Stayed here for one night on our road trip. Found the staff to be very friendly. The room was nice but was let down by the fact that the beds were original. The fitness room was alright and the pool was pretty good. Breakfast was very good the next day.

Dear Keith, Thank you for bringing Room 274 bed to our attention. All of our beds are within 5 years old so we put the room out of order and tore the bed apart and found a couple of broken pieces of wood on box frame. We have placed an order for a new set. We apologize for your lack... More

I stay here aprox 30 nights a year. The entire staff is great and always helpful. The food is always good at the restaurant and the free breakfast is just always perfect. I can't say enough good things about this Best Western. Highly recommend it to anyone while in the area.

I felt that our stay here was very average. Nothing really bad, but nothing really stood out as above par to us either. We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The front desk clerk was efficient at checking us in. Our room was on the small side, and did not have a refrigerator or microwave. However, everything was very... More

We were pleasantly surprised at the free schuttle service to the Surf Ballroom. Room was clean and loved the King Suite, We enjoyed the Hot tub by the pool and the hot breakfast. We also did take out from the resturant and the volume and quality of food was very good. We hope to go back for another concert and... More

Site is right off of I-35 so it is super easy to get to. I held a two-day meeting here and it went much better this time. They have had severe roof issues that hopefully have been solved. A simple case of hiring too cheap of roofing contractor - though most property owners don't see things that way. I understand... More

Stayed in back area where the truck drivers stayed. It was a smoking room and the room had a smoke smell even in the bed. Sprayed the room with Lysol. The lighting in the room was dark. The bulbs needed more watts. Good selection of breakfast items with real china. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean.
