What I liked about the property was the receptionist at check in was very nice, polite and respectful. I ended up loosing my phone for about 45 min and return to the front desk and my phone was safe and behind the counter. I would stay again.

Fitness room (gym) was clearly not maintained and there just for the hotel to say it’s there on the website; it has an elliptical that was old and with a visibly broken handle, and a treadmill that is old and in disrepair, and dumbbells with rust. There wouldn’t be room for someone to use the dumbbells and someone else to use the elliptical at the same time. Front desk staff was either not there or not excited to interact with guests. I had to ask about the wireless access, and the check-in host referred me to the back of the keycard holder as if she had already told me. There was no cordial welcomes or thank you. Room beds were good and same with bathroom including the water pressure. The cupboard door that would cover the fridge was broken off and stored in the closet. The closet or room did NOT have a safe. We liked the breakfast (cereal and coffee and waffle maker and eggs and sausage and fruit). The hotel had CNN on the TV for the lobby and for the breakfast area. This is a biased media channel, and for the Best Western brand to have a biased “news” channel as their default channel in public spaces is a rather unintelligent business or management choice. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for anything besides a quick overnight and free breakfast; they did not show welcome or appreciation to guests and chose an infamously biased TV channel for their public TV screens.

The hotel could stand to put the heat on in the hallways and room where you eat your breakfast. The rooms were clean and quiet and we enjoyed our stayed. Easy driving to a lot of great shopping and dining areas. Thank you from Canada!

Not happy
I will not be booking this hotel again any time in the near future. Firstly, it is under construction, which we were not informed about, zero atmosphere and a strong chemical smell, I assume from the carpets. Most importantly, I was given an inferior room that I did not book, the staff was very rude and apparently they did not even have the jacuzzi suite with a king bed that they advertised and I booked. I was given a standard room with 2 queen beds and they insisted that the reservation was confirmed by hotels.com, which was not true. No apology, nothing. The staff was just miserable and the breakfast was awful. I'm told the restaurant (Daniella's) is very good, but I do not believe they are actually affiliated with the hotel, so my recommendation is to eat at the restaurant, but stay somewhere else!!

Found out upon arrival that the “breakfast “ was unavailable due to ongoing maintenance This added a cost to our visit and was not on the website or we would have went elsewhere Found a ranch dressing bottle in the fridge and a still damp washcloth in the washroom Ice machine out of order I would like to be compensated for the additional cost of having to purchase breakfast for 4 people instead of having it included in our agreement with the hotel and Expedia. This is something that should have been identified on every website that Best Western advertises on Completely unacceptable

No notification of construction and rude staff
The whole lobby and breakfast area is under construction. The floor was all torn up and sharp pieces of metal were just thrown around on the floor. There was no breakfast. We got no notification of any of this. The woman at the front desk was incredibly rude and dismissive about all of it.
