At first, I didn't notice it, but after I checked in at 9:00 PM, I went to get something to eat and when I got back to the hotel, I sat in the chair to watch TV to wind down before I went to sleep. That's when I noticed that the chair smelled like a dog had been in it. Not feces, just the distinct smell of dog. It was late by then (after 10) and since I was going to leave early anyway, I didn't notify the front desk to see about exchanging the room for one that didn't smell like a kennel. I thought that if I could just cover the chair, it would mask the smell long enough that I could soldier through, thinking the smell would be confined to the chair and I would sleep on the part of the bed farthest away from it. So, I covered the chair with towels and went to bed. The smell was on the floor over there too and kept me up until I decided to leave at 2:30 AM and continue on my travels with no sleep. I blame myself as much as Best Western. I liked the location of the hotel and the service, but there is no possible way housekeeping could have cleaned that room and not noticed that smell. I should have gone directly to the front desk and demanded another room and am upset with myself that I didn't. I like dogs as much as the next person, but don't want to pay to sleep with them.
