrambled eggs were like marbles to a grain f sand and there was no coffee at the time I was down there.
But really a fantastic hotel for the money! I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
