The website claimed shuttle service. The night clerk said there was no one to drive. The day clerk claimed there needed to be 24 hours notice that a shuttle was requested. A shuttle was the main reason I booked that motel. Huge disappointment.

They promised airport shuttle, but none existed. They promised free parking, but that was not honored. Nice place, great restaurant, but dishonest marketing.

Not a very up to date property, not sure how it gets 8 in reviews, the rooms are old looking with a kind of shag carpet, and beds and pillows not so great, the “fitness area” is incredibly sub par and more like a closet with old home gym equipment, staff is indifferent and not very accommodating. Would not stay again as there are better options around the same price.

We booked 2 nights through expedia. My daughter got severely sick. She threw up all night. We were planned to be there for 2 nights for a volleyball tournament. We checked out at 1040am and i tried to refund the 2nd night because she was so sick. They said it was up to expedia. Expedia tried to get us our refund and best western said no even with the extreme unfortunate circumstances. A refund or credit would have been deeply appreciated in this situation.

Convenient to the fairgrounds but this is nothing more than a clean place to sleep. Breakfast was cold every morning, with very limited options. The bathroom door in our room made the most horrendous squealing noise. Keycard kept failing and having to be reset. Convenient but not overly comfortable.

The hotel was spotless, including the dining area, which provided a generous free breakfast. One of the clerks, Moshulu, was especially helpful in overcoming the problems of a broken computer printer in the business center. The only other issue was the failure of your organization, and not the hotel, to notify the organization that sponsored my trip that their credit card was “declined.” I had to substitute mine, which apparently also had difficulties being accepted. Since I had used my card earlier that day, this is an IT problem at your end that needs investigation. I also don’t know whether my $100 “security deposit” was refunded as the same issues recurred at check out. Otherwise, I was very satisfied with my stay at this facility.
