Our overall experience was very good and we would stay there again. I did find it petty we were charged $21 per day for parking because we booked a package deal through Expedia (flights, car, hotel). They claimed if we booked the room through the Best Western site, we wouldn’t have been charged that and the daily rate of the room was actually lower than Expedia’s. Of course there’s no way to prove it because you can’t know the division of hotel and rental car costs with a package deal. The other downside of this property is the cleaning staff use the same elevators as the guests and the elevators are slow and small. Sometimes we waited 5 minutes for an elevator (usually when breakfast was about to end) and guests are not permitted to use the stairs. The doors are locked on the stairwell side so you can take the stairs up or down but cannot get back into the hallways.

This property should be ashamed to be called a best western. Which use to be a reputable name. This hotel is far beyond the need of a renovation.

Staff is AMAZING. Front desk helped me with several personal issues, printing needs, directions, local info, advice on how to save money and make better booking options for next time. And there will be a next time. Clean! Cleaning staff was very good. High level of attention. Crumpled up receipts that I had dropped under the desked were picked up. They clean everything! Breakfast was an average hotel type breakfast and it is a very busy room, but they keep up. Great food & bev maintenance. Good value place to stay.

This place has a very good balance of price with quality. Its not extravagant but good to stay. If you just want a place to relax and get rest for the next day. Then this is your place. If you are looking for someplace to spend evenings do some work. Then its debatable, but still good enough. One problem was the pillows. They only have one size pillows which was not very helpful for my wife.

The hotel should clean up the front of its property along 8 St. SW, which currently looks derelict or closed. The back entrance and parking area look much better. If I drove by the front of the hotel when deciding on staying at the hotel, I would have found another hotel. The stairways also need work and look unfinished. The service staff were excellent and let us into our room at noon (check on time 4pm). The breakfast could be improved, with real fruit. Breakfast service staff were also very good. The room itself was clean and a nice size, with big windows and a decent view. Cleaning staff for the room were also good.

Very comfortable bed, clean quarters. The hotel itself is in a run-down area of downtown, though a wonderful cafe is across the street. The decor is a little worn and dingy, though I appreciated the paintings. Very helpful staff. It would have been good to have some access to food in the hotel besides breakfast.
