Worst experience of our lives.
When we arrived at the hotel we realized that the parking lot was being used for a music festival. There was no parking available anywhere. Upon checking in I asked if we could leave our car by the front door and was told only for a little while. After realizing that the problem was only getting worse as people continued to pour onto the property, we decided to leave. We were told that we would not be refunded for the stay because the parking situation was out of the hotels control. We will never stay at a best western again. This business cares nothing about customer service. There is no way a person can stay at a hotel where there is no place to park their car. If they are going to use their parking lot for local events, they need to close the hotel in order to do so

Not the “Best” Best Western
Room looked dirty and had an awful smell, like urine covered up with chemical cleaners. I’ve stayed at best western plus many times, this is one I wouldn’t stay at again. The breakfast, and the distance to universal was the only real upside.

Was okay. Great location but I do realize that the area was hit by a hurricane a couple days before. so over looking the dirty areas. Food was mediocre cold eggs and dried up sausage links. Shuttle only went once to universal and only one return trip.

The room smelled horrible like mold and mildew definitely from the carpet and AC. The bathroom door got stuck and my son couldn't get out. AC wasn't cold enough. Toilet was dirty and had a pubic hair on the seat. TV was buffering no clear picture. Phone in room wasn't working. The front desk was no help at all. The man working at the front desk said he wanted to cancel our reservation but we were like and then where do we go at 7 pm. We asked to move rooms and he said no. I said can you check before you say no. Then he said were sold out. He was not willing to help in anyway. He then said there's no housekeeping either so basically we had to clean it ourselves. I had to get clorox wipes to wipe down the entire room and purchased deodorizer for the horrible smell. WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN, ONE NIGHT WAS BAD ENOUGH!
