Property looks better every time I stay there. There was a significant musty smell in the room and this should have been addressed. Quiet and convenient. Friendly staff.

4/10 Fair

I picked this hotel because of the pool and the continental breakfast because I had children with me. Upon arrival, we were not told at check-in that the pool had been shut down by the Health Dept. We soon found out that it had been shut down 10 days earlier and still was not up and running. Continental breakfast left a lot to be desired, and we had ants in our room and smoke detector was literally hanging off the ceiling by a wire. And on top of all this, the Wi-Fi was down as well.
Doris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A quiet gem just off the highway. We had a comfortable night here - room was clean, beds were comfy. A nice view out the window of a pond and woods was a surprise! Breakfast ends early (at 9) but service was friendly.
Jeanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was not the best experience. The guy was not a good people person. He acted like having to do his job was a bother. The initial look of the hotel was great. Then we got to our room. The bathroom was missing trim work and had cracked tiles. The floor looked like it had not been cleaned including the carpet. The beds smelled very odd. The beds were comforting though. Breakfast was almost nothing at 8:20am. Was an ok place to stay but needs better cared for.
Tracie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Recently updated. Nice rooms. Great breakfast and staff. Fair price. Only downside is there are not many restaurants/ food options nearby. Not a big deal, though. Would stay again!
Greg, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was dirty and bathroom toilet had not been cleaned. Gave us a different room and it was even worse. Smoke alarm hanging from ceiling. Pry matks on ddor inside and out. Paid 130 dollars and it wasnt even worh 70. Will never stay at a best Western ever again. Do not recommend!!

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and well maintained. The hotel is closed to highway and gas station but in the back you have beautiful views ( trees and little lakes ). It was perfect spot to walk our puppy . They have a Keurig coffee maker in the lobby with Starbucks cups . Very well stocked breakfast bar but you have to get there earlier. Overall very good experience and will definitely stay there again.
Peter, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is old. Smelled funny when we walked in the room. Nice beds, clean. Breakfast was just ok. We paid around $200 for the night we were there and definitely overpriced.
Michelle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The tv in the room didn't work and the doorknob for the closet was about to fall off. The location was convenient and the staff I dealt with was friendly and attentive. I like the breakfast and thought the bacon was delicious.
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was a little tired but the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very sparce bu I did love the ham and cheese potatoes.
Debora, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was fine, a typical older hotel. I was there in hot, humid, summer weather, and the room felt very damp all the time. Nothing dried. I also noticed some ants in my room.
Deb, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean, interior, lobby and halls were clean, but need more lighting. Outside needs more attention. Lawn was overgrown.
James E, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was okay, sadly won’t book there again

Location was convenient, hotel itself was not so great. Our first room had issues with the tv, the rooms keys didn’t work half the time so we needed about 10 for a 12 hour stay. We switched to a different room due to issue with tv, the bathroom was falling apart. Their fire system is also not working properly, so I would be very careful if you book! We’ve have stayed here previously (the pool wasn’t open or even working at the time for that trip, was one the main reasons we booked was the indoor pool) , we will not be returning! The breakfast was okay. Pancake machine was broken.
