Concert Weekend

Came into town for a concert. Have stayed here a handful of times. I like that we can always check in early and no extea fee. Rooms are always clean and staff friendly. But this time we were put in a handicapped room. We told them we did not request that, when we checked in. Everything was low, the beds, the sink, and the shower was roll in. Just not the same as a regular room. Will stay here again but just will not accept a handicapped room. Location of the hotel is very convenient.

Very disappointing stay, definitely not typical Best Western quality. Overall, the hotel was a bit run down, needs a refresh and a good clean. My room was somewhat dirty, floor sticky and shower did not seem clean. I was hoping to take a swim, but the pool is ice cold and gross, kinda green. They have an over priced system set up in the lobby for water and snacks, $6 for a water bottle in this dump. Definitely avoid and pay a couple bucks extra for another hotel in the area!

We stay at this hotel frequently. Not the most convenient location if you are not going to the arena or administrative offices, but we feel safe and there are several restaurants to choose from within walking distance. Staff is friendly and attentive. Our room shows a bit of age related wear and tear, but nothing major. Despite being across from the transit station and train terminal, is very quiet. The breakfast could use a little more volume, but decent if you want to stay on site. I'll keep coming back to this one!

This is a great place if you need a clean, comfortable and affordable place to stay. Staff are pleasant and helpful. The neighborhood is rough. If you need a very quiet room, you can request and the front desk will make every effort to put you in a room far from street noise. Even though the neighborhood is sketchy, it has great places to eat! Just be back by 9 pm as the security gate that encloses the hotel is locked at that time.

The check in process was chaotic and took forever as Expedia apparently hadn’t paid them (even though I paid in full with Expedia at booking). I did not let that effect my rating of the property as that isn’t really within their control but be careful booking through third party? The king handicap room was spacious. Bed was fine. Overall fairly quiet. The bathroom had a very strong musty/old towel smell to it but was clean. The property itself is very pretty- a lot of nice trees and flowers! Convenient for attending an event at the convention center across the street. Parking was easy and they closed the gate to the street at night for security- could access with room key.
